 Review comment:
   Thanks @mgaido91.
   
   I don't have a workable laptop in recent days. So it is hardly for me to run 
the unit test. That is why I ask for more details.
   
   Sounds that this assertion `assert(importances(mostImportantFeature) !== 
importanceFeatures(mostIF))` makes sense. But for `assert(mostIF === 1)`, 
because it picks one random feature per time, are we sure that the most 
importance feature is `1` at all cases? In extreme case, this feature might not 
be chosen at all. It is potentially flaky. This assertion doesn't make too much 
sense to me, maybe we don't need it.
