Would it have influence on the result if some attributes are removed? Just want to double check because I am not very familiar with machine learning. If no impact for the result after some fields are taken out of input training data, I will just remove those fields because that would be simpler.

Isn't it simpler to just take out the attributes you want to ignore from the data? Assuming the numpy array a contains your data and you don't want the first column (attribute): a = a[:,1:] On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 1:03 PM, Jason Williams <jwilliams4...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: I follow an example found on the internet (http://blog.yhathq.com/posts/random-forests-in-python.html) for using Random Forest Classifer. The result looks working. From the sample code, it looks like taking all attributes to train the model. But checking api (http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier.html ) there is no description telling that what parameter can be used to ignore some particular fileds/ attributes. So I would like to check if any parameter can be used to ignore particular fields or attributes? > >Thanks > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite! >It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production. >Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead. >Download for free and get started troubleshooting in minutes. >http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=48897031&iu=/4140/ostg.clktrk >_______________________________________________ >Scikit-learn-general mailing list >Scikit-learn-general@lists.sourceforge.net >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scikit-learn-general > -- Roland http://rolisz.ro/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
