This looks perfect. I’m pretty knew to ensemble methods, so please forgive this 
ignorant question: what’s the difference between ExtraTrees and RandomForests? 
From http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/ensemble.html it looks like 
ExtraTrees is an extension of RandomForests. Examples of when one would use one 
vs. the other would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Allessandro,

you might want to look into this presentation by Olivier
https://speakerdeck.com/ogrisel/growing-randomized-trees-in-the-cloud-1 --
it should be pretty much what you need. Code is here
https://github.com/pydata/pyrallel.

In particular have a look at the class:

https://github.com/pydata/pyrallel/blob/master/pyrallel/ensemble.py#L131

There is a basic usage example here:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/pydata/pyrallel/blob/master/examples/Distributed%20Randomized%20Tree%20Growing.ipynb

Sorry no releases, no doc and no tests (besides basic inline
doctests). This is an experimental project and the API might change at
point but you can use it as an example to your own IPython.parallel
based code if you wish.

If you want to dig further you might also want to have a look at this
video tutorial:
