There is a scikit-learn-contrib project with confidence intervals for random 
forests.

Subject: [scikit-learn] Confidence Estimation for Regressor Predictions

⚠ EXT MSG:

Dear all,

For classifiers I make use of the predict_proba method to compute a Gini 
coefficient or entropy to get an estimate of how "sure" the model is about an 
individual prediction.

Is there anything similar I could use for regression models? I guess for a 
RandomForest I could simply use the indiviual predictions of each tree in 
clf.estimators_ and compute a standard deviation but I guess this is not a 
generic approach I can use for other regressors like the 
GradientBoostingRegressor or a SVR.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Daniel
