Biosphere
Simple, fast random forests.
Random forests with a runtime of O(n d log(n) + n_estimators d n max_depth)
instead of O(n_estimators mtry n log(n) max_depth)
.
biosphere
is available as a rust crate and as a Python package.
Benchmarks
Ran on an M1 Pro with n_jobs=4
. Wall-time to fit a Random Forest including OOB score with 400 trees to
the NYC Taxi dataset,
minimum over 10 runs. After feature engineering, the dataset consists of 5 numerical and 7 one-hot encoded
features.
