Additional file 16: of The parameter sensitivity of random forests

Random forest usage in papers. A summary table of papers referencing random forest over a seven month period (January 1 to November 4) from BMC Bioinformatics. Information was recorded whether the paper uses a RF algorithm, and if so, whether they parameterized and report the tuned parameters. Eleven of sixteen papers use the RF algorithm and less than half of samples performed model tuning. An even fewer number of papers reported the optimized values [62–87]. (CSV 434 bytes)
