Random forest#
A RandomForestRegressor is a random forest model
based on scikit-learn.

Problem#
In this example,
we represent the function \(f(x)=(6x-2)^2\sin(12x-4)\) [FSK08]
by the AnalyticDiscipline
discipline = create_discipline(
"AnalyticDiscipline",
name="f",
expressions={"y": "(6*x-2)**2*sin(12*x-4)"},
)
and seek to approximate it over the input space
input_space = create_design_space()
input_space.add_variable("x", lower_bound=0.0, upper_bound=1.0)
To do this, we create a training dataset with 6 equispaced points:
training_dataset = sample_disciplines(
[discipline], input_space, "y", algo_name="PYDOE_FULLFACT", n_samples=6
)

Basics#
Training#
Then, we train an random forest regression model from these samples:
model = create_regression_model("RandomForestRegressor", training_dataset)
model.learn()
Prediction#
Once it is built, we can predict the output value of \(f\) at a new input point:
input_value = {"x": array([0.65])}
output_value = model.predict(input_value)
output_value
{'y': array([-0.88837697])}
but cannot predict its Jacobian value:
try:
model.predict_jacobian(input_value)
except NotImplementedError:
print("The derivatives are not available for RandomForestRegressor.")
The derivatives are not available for RandomForestRegressor.
Plotting#
You can see that the random forest model is pretty good on the left, but bad on the right:
test_dataset = sample_disciplines(
[discipline], input_space, "y", algo_name="PYDOE_FULLFACT", n_samples=100
)
input_data = test_dataset.get_view(variable_names=model.input_names).to_numpy()
reference_output_data = test_dataset.get_view(variable_names="y").to_numpy().ravel()
predicted_output_data = model.predict(input_data).ravel()
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), reference_output_data, label="Reference")
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), predicted_output_data, label="Regression - Basics")
plt.grid()
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Settings#
Number of estimators#
The main hyperparameter of random forest regression is the number of trees in the forest (default: 100). Here is a comparison when increasing and decreasing this number:
model = create_regression_model(
"RandomForestRegressor", training_dataset, n_estimators=10
)
model.learn()
predicted_output_data_1 = model.predict(input_data).ravel()
model = create_regression_model(
"RandomForestRegressor", training_dataset, n_estimators=1000
)
model.learn()
predicted_output_data_2 = model.predict(input_data).ravel()
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), reference_output_data, label="Reference")
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), predicted_output_data, label="Regression - Basics")
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), predicted_output_data_1, label="Regression - 10 trees")
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), predicted_output_data_2, label="Regression - 1000 trees")
plt.grid()
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Others#
The RandomForestRegressor class of scikit-learn has a lot of settings
(read more),
and we have chosen to exhibit only n_estimators.
However,
any argument of RandomForestRegressor can be set
using the dictionary parameters.
For example,
we can impose a minimum of two samples per leaf:
model = create_regression_model(
"RandomForestRegressor", training_dataset, parameters={"min_samples_leaf": 2}
)
model.learn()
predicted_output_data_ = model.predict(input_data).ravel()
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), reference_output_data, label="Reference")
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), predicted_output_data, label="Regression - Basics")
plt.plot(input_data.ravel(), predicted_output_data_, label="Regression - 2 samples")
plt.grid()
plt.legend()
plt.show()
