How does Random Forest relate to decision boundary curvature approximation?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Random Forest approximates curved boundaries via piecewise axis-aligned segmentation.
Deep explanation
Although individual trees cannot create curved splits, dense ensembles of axis-aligned partitions approximate curvature through fine-grained step approximations. This is analogous to Riemann sums approximating integrals, where increasing tree density improves boundary resolution.
