What is the connection between Random Forest and ensemble entropy minimization?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Random Forest reduces ensemble-level entropy through aggregation of multiple low-entropy partitions.
Deep explanation
Each tree minimizes local entropy via greedy splitting. When aggregated, RF reduces uncertainty in class probability estimates across feature space. This ensemble entropy minimization leads to smoother probability surfaces and improved generalization.
