What is the entropy rate interpretation of Random Forest ensembles?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Random Forest reduces entropy rate of prediction uncertainty through averaging.
Deep explanation
Each tree reduces local entropy by partitioning space. The ensemble reduces global entropy rate by averaging multiple independent entropy-reducing processes. This leads to a more stable posterior class distribution estimate across feature space.
