What is the role of ensemble entropy variance decomposition in Random Forest?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Random Forest reduces entropy variance across trees through averaging, stabilizing uncertainty estimates.
Deep explanation
Entropy variance decomposition splits total uncertainty into expected entropy and variance of entropy across models. Random Forest reduces variance component by averaging multiple entropy estimates from different trees, leading to more stable and reliable probability predictions.
