This seminar explores their mathematical foundations from a probabilistic viewpoint, focusing on decision trees as recursive partitioners and the role of probabilistic splits in variance reduction. We also discuss bootstrap resampling, which creates diverse training subsets and robust aggregation. Through theory and examples, we reveal how these elements combine to improve generalization and justify the effectiveness of random forests.<\/p>\n<p>Advisor: Asst.
