Random Forests ~ Leo Breiman(2001)

Random forests are a combination of tree predictors such that each tree depends on the values of a random vector sampled independently and with the same distribution for all trees in the forest.
-
the generalization error for forests converges a.s. to a limit
- as the number of trees in the forest becomes large
-
the generalization error of a forest of tree classifiers
-
depends on the strength of the individual trees in the forest
- and the correlation between them
