I was using sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier, which is for categorical data. Use sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestRegressor instead, which takes floating point i.e. "continuous" values.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 13 Aug 2018 11:51:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/sklearn-ensemble-randomforestclassifier-as-a/m-p/863065#M1814 HannesZiegler3 2018-08-13T11:51:13Z Re: sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier as a Regression? https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/sklearn-ensemble-randomforestclassifier-as-a/m-p/863066#M1815 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Great to hear you figured out what the problem was and thanks for posting back the result.&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 13 Aug 2018 12:16:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/sklearn-ensemble-randomforestclassifier-as-a/m-p/863066#M1815 XanderBakker 2018-08-13T12:16:57Z
