As this topic is very wide and mainly covered in supervised machine-learning books, we invite the reader to check one of the suggested resources if necessary. In this context, instead, we are going to describe the model without a very strong reference to all the underlying theory.

Let's start by saying that a forest is a set of independent models called decision trees. As the name suggests, more than algorithms, they are a very practical way to ...
