Preliminaries



In [4]:

    
# Load libraries
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn import datasets

Load Boston Housing Data



In [5]:

    
# Load data with only two features
boston = datasets.load_boston()
X = boston.data[:,0:2]
y = boston.target

Create Random Forest Regressor



In [6]:

    
# Create decision tree classifer object
regr = RandomForestRegressor(random_state=0, n_jobs=-1)

Train Random Forest Regressor



In [7]:

    
# Train model
model = regr.fit(X, y)
