Random Forest Machine Learning Tutorial in Python for Lithology Prediction - Includes Overview

Random forest is a very popular machine learning algorithm that can be used for both classification and regression. Within this tutorial we will go over the basics of the random forest algorithm before moving onto a real world example where we are attempting to predict a lithological class from well log measurements. ⭐️ If you haven't already, make sure you subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1O_4_ApzbYwrsUdRoMmOg?sub_confirmation=1 Data Source Bormann, Peter, Aursand, Peder, Dilib, Fahad, Manral, Surrender, & Dischington, Peter.
