The instructions below describe how to extract the split points from a trained Random Forest model and use them to bin or discretize your variables. This method will help you convert your continuous data into discrete bins based on the decision limits utilized by your Random Forest model. Each tree in a Random Forest can be accessed independently. Scikit-learn, for example, lets you to view each decision tree in the Random Forest model. from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
# Assuming rf is your trained Random Forest model
trees = rf.estimators_ The tree_ property provides access to the split points of each tree. This attribute stores the decision tree topology, including the split points for each node. split_points = []
for tree in trees:
tree_ = tree.tree_
threshold = tree_.threshold
split_points.extend(threshold[threshold != -2.0]) Because several trees may split at the same spots, you must remove duplicates and arrange the split points. unique_split_points = sorted(set(split_points)) Discretize the variables. Bin your continuous variables based on their distinct split points. This can be accomplished using a variety of approaches, including pandas' cut function. import pandas as pd
binned_data = pd.cut(your_continuous_variable, bins=unique_split_points, include_lowest=True) We hope this detailed instruction assists you in extracting split points from your Random Forest model and using them to discretize your variables.
