19. H2o.randomForest
Random Forest (RF) is a powerful classification tool. When given a set of data, RF generates a forest of classification trees, rather than a single classification tree. Each of these trees generates a classification for a given set of attributes. The classification from each H2O tree can be thought of as a vote; the most votes determines the classification.
