Add-Ins - Data Mining - Bootstrap Forest boosted tree

Question

ghartel · Answer

to answer my own question - the short answer is no. The formula is basically a sum of all the trees. The Bootstrap forest models tend to be better and more stable than partition tree models, but you lose the nice interpretable tree.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone is aware of an approach that gives both.

I'm moving from Partition to Bootstrap Forest but want to still see the tree. Bootstrap forest will show you all the trees it's made but not sort of a cumulative one.  It would be nice to see the tree that corrsponds to the prediction formula.  Is that possible?
