Understanding Random Forests as Self-Regularizing Smoothers

This repo contains code to replicate the experiments in the paper "Why do Random Forests Work? Understanding Tree Ensembles as Self-Regularizing Adaptive Smoothers" (Curth, Jeffares & van der Schaar, 2024, link).

All experiments in the main text can be replicated using the code in the notebook replicate_experiments_sim.ipynb, all experiments using real data in the appendix can be replicated using the code in the notebook replicate_experiments_real.ipynb.
