5.5.2 Variable Importance for Random Forests
Especially when used for forecasting, the most important output from classifiers is the classes assigned to different observations. But for criminal justice decision makers, the forecasts alone may not be sufficient. Because of legal and administrative concerns, knowing the importance for classification of each predictor can be very instructive. How important, for instance, is gender? What about age or prior record?
A useful operationalization of a predictor’s importance is its contribution to classification accuracy. For random forecasts, this is handled in a clever manner. Classification accuracy is first computed using all of the available predictors. Then, each predictor is altered one at a time so that it cannot contribute to classification accuracy. The resulting drop in classification accuracy for each predictor is a measure of importance. Here is the algorithm classification importance.6 1.Grow a tree in a random forest as usual.
