  22. final val featureSubsetStrategy: Param[String]

    The number of features to consider for splits at each tree node.

    The number of features to consider for splits at each tree node. Supported options:

    • "auto": Choose automatically for task: If numTrees == 1, set to "all." If numTrees > 1 (forest), set to "sqrt" for classification and to "onethird" for regression.
    • "all": use all features
    • "onethird": use 1/3 of the features
    • "sqrt": use sqrt(number of features)
    • "log2": use log2(number of features) (default = "auto")

    These various settings are based on the following references:

    • log2: tested in Breiman (2001)
    • sqrt: recommended by Breiman manual for random forests
    • The defaults of sqrt (classification) and onethird (regression) match the R randomForest package.
