Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Random Forest

A random forest classifier. A random forest is a meta estimator that fits a number of decision tree classifiers on various sub-samples of the dataset and use averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting.

Modeled after scikit-learn's RandomForestClassifier.

Installation

$ npm install random-forest-classifier

Example

var fs = require('fs'),
    RandomForestClassifier = require('random-forest-classifier').RandomForestClassifier;

var data = [
  {
    "length":5.1,
    "width":3.5,
    "petal_length":1.4,
    "petal_width":0.2,
    "species":"setosa"
  },
  {
    "length":6.5,
    "width":3,
    "petal_length":5.2,
    "petal_width":2,
    "species":"virginica"
  },
  {
    "length":6.6,
    "width":3,
    "petal_length":4.4,
    "petal_width":1.4,
    "species":"versicolor"
  }...
];

var testdata = [{
    "length":6.3,
    "width":2.5,
    "petal_length":5,
    "petal_width":1.9,
    //"species":"virginica"
  },
  {
    "length":4.7,
    "width":3.2,
    "petal_length":1.3,
    "petal_width":0.2,
    //"species":"setosa"
  }...
];

var rf = new RandomForestClassifier({
    n_estimators: 10
});

rf.fit(data, null, "species", function(err, trees){
  //console.log(JSON.stringify(trees, null, 4));
  var pred = rf.predict(testdata, trees);

  console.log(pred);

  // pred = ["virginica", "setosa"]
});

Usage

Options

n_estimators: integer, optional (default=10) The number of trees in the forest.

example

var rf = new RandomForestClassifier({
    n_estimators: 20
});
rf.fit(data, features, target, function(err, trees){})

Build a forest of trees from the training set (data, features, target).

parameters

  • data: training data array
  • features: if null it defaults to all features except the target, otherwise it only uses the array of features passed
  • target: the target feature

example

var rf = new RandomForestClassifier({
    n_estimators: 20
});

rf.fit(data, ["length", "width"], "species", function(err, trees){
  console.log(JSON.stringify(trees, null, 4));
});
rf.predict(data, trees)

The predicted class of an input sample is computed as the majority prediction of the trees in the forest.

parameters

  • data: input sample
  • trees: the forest of trees outputted by rf.fit

example

var rf = new RandomForestClassifier({
    n_estimators: 20
});

rf.fit(data, ["length", "width"], "species", function(err, trees){

  var pred = rf.predict(sample_data, trees);

  console.log(pred);
  // pred = ["virginica", "setosa"]
});
