How to use Random forest in Mahout

["Nowal, Akshay" <Ak...@SYNTELINC.COM>]

Hi,

 

I am at a beginner level in using Mahout and m planning to build a random forest model on Customer data  to classify churners and non-churners.

Any help on as to how can we go about it in Mahout?

Does any parallelized algorithm for Random forest is available?

Will Naïve Bayes/Complementary Naïve Bayes work in this situation?

 

 

Thanks,

Akshay Nowal

Mahout Random Forest does not seems scale out well. See a recently PAKDD paper on some new implementation based on hadoop:
" Scalable Random Forests for Massive Data.pdf "
