Boosted or Forest Random Number Seed

Use this option to specify a nonnegative integer to start the random number stream for Gradient Boosted Trees or Random Forests. Different values produce different outcomes of the algorithm.

Note: Changing the random number seed produces a different realization of the algorithm.

Specify 0 to use the current clock time as the seed.

To Specify the Random Number Seed:

Select Automated as the Mode.

Select either Boosted or Forest as the Automated Model Type.

Either type the fraction desired in the text field or move the slider to the right or to the left to specify a value.

Tip: To change the scale of the slider, right-click on the slider and select Rescale Slider from the pop-up menu. Change the upper and/or lower boundaries in the window that appears, to rescale the slider and click OK.
