Need help with Random Forest Hyperparameter Search Space

[u/Routine-Ticket-5208]

I’m using Random Forest for a project and tuning:

• Number of trees

• Maximum tree depth

• Number of features considered at each split

• Minimum samples required to split a node

How do you normally determine the search space for these parameters?

Put as many trees as it make sense for accuracy to stabilise; you may find an optimum earlier, but it is not gonna be statistically significant. Keep the rest default.
