Is there a built-in class for Random Forest in matlab 2016a that I can start training and testing ?

Dose there a ready made Random forest in the matlab 2016a toolbox that I can use by starting training it with my .mat data ??

However, the alternative https://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/fitrensemble.html was introduced in R2016b.

That's great, thanks for your reply. But is this general for any tree method and by adjusting the parameters it produces random forest ? I mean is it literally equal to Random forest only? if yes then why it is not just named RandomForest instead of treebagger ??

[Walter Roberson]

It appears to be more general than random forest.

Thanks alot.

To build a Random Forest for classification task, which should be more efficient: treeBagger or fitcensemble ??

Sorry, I have no experience with that topic.
