Tutorial: Obtaining feature importance using variable importance plots
A common question when building a predictive model is: "What features are important?". We show a simple way to get feature importance plot using randomForest package in R.
R package 'randomForest' allows users to obtain a plot of feature importance. In this tutorial, we have shown how to understand which features are important in predicting the target variable in both a classification and a regression scenario.
