Machine Learning Random Forest with Python from Scratch - Recursion

The video tutorial begins with an overview of random forest and the session's objectives, which include implementing a random forest from scratch without using Python's built-in libraries, except for pandas. The focus then shifts to understanding recursion, a key concept needed for the implementation. The instructor explains recursion theoretically and demonstrates its implementation in Python using a Jupyter notebook. The tutorial concludes with an explanation of recursion as a stack process, highlighting the importance of base cases, variable updates, and function recall.
