Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM) and Random Forest (RF) are both popular ensemble learning methods used in machine learning. They are both powerful algorithms and have their own strengths and weaknesses. The following table illustrates various scenarios and suggests which algorithm should be used in each case.

However, it’s important to note that there is no single “best” machine learning algorithm for all problems, and the performance of GBM and Random Forest can vary depending on the specific dataset and problem being solved. It’s always a good idea to experiment with different models and compare their performance on a validation set before choosing the final model for deployment.
Video Explanation
- In the following video, Josh Stramer takes viewers on a StatQuest that motivates Boosting, and compares and contrasts it with Random Forest. Even though the video is titled “Adaboost”, it does explain the differences between Random Forest and Boosting.
