I wrote an article titled “Random Forest Regression Using C#” in the March 2026 edition of Microsoft Visual Studio Magazine. See https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2026/03/18/random-forest-regression-using-csharp.aspx.

The goal of a machine learning regression problem is to predict a single numeric value. For example, you might want to predict the price of a house based on its square footage, number of bedrooms, property tax rate, and so on.

A simple decision tree regressor encodes a virtual set of if-then rules to make a prediction. For example, “if house-age is greater than 10.0 and house-age is less than or equal to 13.5 and bedrooms greater than 3.0 then price is $525,665.38.” Simple decision trees usually overfit their training data, and then the tree predicts poorly on new, previously unseen data.

A random forest is a collection of simple decision tree regressors that have been trained on different random subsets of the source training data. This process usually goes a long way toward limiting the overfitting problem.

To make a prediction for an input vector x, each tree in the forest makes a prediction and the final predicted y value is the average of the predictions. A bagging (“bootstrap aggregation”) regression system is a specific type of random forest system where all columns/predictors of the source training data are always used to construct the training data subsets.

The VSM article presents a complete demo of random forest regression using the C# language. The output of the demo is:

The demo data is synthetic. It was generated by a 5-10-1 neural network with random weights and bias values. The idea here is that the synthetic data does have an underlying, but complex, structure which can be predicted.

When using decision trees for regression, it’s not necessary to normalize the training data predictor values because no distance between data items is computed. However, it’s not a bad idea to normalize the predictors just in case you want to send the data to other regression algorithms that do require normalization.

Random forest regression is most often used with data that has strictly numeric predictor variables. It is possible to use random forest regression with mixed categorical and numeric data, by using ordinal encoding on the categorical data. In theory, ordinal encoding shouldn’t work well. For example, if you have a predictor variable color with possible encoded values red = 0, blue = 1, green = 2, then red will always be less-than-or-equal to any other color value in the decision tree construction process. However, in practice, ordinal encoding for random forest regression often works well.

The motivation for combining many simple decision tree regressors into a forest is the fact that a simple decision tree will always overfit training data if the tree is deep enough. By using a collection of trees that have been trained on different random subsets of the source data, the averaged prediction of the collection is much less likely to overfit.

Random forest regression is conceptually related to bagging (bootstrap aggregation) regression, adaptive boosting regression, and gradient boosting regression. I’m a big fan of 1950s science fiction movies. To my eye, several of the actresses in my favorite films seem to have somewhat similar physical appearances.

Right: Actress Joan Weldon (1930-2021) was in “Them!” (1954) — the well-known giant ant movie.

I write code every day. Like most things, writing code is a skill that must be practiced. One morning before work, I figured I’d run the well-known Diabetes Dataset through a linear regression model. I fully expected a poor prediction model, and that’s exactly what happened.

But the linear regression results are useful as a baseline for comparison with other regression techniques: nearest neighbors regression, quadratic regression, kernel ridge regression, neural network regression, decision tree regression, bagging tree regression, random forest regression, adaptive boosting regression, and gradient boosting regression.

The Diabetes Dataset looks like:

59, 2, 32.1, 101.00, 157,  93.2, 38, 4.00, 4.8598, 87, 151
48, 1, 21.6,  87.00, 183, 103.2, 70, 3.00, 3.8918, 69,  75
72, 2, 30.5,  93.00, 156,  93.6, 41, 4.00, 4.6728, 85, 141
. . .

Each line represents a patient. The first 10 values on each line are predictors. The last value on each line is the target value (a diabetes metric) to predict. The predictors are: age, sex, body mass index, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, total cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar. There are 442 data items.

The sex encoding isn’t explained but I suspect male = 1, female = 2 because there are 235 1 values and 206 2 values).

I converted the sex values from 1,2 into 0,1. Then I applied divide-by-constant normalization by dividing the 10 predictor columns by (100, 1, 100, 1000, 1000, 1000, 100, 10, 10, 1000) and the target y values by 1000. The resulting encoded and normalized data looks like:

0.5900, 1.0000, 0.3210, . . . 0.1510
0.4800, 0.0000, 0.2160, . . . 0.0750
0.7200, 1.0000, 0.3050, . . . 0.1410
. . .

I split the 442-items into a 342-item training set and a 100-item test set.

I implemented a linear regression model using C#. For training, I used pseudo-inverse via normal equations closed form training with Cholesky inverse. The math equation is:

w = inv(Xt * X) * Xt * y

The w is a vector of the model bias in cell [0] followed by the weights in the remaining cells. X is a design matrix of the training predictors (the predictors with a leading column of 1s added). Xt is the transpose of the design matrix. The y is the vector of target values. The inv() is any matrix inverse but because Xt * X is square symmetric positive definite, Cholesky inverse is simplest (but by no means simple). The * means matrix multiplication or matrix-to-vector multiplication.

The output of the demo is:

End demo

As expected, the linear regression model had poor prediction accuracy: just 18.13% on the training data (62 out of 342 correct) and 28.00% on the test data (28 out of 100 correct). A prediction is scored correct if it is within 10% of the true target value.

I don’t know much about art. But here are three images in the art deco style that appeal to my eye. I like the minimalist, linear style.

If you have a matrix, there are several ways to decompose it: LUP decomposition, SVD decomposition, QR decomposition, Cholesky decomposition (only for positive-definite matrices). The QR decomposition can be used for many algorithms, such as computing a matrix inverse, or pseudo-inverse.

If you have a matrix A, the QR decomposition gives you a matrix Q and a matrix R such that A = Q * R (where the * is matrix multiplication).

There are three main algorithms to compute a QR decomposition: Householder, modified Gram-Schmidt, Givens. Each of these three algorithms has several variations. Householder is by far the most complicated of the three, but gives the best answer precision. Modified Gram-Schmidt is dramatically simpler than Householder, but not as precise for pathological matrices. Givens is roughly comparable to modified Gram-Schmidt in terms of complexity and precision.

One evening, I was waiting for the rain to stop so I could walk my dogs Kevin and Riley. I figured I’d make use of the time by implementing QR decomposition using the Givens rotations algorithm, using the C# language.

The output of my demo:

I verified the results by using the NumPy np.linalg.qr() library function, and I got the same results. The demo implementation returns “reduced” Q and R, which is standard. The demo implementation works only for “tall” matrices where the number of rows is greater than or equal to the number of columns, which is standard for machine learning scenarios.

Good fun on a rainy evening in the Pacific Northwest.

I’m a big fan of science fiction movies — good movies, bad movies, old movies, new movies — any kind of science fiction movies. Here are three that were OK (I give all three a “C” grade on my purely personal “A” to “F” scale) but could have been great.

Right: “John Carter” (2012) – Like many of my friends, we all grew up reading “A Princess of Mars” (1912) by ER Burroughs, and it is hands-down our favorite book of all time. When we heard that Disney was adapting the book to a movie, we were all excited. And then . . disaster. The main problem is the actress who plays Princess Dejah Thoris. Instead of a princess, she comes off as an annoying, abasive, tatoo-covered, entitled girl-thug. She single-handedly destroyed the movie.

Demo code. Replace “lt” (less than), “gt”, “lte”, “gte” with Boolean operator symbols (my blog editor chokes on symbols).

I write code almost every day. Writing code is a skill that must be practiced, and I enjoy writing code. One morning before work, I figured I’d run the well-known Diabetes Dataset through a nearest neighbors regression model. I didn’t expect very good results, and that’s what happened.

But the nearest neighbors regression results are useful as a baseline for comparison with more powerful regression techniques: quadratic regression, kernel ridge regression, neural network regression, decision tree regression, bagging tree regression, random forest regression, adaptive boosting regression, and gradient boosting regression.

The Diabetes Dataset looks like:

59, 2, 32.1, 101.00, 157,  93.2, 38, 4.00, 4.8598, 87, 151
48, 1, 21.6,  87.00, 183, 103.2, 70, 3.00, 3.8918, 69,  75
72, 2, 30.5,  93.00, 156,  93.6, 41, 4.00, 4.6728, 85, 141
. . .

Each line represents a patient. The first 10 values on each line are predictors. The last value on each line is the target value (a diabetes metric) to predict. The predictors are: age, sex, body mass index, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, total cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar. There are 442 data items.

The sex encoding isn’t explained but I suspect male = 1, female = 2 because there are 235 1 values and 206 2 values).

I converted the sex values from 1,2 into 0,1. Then I applied divide-by-constant normalization by dividing the 10 predictor columns by (100, 1, 100, 1000, 1000, 1000, 100, 10, 10, 1000) and the target y values by 1000. The resulting encoded and normalized diabetes data looks like:

0.5900, 1.0000, 0.3210, . . . 0.1510
0.4800, 0.0000, 0.2160, . . . 0.0750
0.7200, 1.0000, 0.3050, . . . 0.1410
. . .

I split the 442-items into a 342-item training set and a 100-item test set.

Nearest neighbors regression is arguably the simplest of all regression techniques. Suppose you want to predict the y value for an input vector x of predictor values. You scan through a set of training data (sometimes called the reference data) and kind the k-closest data items, where the value of k is typically about 3 or 5. Then you fetch the associated k target values from the training data, compute their average, and that average is the predicted y value.

I implemented a nearest neighbors regression model using C#. The output of the demo is:

Begin k-NN regression using C#

Loading diabetes train (342) and test (100) data

First three train X:
  0.5900  1.0000  0.3210  . . .  0.0870

X = [  0]   0.59  . . .  0.09 | y = 0.1510 | dist = 0.0000 | wt = 0.2000
X = [215]   0.56  . . .  0.12 | y = 0.2630 | dist = 0.0598 | wt = 0.2000
X = [271]   0.59  . . .  0.09 | y = 0.1270 | dist = 0.0663 | wt = 0.2000
X = [341]   0.57  . . .  0.09 | y = 0.2630 | dist = 0.0678 | wt = 0.2000
X = [  8]   0.60  . . .  0.09 | y = 0.1100 | dist = 0.0686 | wt = 0.2000

Predicted y = 0.1828

End demo

The demo shows that nearest neighbors regression is highly interpretable. With k set to 5, to predict the y value for the first training item, the model finds the 5 closest training items: items [0], [215], [271], [341], [8]. The associated y values are (0.1510, 0.2630, 0.1270, 0.2630, 0.1100). The predicted y value is the average: (0.1510 + . . + 0.1100) / 5 = 0.1828. The demo weights each of the 5 items equally (wt = 0.2000). An alternative design is to give higher weights to closer items.

I didn’t expect great results and that’s what the model produced. The model scored just 26.02% accuracy on the training data (89 out of 342 correct) and 17.00% on the test data (17 out of 100 correct). A prediction is scored correct if it is within 10% of the true target value.

Interesting. It’s usually impossible to tell in advance if a nearest neighbors regression model will fit a particular dataset, and this is a good example of that.

Quadratic regression is an old machine learning technique that can often be effective (in terms of predictive accuracy). Shadow photography is an old technique that can often be effective (in terms of artistry, at least according to my eye).

One year ago, I wrote an article for the now-defunct Microsoft MSDN Magazine titled “Roach Infestation Optimization”. The C# code associated with that article vanished into the void, so I figured I’d rehydrate the demo program.

Roach infestation optimization (RIO) is a numerical optimization algorithm that’s loosely based on the behavior of common cockroaches such as Periplaneta americana. Let me explain.

In machine learning, a numerical optimization algorithm is often used to find a set of values for variables (usually called weights) that minimize some measure of error. The process of determining the values of the weights is called training the model. The idea is to use a collection of training data that has known correct output values. A numerical optimization algorithm is used to find the values of the weights that minimize the error between computed output values and known correct output values.

The most common training algorithms are based on calculus derivatives (stochastic gradient descent), but there are also algorithms that are based on the behaviors of natural systems. These are sometimes called bio-inspired algorithms. These bio-inspired algorithms are usually not practical, but they’re interesting.

The goal of the demo program is to use RIO to find the minimum value of the Rastrigin function with eight input variables. The Rastrigin function is a standard benchmark function used to evaluate the effectiveness of numerical optimization algorithms. The function has a known minimum value of 0.0 located at x = (0, 0, . . 0) where the number of 0 values is equal to the number of input values.

The Rastrigin function is extremely difficult for most optimization algorithms because it has many peaks and valleys that create local minimum values that can trap the algorithms. It’s not possible to easily visualize the Rastrigin function with eight input values, but you can get a good idea of the function’s characteristics by examining a graph of the function for two input values:

The output of the demo is:

Roach algorithm completed

Best error found = 0.000000 at:

0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 -0.0000

End roach infestation optimization demo

The demo program sets the number of roaches to 50. Each simulated roach has a position that represents a possible solution to the minimization problem. More roaches increase the chance of finding the true optimal solution at the expense of performance.

RIO is an iterative process and requires a maximum loop counter value. The demo sets the maximum value to 10,000 iterations. The maximum number of iterations will vary from problem to problem.

In the demo, the best (smallest) error associated with the best roach position found so far was displayed every 500 time units. After the algorithm finished, the best position found for any roach was x = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), which is, in fact, the correct answer. But notice if the maximum number of iterations had been set to 3,000 instead of 10,000, RIO would not have found the one global minimum. RIO is not guaranteed to find an optimal solution in practical scenarios.

RIO is essentially a variation of the similar particle swarm optimization (PSO). The main difference is that in RIO, roaches that are close to each other will sometimes exchange information with each other.

Bio-inspired algorithms such as roach infestation optimization and particle swarm optimization are usually too slow to be practical. But if/when quantum computing becomes a reality, these algorithms could become essential techniques.

“Terra Formars” (2016) is an absolutely bonkers Japanese science fiction movie. In the 21st century, Earth plans to colonize Mars. To terraform the planet, the surface of Mars is seeded with moss and cockroaches to spread the moss.

This movie is one of many things Japanese that absolutely baffle me.

If you have a matrix A, the singular value decomposition (SVD) gives you a matrix U, a vector s, and a matrix Vh, so that A = U * S * Vh. The s is a vector like [2, 4, 6], and S is a square matrix with the s values on the diagonal, 0s off the diagonal.

SVD is used in dozens of important software algorithms.

SVD is an extremely complicated topic, and computing the SVD of a matrix is one of the most challenging problems in all of computer programming. Many researchers worked for many years on the problem, and came up with many different versions of SVD implementations that vary in accuracy, complexity, and robustness. The standard SVD implementation in LAPACK is over 10,000 lines of Fortran code.

I put together an implementation of SVD (Householder + QR version) using the C# language. Unfortunately, my implementation is not as stable as my older implementation that uses the Jacobi algorithm. The first part of my demo output is:

Source (tall) matrix:
   1.0   2.0   3.0   4.0   5.0
   0.0  -3.0   5.0  -7.0   9.0

Behind the scenes, I verified my implementation by feeding the same source matrix A to the NumPy library np.linalg.svd() function to make sure I got the same results. I also constructed the S matrix from the s vector, and then verified that A = U * S * Vh.

For the second part of my demo, I used a “wide” matrix that has more columns than rows – the SVD algorithm works differently for tall matrices than it does for wide matrices:

Source (wide) matrix:
   3.0   1.0   1.0   0.0   5.0
  -1.0   3.0   1.0  -2.0   4.0
   0.0   2.0   2.0   1.0  -3.0

My C# implementation is intended mostly for machine learning scenarios where accuracy to 1.0e-8 is good enough, as opposed to scientific programming where accuracy to 1.0e-15 is typical.

I worked on this SVD implementation off-and-on for several years. I finally got some extended uninterrupted time and coded up a demo but the implementation took several weeks to write. I used over a dozen major resources. The implementation here has all normal error-checking removed to keep the number of lines of code as small as possible.

I’ve written some complex code over the years but this SVD implementation is one of the most complex. I consider the code presented in this blog post to be one of the interesting explorations of my software engineering career. Unfortunately, this implementation isn’t as stable as my older SVD using the Jacobi algorithm.

The development of an algorithm to compute the SVD of a matrix was one of the key advances in the history of computer programming.

Previous innovations included first electrically powered bumpers (1948), modern flipper geometry (1950), automatic reel scoring (1953), and drop-targets (1962).

Demo program. Very long, very complicated. Replace “lt” (less than), “gt”, “lte”, “gte” with Boolean operator symbols. (My blog editor chokes on symbols).

The condition number of a mathematical object is a number that is a measure of how sensitivity the object is to small changes. There are several types of condition numbers. In machine learning you might want to know how sensitive a square matrix A that defines a set of linear equations Ax = b is. Or you might want to know how sensitive a tall matrix (more rows than columns) that holds training data for a prediction model is.

The one-norm condition number of a matrix A is defined as cond(A) * cond(Ainv), in words, the one-norm of A times the one-norm of the inverse of A.

The one-norm of a matrix is the maximum of the column sums of the magnitudes of the values. For example, if A is:

   3.0   0.0  -2.0   5.0
  -1.0   4.0   6.0   3.0
   4.0   1.0   0.0   3.0
  -3.0   2.0   4.0   5.0

The column sums of the absolute values are 11, 7, 12, 16, and so the one-norm is 16.

Note: Another common condition number for matrices is the two-norm condition number. It is defines as the ratio of the largest singular value of the matrix divided by the smallest singular value. Computing singular values is one of the most difficult tasks in all of numerical programming.

I put together a demo using the C# language. To account for tall machine learning style matrices, I computed the pseudo-inverse (which applies to any shape matrix) instead of the standard inverse (which applies to only square matrices).

There are dozens of ways to compute a pseudo-inverse, all of them very complicated. I used QR decomposition via the modified Gram-Schmidt algorithm, which is, in my opinion, the simplest possible algorithm for pseudo-inverse.

The output of my demo:

Begin one-norm condition number demo

Source (square) matrix A:
   3.0   0.0  -2.0   5.0
  -1.0   4.0   6.0   3.0
   4.0   1.0   0.0   3.0
  -3.0   2.0   4.0   5.0

The one-norm condition number = 53.3333

Source (on-square) matrix B:
   3.0   0.0  -2.0   5.0
  -1.0   4.0   6.0   3.0
   4.0   1.0   0.0   3.0
  -3.0   2.0   4.0   5.0
   5.0   3.0  -1.0   0.0

The one-norm condition number = 16.5219

End demo

It’s very difficult to interpret condition numbers other than larger condition numbers mean more sensitive, in other words, small changes in the source matrix can lead to very large chances in the result (linear equation coefficients, matrix inverse for training, etc.)

I have a strange liking for comedy movies that have a special scene/condition: obviously fake bats. To me, these scenes are hilarious.

Right: In “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” (1995), detective Ace Ventura (actor Jim Carrey) loves all animals . . except bats. He is hired to go to Nibia, Africa to find a kidnapped sacred white bat. I’m not a Jim Carrey fan, but this movie has some hilarious scenes. My grade = B+.
