In this article, we describe the implementation of a random forest algorithm in Java to predict the class of iris plants. For this purpose, we begin by defining the requirements and importing the packages. Then, we present the Iris dataset and implement the random forest algorithm using the Weka library. We retrieve the data from the file and store it in GridDB. Then, we retrieve the data and execute the random forest algorithm. Finally, we discuss the results.<\/p>\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>The code presented in the following sections makes use of GridDB to store and retrieve the dataset.

The dataset contains 150 instances of data collected from samples of the Iris plant. It contains 5 attributes that are the sepal length, the sepal width, the petal length, the petal width, and the class of the plant (Iris Setosa, Iris Versicolour, Iris Virginica). Each one of the attributes corresponds respectively to each of the columns of the dataset. Here is an extract:<\/p>\n<div class=\"clipboard\">\n<pre><code class=\"language-sh\">5.1,2.5,3.0,1.1,Iris-versicolor\n5.7,2.8,4.1,1.3,Iris-versicolor\n6.3,3.3,6.0,2.5,Iris-virginica\n5.8,2.7,5.1,1.9,Iris-virginica\n7.1,3.0,5.9,2.1,Iris-virginica<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>Before building the random forest algorithm, we will begin by obtaining the dataset from the CSV file, and writing it into GridDB.<\/p>\n<p>In the following code, we begin by opening the CSV file containing the dataset. We make use of a Scanner to iterate through the file and extract its content. The file is delimited with a new line <code>n<\/code> for new lines, and with a comma <code>,<\/code> for the columns.<\/p>\n<p>In each iteration of the while loop, we place the data in an array of strings, that are cast to their corresponding datatypes and placed into a dedicated variable.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clipboard\">\n<pre><code class=\"language-java\">\/\/ Handling Dataset and storage to GridDB\n            File data = new File(\"\/home\/ubuntu\/griddb\/gsSample\/iris.csv\");\n            Scanner sc = new Scanner(data);  \n            sc.useDelimiter(\"n\");\n            while (sc.hasNext())  \/\/returns a boolean value  \n            {  \n               Row row = collection.createRow();\n \n            String line = sc.next();\n            String columns[] = line.split(\",\");\n            float slenght = Float.parseFloat(columns[0]);\n            float swidth = Float.parseFloat(columns[1]);\n            float plenght = Float.parseFloat(columns[2]);\n            float pwidth = Float.parseFloat(columns[3]);\n            String irisclass = columns[4];  \n            }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>In later sections, we write the data obtained from the dataset into GridDB.<\/p>\n<p>The random forest algorithm is applied to predict the Iris subspecies according to the sepal and petal dimensions of the Iris flower. We discuss its implementation in the next session.<\/p>\n<h2>Implementing a Random Forest Algorithm in Java<\/h2>\n<p>The use of a Random Forest algorithm on the Iris dataset is intended to improve the accuracy to predict the iris subspecies, compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/griddb.net\/en\/blog\/how-to-implement-a-decision-tree-algorithm-in-java\/\">decision trees<\/a>. In fact, the random forest algorithm is presented as an improvement of decision trees, as it uses more complex algorithms to generate predictions. A random forest, as the name might suggest, makes use of multiple decision trees to build a result, so as to be more representative. The difference between the two algorithms is that decision trees use the greedy algorithm to make a decision at each node, while the random forest takes a random subset from the input data to make a decision. We will observe that this difference will actually result in an improvement in the accuracy of predicting the Iris subspecies. To implement the Random forest algorithm we use the Weka library. The Random Forest algorithm is located under the <code>weka.classifiers.trees<\/code> package, which contains other classification algorithms like J48 decision tree mentioned in other articles.<\/p>\n<h2>Write Data into GridDB<\/h2>\n<p>If we watch closely in previous sections, we define a <code>Row<\/code> and a <code>List&lt;Row&gt;<\/code> that are GridDB datatypes used to write the data fetched from the dataset into GridDB. We achieve this with the following code:<\/p>\n<div class=\"clipboard\">\n<pre><code class=\"language-java\">row.setInteger(0,i);\nrow.setFloat(1,slenght );\nrow.setFloat(2, swidth);\nrow.setFloat(3, plenght);\nrow.setFloat(4, pwidth);\nrow.setString(5, irisclass);\n \nrowList.add(row);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Store the Data in GridDB<\/h2>\n<p>Storing the data in GridDB is achieved thanks to the mapping of the columns from the dataset with the container schema defined for GridDB. If we recall the following code, we can observe a direct mapping of the columns. First, we observe a key column of type integer, followed by four float variables, that are each one of the attributes, and finally, the iris class, which is a string. The code used in the previous sections allows inserting data in each one of the columns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clipboard\">\n<pre><code class=\"language-java\"> columnList.add(new ColumnInfo(\"key\", GSType.INTEGER));\n columnList.add(new ColumnInfo(\"slenght\", GSType.FLOAT));\n columnList.add(new ColumnInfo(\"swidth\", GSType.FLOAT));\n columnList.add(new ColumnInfo(\"plenght\", GSType.FLOAT));\n columnList.add(new ColumnInfo(\"pwidth\", GSType.FLOAT));\n columnList.add(new ColumnInfo(\"irisclass\", GSType.STRING));<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>When the following line of code is executed, the data is stored in GridDB:<\/p>\n<div class=\"clipboard\">\n<pre><code class=\"language-java\">rowList.add(row);<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Retrieve the Data from GridDB<\/h2>\n<p>To verify that the data was correctly stored in GridDB, we perform a query that retrieves all the records in the database.

At this moment, we are ready to evaluate the algorithm thanks to the Evaluation class. We will then evaluate the model using cross-validation to obtain the results of the prediction, that we print to our command line. This is achieved with the following lines of code:<\/p>\n<div class=\"clipboard\">\n<pre><code class=\"language-java\">randomForest.setOptions(parameters);\n \nrandomForest.buildClassifier(datasetInstances);\n \nEvaluation evaluation = new Evaluation(datasetInstances);\n \n \nevaluation.crossValidateModel(randomForest, datasetInstances, numFolds, new Random(1));\n \nSystem.out.println(evaluation.toSummaryString(\"nResultsn======n\", true));\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now that our code is ready, we proceed to compile and run our Java code.<\/p>\n<h2>Compile and Run the Code<\/h2>\n<p>In the command line, we navigate to the GridDB folder and execute our commands. Our Java code is located in the randomForest.java file under the folder gsSample. First, we need to compile the file, and then we can execute it. This is achieved with the following commands:<\/p>\n<div class=\"clipboard\">\n<pre><code class=\"language-java\">javac gsSample\/randomForest.java\n\njava gsSample\/randomForest.java<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Conclusion &amp; Results<\/h2>\n<p>Once we compile and run the code, the results below are printed to the command line.
