Using recursive feature elimination in random forest to account for correlated variables in high dimensional data

Abstract Background Random forest (RF) is a machine-learning method that generally works well with high-dimensional problems and allows for nonlinear relationships between predictors; however, the presence of correlated predictors has been shown to impact its ability to identify strong predictors.
