I submitted it because I'm playing with CloudForest right now. I really appreciate your work, it's fun to use.
I'm co-founder of a digital real estate brokerage[1] and as a weekend hack, I'm using CloudForest to predict sale prices for residential real estate using data from the MLS.
A lot of the predictions are really good with a few that are terrible (like double the list price, which is a feature). Any way to get a certainty value for each prediction? Perhaps I could look at the variance of values from each tree? I'm kind of a noob with decision trees so I'm probably totally off base but maybe that question makes sense. :)
