  {"cell_type":"markdown","id":"c21","metadata":{},"source":["## 10. Discussion\n\n1. **Variance reduction is dramatic and fast.** A single decision tree varies by 8 percentage points across random seeds. With B=50 bagged trees, this variance collapses to ~2 points. Most of the improvement happens in the first 20–30 trees.\n\n2. **OOB accuracy tracks test accuracy closely.** The OOB curve and the test curve stay within 1–2 percentage points throughout training. This validates OOB as a free, unbiased substitute for cross-validation on small datasets.\n\n3. **Bootstrap covers ~63.2% of training data per tree.** This is a theoretical result (1 − e⁻¹) and is confirmed empirically in the coverage histogram. The remaining 36.8% (OOB samples) are the out-of-bag set for that tree.\n\n4. **Random Forest adds feature subsampling on top of bagging.** The 1–3 percentage point gap between sklearn Bagging and Random Forest is entirely due to feature subsampling — it further decorrelates the trees, pushing ρ closer to 0 and reducing ensemble variance further."]},
