Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of a previously proposed pruning algorithm for random forest ensembles called BudgetPrune. BudgetPrune tries to optimize the tradeoff between prediction accuracy and feature acquisition cost, allowing for accurate prediction in resource-constrained environments. Using Apache Spark ML's random forest model as a baseline, the influence of the pruning step on prediction accuracy and cost is examined.
