  1. aPrediction rates presented as median prediction rates from 126 iteration of RF models with 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles in the parentheses. The overall prediction rate is from a model that is unweighted by category size, while the mode-specific prediction rates are from a corrected model applying a weight. Correction for category size entails modifying the cut-offs for prediction to the observed proportions of the categories, at the forest prediction step (when aggregating information from all trees). For the same tree predictions, a higher “proportion of votes” is reached for rarer categories in the weighted vs. unweighted model
