I've recently had a research manuscript rejected by an editor. The manuscript showed that for a real life data set, random forest outperformed multiple linear regression with respect to predicting the target variable. The editor's objection was that random forest is a black box where the random assignment of features to trees was intractable. I need to find an alternative method to random forest that does not suffer from the black box label. Any suggestions? Would caret::treebag be free of random assignment of features? Your assistance is appreciated.
