Comparison of random forest performance using selected input domains. Performance comparison of random forests in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in predicting current asthma (left panel), current wheeze (middle panel), and doctor's diagnosed eczema (right panel) using the whole feature set (demographic, environmental, genetic, lung function markers, and allergen sensitization) and selected feature subsets. Results are out-of-bag predictions averaged over 100 bootstrap runs.
