Description
Make it clear that the random forest is restricting the variables available at each decision in the node (rather than restricting which variables are available for training of the entire tree): https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/machine-learning-trees-python/06-random-forest/
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the random forest section at the linked lesson page and read the explanation of how variables are selected. Revise the note so it clearly says variables are restricted at each node or decision, not for training the entire tree; the lesson text should directly reflect that distinction.
