Train and predict two labels in a single process I have a python program that makes predictions using scikit-learn RandomForestClassifier. The label is called &quot;default&quot; and it's the default status of a loan. This works fine.
What I need now is to extend this model, and have another label called &quot;Prepayment Percentage&quot; that needs to be trained using the same data as the &quot;default&quot; label. Ideally, the model will be trained once and the predictions will also run only once for both labels. Is this possible with RandomForestClassifier?
This would not be possible since the two variables you are trying to predict are of a different type. You are first predicting the default label, which would be yes/no, so this is a classification problem. The second variable you are trying to predict is the prepayment percentage, which is a continuous variable, this is therefore a regression problem. You are not able to combine the two (i.e. a regressor and a classifier) into one model using RandomForestClassifier. You might be able to create a single model yourself that combines the two using the BaseForest base class.
