Represent a random forest model as an equation in a paper I'm writing a paper that uses a random forest algorithm. I want to represent the model in the paper.
But I was wondering how to illustrate a random forest model using an equation in a paper, with the target variable, y and features, x.
I hope this makes sense.

You won't be able to write down the full specification of the fitted RF the way you could, e.g., write down a regression equation. The best you can likely do is to explain what software you used (with version), and the exact parameters you provided to your fitting method (ideally also the RNG seed). Then in principle anyone who has your exact data should be able to replicate your model. Plots of the fitted response against important predictors are also often helpful.
