## random forests are a popular classification method based on an ensemble of a
## single type of decision trees from subspaces of data in the literature there
## are many different types of decision tree algorithms including c cart and
## chaid each type of decision tree algorithm may capture different information
## and structure this paper proposes a hybrid weighted random forest algorithm
## simultaneously using a feature weighting method and a hybrid forest method to
## classify very high dimensional data the hybrid weighted random forest algorithm
## can effectively reduce subspace size and improve classification performance
## without increasing the error bound we conduct a series of experiments on eight
## high dimensional datasets to compare our method with traditional random forest
## methods and other classification methods the results show that our method
## consistently outperforms these traditional methods

Punctuation can provide gramatical context which supports understanding. Often for initial analyses we ignore the punctuation. Later we will use punctuation to support the extraction of meaning.
