In this study we compared the performance of regression tree ensembles using hyperspectral data More specifically. we compared the performance of bagging. boosting and random forest to predict Silex noctilio Induced water stress in Pinus patula trees using little spectral parameters derived from hyperspectral data Results from the study show that the random forest ensemble achieved the best overall performance (R-2 = 073) and that the predictive accuracy of the ensemble was statistically different (p<0001) from bagging and boosting Additionally, by using random forest as a wrapper we simplified the modeling process and identified the minimum number (n = 2) of spectral parameters that offered the best overall predictive accuracy (R-2 = 0 76) The water index and Ratio(975) had the best ability to assay the water status of S noctilio Infested trees thus making it possible to remotely predict and quantify the seventy of damage Caused by the wasp (C) 2009 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
