Abstract

Greenhouse effects caused by insulating gases with high global warming potential (GWP) pose a severe threat to the environment therefore searching for their alternatives is imperative. In this study, random forest classifiers were utilized to build a classification model for prediction of global warming potential of insulating gases using random forest classifiers. The accuracy and the predictive power of the model were thoroughly evaluated.
