Modifying n_tree during predict with num parallel trees

#1

Hi Team!

It seems like if you want to use random forest like model with number of parallel trees fitted (up to all trees fitted simultaniously ones) you need to somehow modify num_trees during predict stage, otherwise you would get incorrect predictions

Ive seen something like best_ntreelimit = model$bestInd * num_parallel_tree

Why it can’t be used without any modifications?

I think the behavior is expected, since the parameter is called best_ntreelimit, which indicates the best number of trees.
