AB The prediction of multiple numeric outputs at the same time is called multi-target regression (MTR), and it has gainedattention during the last decades. This task is a challenging research topic in supervised learning because it poses additionaldifficulties to traditional single-target regression (STR), and many real-world problems involve the prediction of multipletargets at once. One of the most successful approaches to deal with MTR, although not the only one, consists in transformingthe problem in several STR problems, whose outputs will be combined building up the MTR output. In this paper, theRotation Forest ensemble method, previously proposed for single-label classification and single-target regression, is adaptedto MTR tasks and tested with several regressors and data sets. Our proposal rotates the input space in an efficient and novelfashion, avoiding extra rotations forced by MTR problem decomposition. Four approaches for MTR are used: single-target(ST), stacked-single target (SST), Ensembles of Regressor Chains (ERC), and Multi-target Regression via Quantization(MRQ). For assessing the benefits of the proposal, a thorough experimentation with 28 MTR data sets and statistical testsare used, concluding that Rotation Forest, adapted by means of these approaches, outperforms other popular ensembles,such as Bagging and Random Forest.
