How are "feature_importances_" ordered in Scikit-learn's RandomForestRegressor
As mentioned in the comments, it looks like the order or feature importances is the order of the "x" input variable (which I've converted from Pandas to a Python native data structure). I use this code to generate a list of types that look like this: (feature_name, feature_importance).
zip(x.columns, clf.feature_importances_)
You may save the result in a pandas data frame as follows:
pandas.DataFrame({'col_name': clf.feature_importances_}, index=x.columns).sort_values(by='col_name', ascending=False)
By sorting it in a descending manner we get a hint to significant features.
