In Topic 5, Part 1: Bagging and under the heading 4. Out-of-Bag Error, It starts as:

> Looking ahead, in case of Random Forest, there is no need to use cross-validation or hold-out samples in order to get an unbiased error estimation. Why? Because, in ensemble techniques, the error estimation takes place internally.

From what I understood, this must have been in the case of Bagging. Not Random Forest. Because in bagging trees, we use bootstrapping as a sampling method, approximately 1/3 of the data is not used in a single tree so this is like an internal validation set. However, Random Forest is about selecting a subset of features randomly so some of the stronger features won't dominate the model in the first splits.

If I am wrong, can you please update me? Thanks.
