Luzi's job almost 20 years ago involved working across several and constantly changing PCs and devices.

[D] Confidence Intervals for Classification Models
2) For a classification model, can we make a confidence interval for the prediction of an individual observation? For instance, I wrote some R code (you can directly copy/paste the code) for a particular example where a random forest (i.e. Classification model) is used to predict whether if an observation will be "approved" or "rejected" (see here for the code: https://shrib.com/#Madelyn_NMjYE8) .

Spellcheck doesn't seem to work correctly.
I searched for an online Notepad and clicked on this one, [website](https://shrib.com) randomly to demonstrate this. I typed the words test and text incorrectly. It didn't show there being any words incorrectly spelt. As seen here - [Imgur](https://i.Imgur.com/Nj6R8zB.png). Source: about 3 years ago
