Thanks @danielhomola , appreciate taking the time to reply. That answer helps to explain that boruta will always bring up the most important predictors. My question was regarding the robustness of the z-score estimate of the null distribution vs the regular variables; sorry I wasnt clear.
In my case, I have seen random forests with a certain set of features where there are, for example, 2 features that are highly correlated and one of those is # 2 in feature importance while the other feature is dead last. If I removed one other variable that wasn't one of the highly correlated variables, the importance scores would shift around - more so for the highly correlated variables.
My interest is in whether the z- score of the noise distribution would pick up the phenomena above and not count out the groups of highly correlated variables due to the sometimes noisy feature importance scores. I had seen the issue with feature importance scores before and how they could be unreliable at times and found the article at the bottom which helped to explain it a little.
I am still a little ignorant on the boruta method although I have read the paper. Just trying to get a better intuition for how it works and the interaction effects of the random forest feature importance scores ( I realize you can also use other estimators). Thanks for your patience.
