Description:We examine the use of an ensemble method, Random Forests, to delimit sub- species using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. Diagnosability, a measure of the ability to correctly determine the taxon of a specimen of unknown origin, has historically been used to delimit subspecies, but few studies have explored how to estimate it from DNA sequences. Using simulated and empirical data sets, we demonstrate that Random Forests produces classification models that perform well
