Ensemble Learning
Ensemble learning is a machine learning technique that combines predictions from multiple individual models to create a stronger, more accurate, and robust model. The basic idea behind ensemble methods is to leverage the wisdom of the crowd; by aggregating predictions from diverse models, the ensemble can often outperform any individual model.
Why Do We Need Ensemble Learning
- Increased Accuracy: Combining predictions from multiple models often leads to higher accuracy than any single model.
- Robustness: Ensembles are more resistant to overfitting because they average out biases and errors present in individual models.
- Handling Complexity: Ensembles can capture complex relationships in data that might be difficult for individual models to grasp.
- Versatility: Ensemble methods can be applied to various types of machine learning algorithms, making them versatile and widely applicable.
Example
Let's use the famous Breast Cancer dataset from scikit-learn for this ensemble classification example. Here's how you can perform ensemble learning using Random Forest on the Breast Cancer dataset and visualize the decision boundaries:
