bookWhat Are Ensemble Methods?

Note
Definition

Ensemble is a collection of models whose predictions are combined to improve overall performance.

Ensemble methods combine predictions from multiple models to produce a final output that is often more accurate and robust than any single model alone. This approach leverages the strengths and compensates for the weaknesses of individual models.

Note
Note

Ensembles often provide more stable and generalizable predictions, especially on noisy or complex datasets.

When individual models (base learners) make different errors, combining them can reduce the overall error rate. This is sometimes called the "wisdom of the crowd" effect.

Note
Definition

Base learner - an individual model (such as a DecisionTreeClassifier) used as a building block in an ensemble.
