Ensemble learning methods

Ensemble learning methods are used to improve performance by taking the cumulative results from multiple models to make a prediction. Ensemble models overcome the problem of overfitting by considering outputs of multiple models. This helps in overlooking modeling errors from any one model.

Ensemble learning can be a problem for time series models because every data point has a time dependency. However, if we choose to look at the data as a whole, we can overlook time dependency components. Time dependency components are conventional ensemble methods like bagging, boosting, random forests, and so on.

Types of ensembling

Ensembling of models to derive the best model performance can happen in many ways...
