Chapter 5. Ensemble Modeling
Note
Learning Objectives
By the end of the chapter, you will be able to:
Explain the concepts of bias and variance and how they lead to underfitting and overfitting
Explain the concepts behind bootstrapping
Implement a bagging classifier using decision trees
Implement adaptive boosting and gradient boosting models
Implement a stacked ensemble using a number of classifiers
Note
This chapter covers bias and variance, and underfitting and overfitting, and then introduces ensemble modeling.
