Boosting

Ensemble Learning

one model is an opinion; a committee is an estimator. 𐃏 ensemble methods build many imperfect predictors and combine them, and the two great families attack opposite ends of the bias-variance decomposition: bagging averages low-bias, high-variance models to cancel their wobble; boosting stacks up high-bias, low-variance weak learners to build accuracy that none of them has alone.
