Ensemble Learning combines multiple weak learners to create a stronger predictive model.

Benefits:

• Improved Accuracy
• Better Generalization
• Reduced Overfitting
• Increased Robustness

Bagging (Bootstrap Aggregating) is an ensemble technique that trains multiple models on randomly sampled subsets of the training data.

Process:

1. Generate Bootstrap Samples
2. Train Multiple Models
3. Aggregate Predictions
4. Produce Final Output

Bootstrap Sampling randomly selects observations with replacement from the original dataset.

Advantages:

• Creates Diverse Training Sets
• Reduces Variance
• Improves Stability

Bagging Classifier combines predictions from multiple classification models using majority voting.

Example:

from sklearn.ensemble import BaggingClassifier

bag_clf = BaggingClassifier(
    n_estimators=100,
    random_state=42
)

Bagging Regressor combines predictions from multiple regression models using averaging.

Example:

from sklearn.ensemble import BaggingRegressor

bag_reg = BaggingRegressor(
    n_estimators=100,
    random_state=42
)

Random Forest is an extension of Bagging that introduces additional randomness by selecting a subset of features at each split.

Benefits:

• Better Generalization
• Reduced Correlation Between Trees
• Improved Predictive Performance

• Accuracy Score
• Precision
• Recall
• F1 Score
• Confusion Matrix

• Mean Absolute Error (MAE)
• Mean Squared Error (MSE)
• Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)
• R² Score
