Lab concept guide

What to observe while you experiment

Ensembles combine multiple learners to reduce variance, correct sequential errors or blend complementary predictions. Bagging, boosting, voting and stacking use different combination mechanisms, so diversity and validation design matter as much as model count.

MechanismInspect each base learner’s prediction and then the aggregation/update rule that produces the ensemble prediction.

Failure modeAssuming more learners always help or training a stacker on predictions from models that were fit on the same rows used to generate those stacking features.

VerificationCompare base-model errors with ensemble errors on held-out data and verify that stacking/meta-features are created out-of-fold when required.

Experiment deliberately

Hold the dataset fixed and compare bagging with boosting. Predict whether errors should be reduced through averaging or sequential correction, then inspect the result.
