An effective guide to using ensemble techniques to enhance machine learning models
Key Features
- Learn how to maximize popular machine learning algorithms such as random forests, decision trees, AdaBoost, K-nearest neighbor, and more
- Get a practical approach to building efficient machine learning models using ensemble techniques with real-world use cases
- Implement concepts such as boosting, bagging, and stacking ensemble methods to improve your model prediction accuracy
Book Description
Ensembling is a technique of combining two or more similar or dissimilar machine learning algorithms to create a model that delivers superior prediction power. This book will show you how you can use many weak algorithms to make a strong predictive model. This book contains Python code for different machine learning algorithms so that you can easily understand and implement it in your own systems.
This book covers different machine learning algorithms that are widely used in the practical world to make predictions and classifications. It addresses different aspects of a prediction framework, such as data pre-processing, model training, validation of the model, and more. You will gain knowledge of different machine learning aspects such as bagging (decision trees and random forests), Boosting (Ada-boost) and stacking (a combination of bagging and boosting algorithms).
Then you’ll learn how to implement them by building ensemble models using TensorFlow and Python libraries such as scikit-learn and NumPy. As machine learning touches almost every field of the digital world, you’ll see how these algorithms can be used in different applications such as computer vision, speech recognition, making recommendations, grouping and document classification, fitting regression on data, and more.
By the end of this book, you’ll understand how to combine machine learning algorithms to work behind the scenes and reduce challenges and common problems.
What you will learn
- Understand why bagging improves classification and regression performance
- Get to grips with implementing AdaBoost and different variants of this algorithm
- See the bootstrap method and its application to bagging
- Perform regression on Boston housing data using scikit-learn and NumPy
- Know how to use Random forest for IRIS data classification
- Get to grips with the classification of sonar dataset using KNN, Perceptron, and Logistic Regression
- Discover how to improve prediction accuracy by fine-tuning the model parameters
- Master the analysis of a trained predictive model for over-fitting/under-fitting cases
Who This Book Is For
This book is for data scientists, machine learning practitioners, and deep learning enthusiasts who want to implement ensemble techniques and make a deep dive into the world of machine learning algorithms. You are expected to understand Python code and have a basic knowledge of probability theories, statistics, and linear algebra.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
Orders usually dispatched within two working days.
