Creating an Ensemble Voting Classifier with Scikit-Learn

Classification ensemble models are those composed by many models fitted to the same data, where the result for the classification can be the majority's vote, an average of the results, or the best performing model result. In Figure 1, there is an example of the voting classifier that we are going to build in this quick tutorial. Observe that there are three models fitted to the data. Two of them classified the data as 1, while one classified as 0. So, by the majority's vote, class 1 wins, and that is the result. In Scikit-Learn, a commonly used example of ensemble model is the Random Forest classifier.
