Boosting and Bagging: How To Develop A Robust Machine Learning Algorithm

Machine learning and data science require more than just throwing data into a python library and utilizing whatever comes out. Data scientists need to actually understand the data and the processes behind the data to be able to implement a successful system. One key methodology to implementation is knowing when a model might benefit from utilizing bootstrapping methods. These are what are called ensemble models. Some examples of ensemble models are AdaBoost and Stochastic Gradient Boosting. They can help improve algorithm accuracy or improve the robustness of a model.
