Gradient Boosting Regression
This module contains an implementation of Gradient Boosting Regression, an ensemble learning method that combines multiple weak learners (typically decision trees) to create a more robust and accurate model for predicting continuous outcomes based on input features.
Usage
To use Gradient Boosting Regression, follow these steps:
- Import the
GradientBoostingRegression
class. - Create an instance of the class, specifying parameters such as the number of estimators, learning rate, and maximum depth.
- Fit the model to your training data using the
fit
method. - Make predictions using the
predict
method.
Example:
from GradientBoostingRegression import GradientBoostingRegression
gbr_model = GradientBoostingRegression(n_estimators=100, learning_rate=0.1, max_depth=3)
gbr_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
predictions = gbr_model.predict(X_test)
Parameters
n_estimators
: Number of boosting stages (trees) to be run.learning_rate
: Step size shrinkage to prevent overfitting.max_depth
: Maximum depth of each decision tree.
