Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does the term 'bagging' refer to in the context of Random Forests?
  • Step 1: Understand that 'bagging' is short for 'Bootstrap Aggregating'.
  • Step 2: Know that it involves creating multiple versions of a model.
  • Step 3: Each version of the model is trained on a different random sample of the data.
  • Step 4: After training, each model makes its own predictions.
  • Step 5: The final prediction is made by combining the predictions from all models, usually by averaging or voting.
  • Step 6: This process helps to reduce errors and improve the overall performance of the model.
