Gradient Boosting
is a powerful technique that builds a predictive model by sequentially combining multiple , typically , to create a strong overall predictor. Unlike methods such as , this approach minimizes a using by training each new instance to predict the or errors of the previous ensemble. Key hyperparameters include the (or shrinkage) and the number of estimators, which help prevent . This framework has been popularized through highly optimized libraries and frameworks such as , (developed by ), and (developed by ), making it a standard choice for structured or tabular data in competitions and industrial applications.
