What is the difference between bagging and boosting as ensemble methods?

Key points

  • Bagging reduces variance by aggregating predictions from multiple models.
  • Boosting reduces bias by focusing on correcting errors of previous models.
  • Bagging trains models independently, while boosting trains them sequentially.
