Ensemble Methods: Foundations and Algorithms

摘要

This book assumes that the reader is already familiar with basic statistical learning methods and discusses then how to combine single learners to an ensemble which usually performs better. While the book is rather written for a machine learning and pattern recognition audience the terminology is well explained and therefore also easily understandable for readers from other areas. In general the book is well structured and written and presents nicely the different ideas and approaches for combining single learners as well as their strengths and limitations.
