IMPLEMENTING ENSEMBLE METHODS WITH PYTHON

Hello, welcome to my blog. In my previous post I introduced the concept of ensemble classifiers. I also talked about their operation and two popular ensemble methods – Boosting & Random Forests.
In this post I want to demonstrate how to implement the two ensemble methods mentioned above using the GraphLab library in Python. I will use the same dataset – LendingClub dataset so we can compare the performance of the single tree model to the ensemble model.
