The guide covers core techniques including bagging (training models on different data subsets), boosting (sequential training to correct errors), and stacking (using a meta-learner). It explains voting strategies, diversity requirements, and popular algorithms like Random Forest, AdaBoost, and Gradient Boosting. While ensemble methods improve accuracy, robustness, and generalization, they come with trade-offs including computational complexity, reduced interpretability, and dependency on quality base models. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
