The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Bob : Ensembling is the way to go .... that's what how I use mine anyway!

You can always do mean or median on Regressors as a proxy to Ensembling Classifiers or any other central tendency hashing looking at the distribution of your regression estimates. Classifiers typically work the same way - especially if you do the logit(sigmoid) transform to output the class probabilities instead of accepting the inbuilt thresholding . At that point in time you are ensembling continuous probabilities.

FC : If you are comfortable with R - the corresponding and actually WAAY more feature rich package to scikit-learn is CARET. In fact that's the most popular modeling package in R.
