๐ Advanced Machine Learning Series – Part 4: Real-World Applications & Model Comparison
This is the final part of the Advanced Machine Learning series on Darchumstech. Here we explore how ensemble methods are used in real-world scenarios and how to compare different ensemble models effectively.
Ensemble models are widely used across industries due to their accuracy and robustness:
- Finance: Credit scoring, fraud detection.
- Healthcare: Disease prediction from lab data.
- Retail: Churn prediction and recommendations.
- Marketing: Campaign response modeling.
Important metrics when comparing models:
- Accuracy: Overall correctness.
- Precision & Recall: For imbalanced data.
- ROC AUC: Threshold-independent metric.
- Training Time: Boosting takes longer than bagging.
Always use cross-validation for consistent results.

from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from xgboost import XGBClassifier
X, y = load_breast_cancer(return_X_y=True)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3)
rf = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100)
rf.fit(X_train, y_train)
rf_pred = rf.predict(X_test)
xgb = XGBClassifier(use_label_encoder=False, eval_metric='logloss')
xgb.fit(X_train, y_train)
xgb_pred = xgb.predict(X_test)
print("Random Forest Accuracy:", accuracy_score(y_test, rf_pred))
print("XGBoost Accuracy:", accuracy_score(y_test, xgb_pred))
Compare bagging vs boosting for breast cancer prediction accuracy.
Keep it up!
