Ensemble Machine Learning Techniques 3.1: Basics of Bagging

The video tutorial covers the bagging technique, starting with its basics and mathematical principles. It explores the use of bagging with SVM for predicting movie ratings and introduces the random forest technique for analyzing sonar data. The tutorial also discusses decision trees for predicting birth weight, comparing bagging and random forest results. A detailed explanation of bootstrapping, including sampling with replacement, is provided. The video concludes with a discussion on the properties of bootstrapping, highlighting its advantages for nonlinear models like decision trees.

Describe the steps involved in the bootstrapping method.
