MLB

MLB stands for „Maximum Likelihood Boosting.“ It is a statistical technique often used in the context of machine learning and statistical modeling. This method involves creating a sequence of predictive models, each aimed at correcting the errors of the previous models, ultimately resulting in enhanced predictive performance.

In the context of boosting, maximum likelihood refers to using likelihood estimation to determine the parameters of statistical models that maximize the likelihood of observing the given data. By iteratively adjusting the model to account for the residuals of prior models, MLB improves upon the accuracy and robustness of predictions made by the ensemble.

This approach is particularly useful in scenarios where data features are predictive but may also include noise, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of complex datasets. Ultimately, MLB is part of a broader family of ensemble methods, emphasizing the collaborative strength of multiple models to achieve superior outcomes compared to single-model approaches.
