Optum Global Solutions Associate Data Scientist Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. Difference between bagging and boosting
Ans. 
Bagging and boosting are ensemble learning techniques used to improve the performance of machine learning models by combining multiple weak learners.
• Bagging (Bootstrap Aggregating) involves training multiple models independently on different subsets of the training data and then combining their predictions through averaging or voting.

• Boosting involves training multiple models sequentially, where each subsequent model c...read more
