AdaBoost is a meta machine learning algorithm. It performs several rounds of training in which the best weak classifiers are selected. At the end of each round, the still misclassified training samples are given a higher weight, resulting in more focus on these samples during the next round of selecting a weak classifier.

AdaBoost in scikit-learn with 1D Weak Learners
I'm trying to replicate some previous work where an AdaBoost classifier was used for a two-class classification problem. There are 75 input dimensions but each weak learner exists in one dimension only.
All of the input values lie in [0,1], and…

Is it possible to use a different data set as input for prediction in AdaBoostRegressor (sklearn)?
I am just beginner of machine learning and I am playing sklearn now.
I copied the example of AdaBoostRegressor from official site at here and added the following.
X_pred = np.linspace (6, 12, 100)[:, np.newaxis]
y_pred = regr_2.predict(X_1)
As the…
