What is to be gained by ensemble models in analysis of spectroscopic data?
This work addresses the problem of improving prediction accuracy in spectroscopic data analysis for researchers, but it is incremental as it applies existing ensemble methods to this domain.
The study compared ensemble models for spectroscopic data analysis, finding that ensemble classifiers consistently outperformed individual models in prediction tasks.
An empirical study was carried out to compare different implementations of ensemble models aimed at improving prediction in spectroscopic data. A wide range of candidate models were fitted to benchmark datasets from regression and classification settings. A statistical analysis using linear mixed model was carried out on prediction performance criteria resulting from model fits over random splits of the data. The results showed that the ensemble classifiers were able to consistently outperform candidate models in our application
