Hands-On Ensemble Learning with R

Bootstrapping regression models

The US Crime dataset introduced in Chapter 1, Introduction to Ensemble Techniques, is an example of why the linear regression model might be a good fit. In this example, we are interested in understanding the crime rate (R) as a function of thirteen related variables such as average age, the southern state indicator, and so on. Mathematically, the linear regression model is as follows:

Here, are the p-covariates, is ...
