This also means that when we bootstrapped the linear regression model in Chapter 2, Bootstrapping, we actually performed an ensemble there. A few remarks with regards to combining the results of multiple trees is in order here.

Ensemble methods combine the outputs from multiple models, also known as base learners, and produce a single result. A benefit of this approach is that if each of these base learners possesses a desired property, then the combined result will have increased ...
