Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the gradient boosting regression technique, where the goal is to predict a single numeric value. Compared to ...

We develop a mixed-frequency, tree-based, gradient-boosting model designed to assess the default risk of privately held firms in real time. The model uses data from publicly-traded companies to ...

Insurance premium modeling plays a crucial role in setting fair, accurate and competitive premiums in the industry. Actuarial teams, who specialize in risk management, use these models to predict the ...

A machine learning gradient boosting regression system, also called a gradient boosting machine (GBM), predicts a single numeric value. A GBM is an ensemble (collection) of simple decision tree ...
