Understanding GBM Predicted Values on Test Sample: A Guide to Improving Model Performance
Understanding GBM Predicted Values on Test Sample ============================================= Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs) are a powerful ensemble learning technique used for both classification and regression tasks. When using GBM for binary classification, predicting the outcome (0 or 1) is typically done by taking the predicted probability of the positive class and applying a threshold to classify as either 0 or 1. In this blog post, we’ll delve into why your GBM model’s predictions on test data seem worse than chance, explore methods for obtaining predicted probabilities, and discuss techniques for modifying cutoff values when creating classification tables.
