Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Generally, an ensemble method works better, if the individual base models have accuracy ____
A
more than 60%
B
less than 60%
C
more than 50%
D
less than 50%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Note: Suppose each individual base models have accuracy greater than 50%. A lower correlation among ensemble model members will increase the error-correcting capability of the model. So it is preferred to use models with low correlations when creating ensembles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ensemble model works better, when we ensemble models with low correlation. A good example of how ensemble methods are commonly used to solve data science problems is the random forest algorithm (having multiple CART models).

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main reasons to use an ensemble over a single model, and they are related; they are: Performance: An ensemble can make better predictions and achieve better performance than any single contributing model. Robustness: An ensemble reduces the spread or dispersion of the predictions and model performance.
