A Cloud-Based Optimized Ensemble Model for Risk Prediction of Diabetic Progression—An Azure Machine Learning Perspective by V. K. Daliya, T. K. Ramesh

“…The proposed model uses various optimization techniques, such as 10 fold cross validation, grid search method etc. to get the best results out of the ensemble model. As the model combines optimized version of LightGBM and KNN through a voting classifier which uses soft voting technique to find the final class, it utilizes the predictive capabilities of both the methods in an effective manner. …”

Scaling up uncertain predictions to higher levels of organisation tends to underestimate change by James A. Orr, Jeremy J. Piggott, Andrew L. Jackson, Jean‐François Arnoldi

“…We explain why dimensional effects do not play out when predicting change of a single linear aggregate property (e.g. total biomass), yet are revealed when predicting change of nonlinear properties (e.g. absolute biomass change, stability or diversity), and when several properties are considered at once to describe the ecosystem, as in multi‐functional ecology. …”
