ensemble model in case of outliers

I am working on predictive(linear regression) modeling technique but my target variable has huge amount of outliers let say 30-40% data is outliers so I want to know whether is it a good idea to go for ensemble model, I mean:-
1. build one model for non-outlier data
2. build another model for outlier data
3. And then predict using average prediction from both the model(as we do in ensemble modeling)



Note: - After transformation also outlier exists - so this is also not a feasible option as per my research activities.



cannot share data for security reasons.



I did try to find solution(suggestions) on many discuss group but could not reach to any fruitful conclusion.

    I didn't downvote, but it seems that you don't have a programming question here. Maybe ask in the Stats or Data Science SE.

    I think making separate models for different effects is a good idea, but my advice is to not think about "normal" effects versus "outliers". My advice is to think about the different ways that observable data may be generated; there may be any number of ways. Build a model that expresses what you know about each data generating mechanism, and then train the whole collection at the same time via EM or whatever, i.e. my advice is, don't filter out "outliers" and then train the "normal" model on the leftovers. Good luck, this is a good problem. Also stats.stackexchange.com will have more to say.

  • Thanks @RobertDodier I did build a single model(Linear regression specifically) for the whole data but I have not reached to any conclusion as of now so thought to give it a try to build separate models. I will be going forward with the separate model approach and if I will get something fruitful out of it, I will share with all.

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

Image
1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
