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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
