Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM): MCQ Practice

Gradient boosting machines are strong ensemble learners that build trees sequentially to correct residual errors. These questions cover their intuition, math and practical configuration.

Fit Residuals, Step by Step

Each new tree in GBM is trained to predict the residuals (negative gradients) of the current model.

GBM Workflow

Initialize Model → Compute Residuals/Gradients → Fit New Tree on Residuals → Update Model with Shrinkage → Repeat
