Bayesian Stacking Ensemble/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Stacking Ensemble

Bayesian stacking combines the predictive distributions of several base models by finding non-negative weights that maximise the leave-one-out log predictive score of the mixture. Formalised by Yao, Vehtari, Simpson, and Gelman (2018), it yields a single calibrated predictive distribution that is provably at least as good as any single constituent model under cross-validation.
