The Ultimate Guide to AdaBoost, random forests and XGBoost

How do they work, where do they differ and when should they be used?

Many kernels on kaggle use tree-based ensemble algorithms for supervised machine learning problems, such as AdaBoost, random forests, LightGBM, XGBoost or CatBoost. Maybe you have used them before as well, but can you explain how they work and why they…
