irithyll/ensemble/
bagged.rs

1//! Bagged SGBT ensemble using Oza online bagging (Poisson weighting).
2//!
3//! Wraps M independent [`SGBT<L>`] instances. Each sample is presented to
4//! each bag Poisson(1) times, producing a streaming analogue of bootstrap
5//! aggregation. Final prediction is the mean across all bags.
6//!
7//! This implements the SGB(Oza) algorithm from Gunasekara et al. (2025),
8//! which substantially reduces variance in streaming gradient boosted
9//! regression compared to a single SGBT ensemble.
10//!
11//! # Example
12//!
13//! ```
14//! use irithyll::ensemble::bagged::BaggedSGBT;
15//! use irithyll::SGBTConfig;
16//!
17//! let config = SGBTConfig::builder()
18//!     .n_steps(10)
19//!     .learning_rate(0.1)
20//!     .grace_period(10)
21//!     .build()
22//!     .unwrap();
23//!
24//! let mut model = BaggedSGBT::new(config, 5).unwrap();
25//! model.train_one(&irithyll::Sample::new(vec![1.0, 2.0], 3.0));
26//! let pred = model.predict(&[1.0, 2.0]);
27//! ```
