What is Stacking?

Stacking is an ensemble machine learning technique that combines multiple base models to produce a more accurate predictive model. It works by training several diverse base models, then training a meta-model to learn how to best combine the predictions from the base models. This meta-model is trained on the out-of-sample predictions of the base models. It is commonly used to improve prediction accuracy and robustness compared to using a single model.

What other technologies are related to Stacking?

Stacking Competitor Technologies

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) provides gateway redundancy, which stacking also addresses, making them competitors.

Stacking Complementary Technologies

Ether channel (LACP) can be used to increase bandwidth between stacked switches, so it is complementary.
