Hey your channel is a saviour for me because you make all complicated concepts easy to understand . Thanks for contributing the datascience community with such great content
Salut Josh et merci! (Just a french person trying to show his gratitude). Man, your method is amazing and you have a good voice. I saved your videos and locked them in a safe for when my 5 y old daughters are ready to hear about stats and ML... Precious gift you've got. Au revoir!
Loved your videos, man! It's actually makes it's easy to understand the concepts behind the models instead of trying to read their papers, which can take time and some times can be really hard .
Hi Josh, this is by far, the clearest explanation for a concept I was try to figure out for 3 months. Thank you very much! really appreciate your effort ! Keep up the good work !
Same here. For more than a year, I have been using Gradient Boosting heavily because of its accuracy, without understanding how it works. Now all is clear to me. Thank you, StatQuest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your hard work producing all these incredible tutorials Josh. I just can't imagine how'd I have learned these concepts otherwise without your videos!
Hi Josh, I am a Data Scientist and a music enthusiast (drummer). This video has cleared a long time confusion of mine. Thanks a lot buddy. Your songs are also good. :) Keep Rocking.
This is some godlike storytelling, I know myself sometimes skipped/half-understand the mathematical reasoning behind every algorithm, because sometimes its unbearable, too mathematical. You get the essence and storytelling it perfectly! Thanks man! Tha'ts a subs and bell for you!
Thank you! Very few people watch the summaries (youtube gives me statistics that tell me when people stop watching) so I've been debating whether or not they are worth the effort. It's good to know that you appreciate them.
I was working on this all day, because most examples on the internet only touch the classification side of tree-based models. And now my Messiah, my saviour. StatQuest is the only true way of living and all infidels shall be doomed to misinterpret data for the rest of their mortal existence.

thanks for another amazing vid. watching this video alone improves my understanding not only about the model, but also about hyperparameters which makes me better at ML modelling. lucky to have you in the community.
great material, thank you :) sometimes, we need to relax, take a step back and look at seemingly complicated things with a simple perspective. I hope more teachers are exposed to this kind of freedom and agility to creatively present their lessons.
This man saves my life. I first tried to understand the one by reading the book: Elements of Statistical Learning, the book is too complicated and too much information for beginners.

Hi Josh, Many thanks for this awesome video series on tree-based algorithms, this gave us a detailed understanding of the concepts. However, I wanted your views on the below points:- 1.Like a random forest, does gradient boost use a subsample of the sample to build an individual tree? If yes, then how it minimizes the error of the previous trees as the previous trees can have a different sample. 2.How does hyperparameter- subsample works in case of gradient boost? 3. Does gradient boost use a sample of features to build a tree? or it builds a tree by considering all the features? How max_feature hyperparameter works? Your kind help will be very much appreciated. Thank you !!!
1) I believe that most implementations of Gradient Boost allow for random sampling or bootstrapping the dataset. The new tree is then fit to this new dataset, and then the original dataset is run down the tree to calculate residuals. 2) Cross Validation 3) Again, I believe that most implementations allow for a ransom sample of features to be used per tree. This is optimized with cross validiation.
This is a great example of designing good instructions ! The methods you use for putting the learner in the right mindset for taking in difficult information is just inspirational
It was a very simple explanation of the complicated concept .Thanks for the great efforts and iam very passionate about your technique to slowly unravel the concept to brevity. Please keep doing the good work and may god bless you and your initiatives.
Another great video! It would have saved me a ton of time to understand how GBM works if I had watched this video rather than going through lots of random online materials.
Today I was building a haar-like face recognition with Python and I didn’t understand the adaboost algorithm very well, suddenly CZcams showed me a notification about this video so once more you are my salvation... I won’t never understand how some of you can read people’s mind 😂... has you some kind of ML technique never shown before based on trends and predictions?
A fun fact - you pronounce 'S' in exactly the same way as Ian Somerhalder in The Vampire Diaries. As I have said previously, your videos are awesome! Thank you so much for making the life of so many people easier.

@Kristofer Yes, that is correct. That tree is a Regression Tree because it was fit to continuous values (which we see in the leaves).
