Gradient Boosting: A Complete Guide to XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Gradient Boosting is one of the most powerful techniques in machine learning today. It helps build highly accurate models by combining many weak learners into one strong predictor. It is widely used in finance, healthcare, e-commerce, cybersecurity, and competitive data science.<\/p>\n

1. What Is Gradient Boosting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gradient Boosting is an ensemble learning technique<\/strong>. It builds models step by step. Each new model learns from the errors of the previous model. Over time, the system becomes more accurate.<\/p>\n

Instead of training one strong model, Gradient Boosting trains:<\/p>\n
