RRMSE-enhanced weighted voting regressor for improved ensemble regression. by Shikun Chen, Wenlong Zheng

“…This uniform weighting approach doesn't consider that some models may perform better than others on different datasets, leaving room for improvement in optimizing ensemble performance. To overcome this limitation, we propose the RRMSE (Relative Root Mean Square Error) Voting Regressor, a new ensemble regression technique that assigns weights to each base model based on their relative error rates. …”
