Welcome to our insightful journey into Stacking, a robust ensemble learning technique prevalent in machine learning. The primary objective of this lesson is to design and implement a basic Stacking model using a diverse set of classifiers in Python. Stacking is an ensemble learning method that combines a series of predictions from various models, known as base models, to build a new model called the meta-model. The performance enhancements in the dataset stem from the final prediction made by this meta-model. We will delve into understanding stacking, train base models, craft a meta-model, implement them in Python, and finally touch on evaluating and understanding the concept of accuracy in this context.

Stacking is an ensemble learning method that ingeniously combines different models to refine the performance of the final predictive model. By leveraging a repertoire of diverse base models, Stacking enhances prediction accuracy by capturing disparate variations.

Base models serve as the building blocks of Stacking, with each model predicting target values independently. We begin our Python journey by loading the Iris dataset and splitting it into training and testing sets. For a more granular approach, the training set is further divided into segments to craft our base and meta-models.
