NOTE: Gradient boost uses Regression Trees, which are explained in this StatQuest: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mW2XmJiNhdzSipc.html Corrections: 4:27 The sum on the left hand side should be in parentheses to make it clear that the entire sum is multiplied by 1/2, not just the first term. 15:47. It should be R_jm, not R_ij. 16:18, the leaf in the script is R_1,2 and it should be R_2,1. 21:08. With regression trees, the sample will only go to a single leaf, and this summation simply isolates the one output value of interest from all of the others. However, when I first made this video I was thinking that because Gradient Boost is supposed to work with any "weak learner", not just small regression trees, that this summation was a way to add flexibility to the algorithm. 24:15, the header for the residual column should be r_i,2.

Hi, the video is great and gives a detailed insight of the algorithm, so thanks for your work. I have a note on min. 15.47. I think the way the output gamma is defined has the wrong indeces in the summation. To my understanding, for gamma_jm you don't want to sum over R_ij but over all the x_i which belong to R_jm, the same terminal region. Otherwise, if you sum over x_i belonging to R_ij you are jumping from one terminal region to another, while you want R_jm to be fixed and just pick up the different x_i in there. Hope I managed to explain myself. Cheers.

@@statquest Hi, I still wonder why there is the similarity between gradient descent and gradient boost regarding trees. Apparently, there is no Partial Derivative by a Parameter in gradient boost. Simply as a decision tree has no model intern parameters in contrast to a Regression model, where it is obvious, that the betas have to be iterarively tweaked in order to lower the applied loss function. It would be great if you could help me out there :)

It took some time but I think I was able to figure out how (or why) this works? We basically just make a base prediction, and then compute a step (the pseudo-residual) in the direction of the actual value. Then we model these steps with a decision tree, and use that model to slowly improve upon our previous prediction, and just do this over and over. Great Video. Very Intuitive.

Thank you for this beautiful video. One suggestion I would love to make is that, it felt like the initial explanation of why the residuals are called pseudo residuals was that to differentiate it from linear regression. However, the video goes on to explain that it is called pseudo residuals because the residuals are not always (Observed - Predicted) and can be a multiple of that as well depending upon the choice of the loss function. Maybe, the initial explanation could have been avoided in order to prevent confusion! Thanks as always, these videos are the best!! :D
