We generalize stacking to Bayesian hierarchical stacking. The model weights are varying as a function of data, partially-pooled, and inferred using Bayesian inference. ...
We show that stacking is most effective when model predictive performance is heterogeneous in inputs, and we can further improve the stacked mixture with a hierarchical model. ...
Rather than to compete with a mixture-of-experts on combining weak learners, hierarchical stacking is more recommended to combine a mixture-of-experts with other sophisticated models. ...
