Abstract: This paper studies the greedy ensemble selection algorithm for ensembles of regression models. We explore two interesting parameters of this algorithm: a) the direction of search (forward, backward), and b) the performance evaluation dataset (training set, validation set) on a large ensemble (200 models) of neural networks and support vector machines. Experimental comparison of the different parameters are performed on an application domain with important social and commercial value: water quality monitoring. In specific we experiment on real data collected from an underwater sensor system.
