Can machine-learning algorithms improve upon classical palaeoenvironmental reconstruction models? by P. Sun, P. B. Holden, H. J. B. Birks, H. J. B. Birks

“…To explore the relative merits of these two approaches, we have developed a two-layered machine-learning reconstruction model MEMLM (Multi Ensemble Machine Learning Model). The first layer applies three different ensemble machine-learning models (random forests, extra random trees, and LightGBM), trained on the modern taxon assemblage and associated environmental data to make reconstructions based on the three different models, while the second layer uses multiple linear regression to integrate these three reconstructions into a consensus reconstruction. …”
