Bagging, short for bootstrap aggregating, is a popular ensemble method in machine learning. It involves training multiple models, often decision trees, on different subsets of the training data and then combining their predictions to improve the overall performance and reduce variance. Random Forest is an example of bagging, which further improves model performance by merging outputs of multiple decision trees.
