What is online bagging and how does it work?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Online bagging adapts bagging to streaming data by incrementally updating models.
Deep explanation
Online bagging simulates bootstrap sampling in streaming environments using Poisson-distributed weights for incoming samples. Each base learner is updated incrementally using partial_fit methods. This allows ensembles to continuously learn from data streams without retraining from scratch. It is widely used in real-time analytics systems where data arrives continuously.
