<p>As stated above and seen in many of the examples discussed here about
a single decision tree, we often end up overfitting our training
data. This normally means that we have a high variance. Can we reduce
the variance of a statistical learning method?
</p>
<p>This leads us to a set of different methods that can combine different
machine learning algorithms or just use one of them to construct
forests and jungles of trees, homogeneous ones or heterogenous
ones. These methods are recognized by different names which we will
try to explain here. These are
