Abstract

The paper compares two advanced boosting techniques, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Gaussian Process Boosting (GPBoost), for spatial logistic regression models using satellite data. It highlights the limitations of XGBoost in handling autocorrelated data typical in spatial statistics and demonstrates how GPBoost can incorporate a Gaussian process within a mixed-effects model to significantly reduce generalization error.
