An ensemble-based regression model for perceived stress prediction using relevant personality traits / Chang Hon Fey

This study compared various machine learning methods to develop an accurate predictive system to predict perceived stress in regression problem with relevant personality traits. The machine learning methods that were identified and being compared including the single regression models (Multiple L...
