Q. Suppose, you want to apply a stepwise forward selection method for choosing the best models for an ensemble model. Which of the following is the correct order of the steps?
Note: You have more than 1000 models predictions
1. Add the models predictions (or in another term take the average) one by one in the ensemble which improves the metrics in the validation set.
2. Start with empty ensemble
3. Return the ensemble from the nested set of ensembles that has maximum performance on the validation set
