Then it averages the individual predictions to form a final prediction. We will use three different regressors to predict the data: :class:`~ensemble.GradientBoostingRegressor`, :class:`~ensemble.RandomForestRegressor`, and :class:`~linear_model.LinearRegression`). Then the above 3 regressors will be used for the :class:`~ensemble.VotingRegressor`. Finally, we will plot the predictions made by all models for comparison. We will work with the diabetes dataset which consists of 10 features collected from a cohort of diabetes patients. The target is a quantitative measure of disease progression one year after baseline. ..
