Model averaging techniques based on resampling methods (such as bootstrapping or subsampling) have been utilized across many areas of statistics, often with the explicit goal of promoting stability in the resulting output. We provide a general, finite-sample theoretical result guaranteeing the stability of bagging when applied to algorithms that return outputs in a general space, so that the output is not necessarily a real-valued -- for example, an algorithm that estimates a vector of weights or a density function. We empirically assess the stability of bagging on synthetic and real-world data for a range of problem settings, including causal inference, nonparametric regression, and Bayesian model selection.

    Feature bagging provably reduces feature instability relative to non-bagged learners, with larger gains under aggressive feature subsampling and modest ensemble size.

    stat.ML 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Inflated top-k and inflated full ranking provide assumption-free leave-one-out stability for ranking, with provably minimal ambiguity in the returned set.
