A first attempt with mlxtend
It's time to start working with mlxtend! You'll continue using the app ratings dataset. As you have already built a stacked ensemble model using scikit-learn, you have a basis to compare with the model you'll now build with mlxtend.
The dataset is loaded and available to you as apps.
Let's see if mlxtend can build a model as good as or better than the scikit-learn ensemble classifier.

Ensemble Methods in Python
Instructions
- Instantiate a decision tree classifier with min_samples_leaf = 3andmin_samples_split = 9.
- Instantiate a 5-nearest neighbors classifier using the 'ball_tree'algorithm.
- Build a StackingClassifierpassing: the list of classifiers, the meta classifier,use_probas=True(to use probabilities), anduse_features_in_secondary = False(to only use the individual predictions).
- Evaluate the performance by computing the accuracy score.
