An Aggregation Model is a statistical model that combines multiple inputs into unified outputs through mathematical frameworks handling heterogeneous sources and uncertainty.
- AKA: Combination Model, Fusion Model, Ensemble Model, Integration Model.
- Context:
- It can typically weight Input Contributions based on reliability measures.
- It can typically handle Missing Values through imputation strategys.
- It can often improve Prediction Accuracy over individual models.
- It can often provide Uncertainty Estimates for aggregated results.
- It can support Consensus Building from diverse sources.
- It can enable Robust Predictions reducing individual bias.
- It can facilitate Multi-Criteria Decision combining different aspects.
- It can integrate with Machine Learning Pipelines for model ensembles.
- It can range from being a Linear Aggregation Model to being a Non-Linear Aggregation Model, depending on its combination function.
- It can range from being a Weighted Aggregation Model to being an Unweighted Aggregation Model, depending on its weighting scheme.
- It can range from being a Static Aggregation Model to being a Dynamic Aggregation Model, depending on its adaptation capability.
- It can range from being a Homogeneous Aggregation Model to being a Heterogeneous Aggregation Model, depending on its input type.

- Examples:
- Voting-Based Models, such as:
- Statistical Aggregation Models, such as:
- Preference-Based Models, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Examples:
- Single-Source Model, which uses one input.
- Selection Model, which chooses rather than combines.
- Independent Model, which avoids aggregation.
