Stacking Model for Optimizing Subjective Well-Being Predictions Based on the CGSS Database

Subjective Well-Being (SWB) is an important indicator reflecting the satisfaction of residents’ lives and social welfare. As a prevalent technique, machine learning is playing a more significant role in various domains. However, few studies have used machine learning techniques to study SWB. This pa...

description Subjective Well-Being (SWB) is an important indicator reflecting the satisfaction of residents’ lives and social welfare. As a prevalent technique, machine learning is playing a more significant role in various domains. However, few studies have used machine learning techniques to study SWB. This paper puts forward a stacking model based on ANN, XGBoost, LR, CatBoost, and LightGBM to predict the SWB of Chinese residents, using the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) datasets from 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017.

The results also show some common features that have contributed to SWB in different years. The methods used in this study are effective and the results provide support for making society more harmonious.
