+class PerItemGreedyEnsemble(AbstractTimeSeriesEnsembleModel):
+    """Per-item greedy ensemble that fits separate weighted ensembles for each individual time series.
+
+    This ensemble applies the greedy Ensemble Selection algorithm by Caruana et al. [Car2004]_ independently
+    to each time series in the dataset, allowing for customized model combinations that adapt to the
+    specific characteristics of individual series. Each time series gets its own optimal ensemble weights
+    based on predictions for that particular series. If items not seen during training are provided at prediction
+    time, average model weight across the training items will be used for their predictions.
+
+    The per-item approach is particularly effective for datasets with heterogeneous time series that
+    exhibit different patterns, seasonalities, or noise characteristics.
+
+    The algorithm uses parallel processing to efficiently fit ensembles across all time series.
+
+    Other Parameters
