Description

Describe the issue linked to the documentation

The documentation on this page https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.AdaBoostClassifier.html

Describes the learning rate as "Learning rate shrinks the contribution of each classifier by learning_rate. There is a trade-off between learning_rate and n_estimators."

The wording of this description suggests that a higher learning rate = more shrinking of the contribution of each classifier by learning_rate.

Suggest a potential alternative/fix

The description would improve by replacing the word "shrinks," or by providing an example.

E.g.,
"Learning rate adjusts the contribution of each classifier..."
or
"Learning rate shrinks the contribution . . . where a higher learning rate increases the contribution of each each classifier"
