An implementation of extensions to Freund and Schapire's AdaBoost
algorithm and Friedman's gradient boosting machine. Includes regression
methods for least squares, absolute loss, t-distribution loss, quantile
regression, logistic, multinomial logistic, Poisson, Cox proportional hazards
partial likelihood, AdaBoost exponential loss, Huberized hinge loss, and
Learning to Rank measures (LambdaMart). Originally developed by Greg Ridgeway.
