[R] Boosting, bagging and bumping. Questions about R tools and predictions.

[Mulholland, Tom]

http://www.boosting.org/publications.html I found some of the papers on
this page useful in understanding the concepts you refer to. I will
leave it to the better informed members of the group to talk about the
packages that relate to this field.

Subject: [R] Boosting,bagging and bumping. Questions about R tools and
predictions.



I'm interested in further understanding the differences in using many
classification trees to improve classification rates. I'm also
interested in finding out what I can do in R and which methods will
allow prediction. Can anybody point me to a citation or discussion?
