Dear Jeff Newmiller,

I apologize if then I did not clarify what I am looking properly. I used
the combination you suggested in the query but I did not see any of the
resultings adressing what I asked in my title: Rusboost implemented over
AdaBoost.M2. Searching for the words 'rusboost', 'smoteboost', 'multiclass
classification *imbalance*', 'adaboost.m2' did not yield any result.

My question is not really theoretical, I am not asking what is any of those
algorithms. They are known and have been published already. I just found it
strange that I couldn't find any of those coded in R. I was hoping that,
perhaps, some other naming convention could have been used in R to address
this problem.

I hope I made myself more clear now.

Thank you,

Carlos Andrade
