TreeBoost - Stochastic Gradient Boosting
TreeBoost - Stochastic Gradient Boosting.
"Boosting" is a technique for improving the accuracy of a predictive
function by applying the function repeatedly in a series and combining
the output of each function with weighting so that the total error of
the prediction is minimized. In many cases, the predictive accuracy of
such a series greatly exceeds the accuracy of the base function used
alone.
