Usage: |
Classification tasks, regression and other modelling. |
Input: |
Training data consisting of entities expressed as
attribute-value pairs, with a class associated with each entity. |
Output: |
An ensemble of models which are to be deployed together with
their decisions being combined to give a joint decision. |
Complexity: |
Depends on complexity of the weak learner employed, but
generally the weak learner is quite simple (e.g., OneR or Decision
Stumps) hence scalability is generally good. |
Availability: |
Freely available in Weka (See Chapter ) and in R
(See Chapter ). Commercial data mining toolkits implementing
AdaBoost include TreeNet (See Chapter ), Statistica
(See Chapter ), and Virtual Predict
