Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-11730:
-------------------------------------------

I wrote that note since I did not have time to research what people do for 
GBTs.  I'd be Ok with matching sklearn's implementation, though it would be 
great if we could find academic work indicating a "right" way to handle GBTs.  
In particular, I am not sure if trees' contributions should be weighted 
differently (based on the learning process) or if they should just use the tree 
weights (resembling how prediction works).

> Random Forests have feature importance, but GBT do not. It would be great if 
> we can add feature importance to GBT as well. Perhaps the code in Random 
> Forests can be refactored to apply to both types of ensembles.
