-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 23 July 2003 8:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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? _________________________________________________ Tom Mulholland Senior Policy Officer WA Country Health Service 189 Royal St, East Perth, WA, 6004 Tel: (08) 9222 4062 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The contents of this e-mail transmission are confidential an...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
