dear members,
                         I am using caret and caretEnsemble packages for my 
research involving machine learning.

This link https://topepo.github.io/caret/train-models-by-tag.html#boosting 
indicates the various boosting algorithms available in the caret package. 
However, I know that boosting algorithms need to have base learners specified. 
I have no issues with adaboost.m1 algorithm which takes as a base learner 
Decision Trees. But what about the other algorithms? How do you specify the 
base learners for the algorithms? The page in the link speaks loosely of 
"Ensembles" relating to the boosting algorithms, but it doesn't specify how to 
pass them as arguments for the boosting algorithms in caret. What's going on? 
For example, I need a boosting algorithm with SVM. How do you effect it with 
caret or caretEnsemble?

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
