ada swMATH ID: 9505 Software Authors: George Michailides, Kjell Johnson, Mark Culp Description: ada: An R Package for Stochastic Boosting. Boosting is an iterative algorithm that combines simple classification rules with ”mediocre” performance in terms of misclassification error rate to produce a highly accurate classification rule. Stochastic gradient boosting provides an enhancement which incorporates a random mechanism at each boosting step showing an improvement in performance and speed in generating the ensemble. ada is an R package that implements three popular variants of boosting, together with a version of stochastic gradient boosting. In addition, useful plots for data analytic purposes are provided along with an extension to the multi-class case. The algorithms are illustrated with synthetic and real data sets.
