adaboostAggregator: Aggregator for the Adaboost.M1 algorithm

Description

Implements a (parallelized) version of the aggregator described in the Adaboost.M1 algorithm.

Usage

adaboostAggregator(estimators, alpha, ..., .parallelPredict = FALSE)

Arguments

estimators

a list of estimators which must produce output in the same response-space. This is usually the output of some reweighter function.

...

this does nothing -- meant to swallow auxillary output from reweighter function.

.parallelPredict

a boolean indicating if prediction should be carried out in parallel.

alpha

a vector (or list) of length equal to the length of estimators. Each entry of alpha acts as a prediction weight for the corresponding estimator.

Value

a function whose sole argument is newdata and whose output is the aggregated predictions of the boosted ensemble, estimators.For internal bookkeeping, this function is inherits from the 'aggregator' class.
