LogitBoost

In machine learning and computational learning theory, LogitBoost is a boosting algorithm formulated by Jerome Friedman, Trevor Hastie, and Robert Tibshirani. The original paper casts the AdaBoost algorithm into a statistical framework.[1] Specifically, if one considers AdaBoost as a generalized additive model and then applies the cost function of logistic regression, one can derive the LogitBoost algorithm.

Minimizing the LogitBoost cost function

LogitBoost can be seen as a convex optimization. Specifically, given that we seek an additive model of the form

the LogitBoost algorithm minimizes the logistic loss:

gollark: Well, not *very*.
gollark: Aeons are very rare.
gollark: Stupid egg won't hatch: https://dragcave.net/view/6ECxF
gollark: Surprisingly few of them become dead/zombies/vampires.
gollark: It also produces loads of shards.
