Boosting : foundations and algorithms /

A remarkably rich theory has evolved around boosting, with connections to a range of topics including statistics, game theory, convex optimization, and information geometry. Boosting algorithms have also enjoyed practical success in such fields as biology, vision, and speech processing. At various t...
