Using AdaBoost to Combine Classification Tree Models
R has several libraries that implement boosting where we combine many relatively inaccurate models to get a much more accurate model. The ada package provides boosting functionality on top of classification trees. - Load the package and read the data - Convert the outcome variable class to a factor - Generate predictions on the validation partition
