Foundations of Machine Learning, part 3

This post is the seventh one of our series on the history and foundations of econometric and machine learning models. The first fours were on econometrics techniques. Part 6 is online here. Boosting and sequential learning As we have seen before, modelling here is based on solving an optimization problem, and solving the problem described by equation [latex](6) [/latex] is all the more complex because the functional space [latex]\mathcal{M}[/latex] is large. The idea of boosting, as introduce..
