public class GBTClassifier
extends ProbabilisticClassifier<Vector,GBTClassifier,GBTClassificationModel>
implements DefaultParamsWritable, Logging

Gradient-Boosted Trees (GBTs) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_boosting) learning algorithm for classification. It supports binary labels, as well as both continuous and categorical features.

The implementation is based upon: J.H. Friedman. "Stochastic Gradient Boosting." 1999.

Notes on Gradient Boosting vs. TreeBoost: - This implementation is for Stochastic Gradient Boosting, not for TreeBoost. - Both algorithms learn tree ensembles by minimizing loss functions. - TreeBoost (Friedman, 1999) additionally modifies the outputs at tree leaf nodes based on the loss function, whereas the original gradient boosting method does not. - We expect to implement TreeBoost in the future: [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4240]
