""" ====================================== Decision Tree Regression with AdaBoost ====================================== A decision tree is boosted using the AdaBoost.R2 [1] algorithm on a 1D sinusoidal dataset with a small amount of Gaussian noise. 299 boosts (300 decision trees) is compared with a single decision tree regressor. As the number of boosts is increased the regressor can fit more detail. .. [1] H. Drucker, "Improving Regressors using Boosting Techniques", 1997.
