#' Generalized Boosted Regression Models (GBMs)
#' 
#' This package implements extensions to Freund and Schapire's AdaBoost
#' algorithm and J. Friedman's gradient boosting machine. Includes regression
#' methods for least squares, absolute loss, logistic, Poisson, Cox
#' proportional hazards partial likelihood, multinomial, t-distribution,
#' AdaBoost exponential loss, Learning to Rank, and Huberized hinge loss.
#' This gbm package is no longer under further development. Consider
#' https://github.com/gbm-developers/gbm3 for the latest version.
