Description: Functional gradient descent algorithm (boosting) for
        optimizing general risk functions utilizing component-wise
        (penalised) least squares estimates or regression trees as
        base-learners for fitting generalized linear, additive and
        interaction models to potentially high-dimensional data. Models
        and algorithms are described in <doi:10.1214/07-STS242>, a
        hands-on tutorial is available from
        <doi:10.1007/s00180-012-0382-5>. The package allows
        user-specified loss functions and base-learners.
