Is there package for R to boost different algorithms? For example Random Forest and neural networks. As I understand, packages ada and gbm can only boost Decision Trees.

Thank you.

  • Thank you for your answer. According to manual `C50` can "Fit classification **tree models** or rule-based models using Quinlan’s C5.0 algorithm". I'm looking for algorithm which can use any weak predictor. – ElectricHedgehog Jun 05 '13 at 10:41
  • Do you mean `best` function from `caret` package? I'm not sure that it is boosting, it returns only one predictor. – ElectricHedgehog Jun 05 '13 at 10:43
