DM: Boosting in Data Mining Products

[Dan Steinberg]

" Silicon Graphics is the first major vendor to offer a commercial 
implementation of boosting"

Just wanted to point out that Salford Systems's decision tree 
CARTŪ (tm) has
included Bootstrap Aggregation (bagging) since September 1995 and 
ARCing
(Leo Breiman's version of boosting --Adaptive Resampling and 
Combining)
since April 1997 (on UNIX platforms).
