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.
