BT: (Adaptive) Boosting Trees Algorithm

Performs (Adaptive) Boosting Trees for Poisson distributed response variables, using log-link function. The code approach is similar to the one used in 'gbm'/'gbm3'. Moreover, each tree in the expansion is built thanks to the 'rpart' package. This package is based on following books and articles Denuit, M., Hainaut, D., Trufin, J. (2019) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-25820-7> Denuit, M., Hainaut, D., Trufin, J. (2019) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-57556-4> Denuit, M., Hainaut, D., Trufin, J.
