A new perspective on boosting in linear regression via subgradient optimization and relatives

We analyze boosting algorithms [Ann. Statist. 29 (2001) 1189–1232; Ann. Statist. 28 (2000) 337–407; Ann. Statist. 32 (2004) 407–499] in linear regression from a new perspective: that of modern first-order methods in convex optimiz ation. We show that classic boosting algorithms in linear regression,...
