uBoost: a boosting method for producing uniform selection efficiencies from multivariate classifiers

The use of multivariate classifiers, especially neural networks and decision trees, has become commonplace in particle physics. Typically, a series of classifiers is trained rather than just one to enhance the performance; this is known as boosting. This paper presents a novel method of boosting tha...
