I've asked about additive logistic regression, an analog of neural nets and
R/C trees (see recent articles by Jerome Friedman, Breiman's colleague, for
details).  You can do additive logistic regressions in SAS.  Sig

Hi,

Recently a discussion in an Splus group was about the terms mentioned in
the subject of this email. Leo Breiman of Berkeley, California, has some
relatively recent articles for these problems. Are these methods
included in the SAS software, or there is any software in the
development? Is there anybody that is applying these methods in
optimizing predictors for neural nets, classification and regression
trees in SAS?

TIA,
Aldi
