Summary
In this chapter, we discovered statistical boosting, first providing an explanation of the key concepts used in statistics relevant to the topic of boosting, thus helping to define boosting itself.
We also contemplated the notion of using statistical boosting to better understand data in just about every database.
In the next chapter, will again strive to use developer terminologies, this time in an effort to define a support vector machine, identify various applications for its use, and walk through an example of using a simple SVM to classify the data in a database.
