Overview

About

Maintained by Daniel Schalk1 releasesCRAN page ↗

C++ implementation of component-wise boosting implementation of component-wise boosting written in C++ to obtain high runtime performance and full memory control. The main idea is to provide a modular class system which can be extended without editing the source code. Therefore, it is possible to use R functions as well as C++ functions for custom base-learners, losses, logging mechanisms or stopping criteria.

Install

R (source archive)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/compboost/compboost_0.1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "compboost_0.1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-compboost

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
