class GradientBoostedTrees extends Serializable with Logging
A class that implements Stochastic Gradient Boosting for regression and binary classification.
The implementation is based upon: J.H. Friedman. "Stochastic Gradient Boosting." 1999.
Notes on Gradient Boosting vs. TreeBoost:
- This implementation is for Stochastic Gradient Boosting, not for TreeBoost.
 - Both algorithms learn tree ensembles by minimizing loss functions.
 - TreeBoost (Friedman, 1999) additionally modifies the outputs at tree leaf nodes
   based on the loss function, whereas the original gradient boosting method does not.
- When the loss is SquaredError, these methods give the same result, but they could differ for other loss functions.
