Abstract The enclosed project contains the results of the research, analysis and testing of a Modified Boosting Algorithm to be used by a configuration of learning machines in order to perform regression. The algorithm is used to construct a set of "weak learners", whose individual performance is only slightly better than 50%, but whose ensemble performance is better than any one regression machine. The intent is to develop the algorithm and to demonstrate that it performs as well, if...
