On Weak Base Hypotheses and Their Implications for Boosting Regression and Classification

When studying the training error and the prediction error for boosting, it is often assumed that the hypotheses returned by the base learner are weakly accurate, or are able to beat a random guesser by a certain amount of difference. It has been an open question how much this difference can be, whet...
