This paper extends recent work on boosting random forests to model non-Gaussian responses. Given an exponential family $\mathbb{E}[Y|X] = g^{-1}(f(X))$ our goal is to obtain an estimate for $f$. We start with an MLE-type estimate in the…

Nonparametric estimation of the conditional distribution of a response given high-dimensional features is a challenging problem. It is important to allow not only the mean but also the variance and shape of the response density to change…

A random variable $Y_1$ is said to be smaller than $Y_2$ in the increasing concave stochastic order if $\mathbb{E}[\phi(Y_1)] \leq \mathbb{E}[\phi(Y_2)]$ for all increasing concave functions $\phi$ for which the expected values exist, and…
