Method home for mars3.6-bag-1

The Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) method was developed by Jerome Friedman. The bagging procedure is used in conjuction with MARS. A short description is available in hypertext and postscript format. For a more detailed description refer to the literature.

Software

Source code for doing bagging with MARS written in C by Mike Revow is available as a compressed tar file. Friedman's implementation in FORTRAN (version 3.6) is no longer freely distributed, and hence is no longer included in the DELVE archive.
