// A fast minimal implementation of Gradient-Boosted Regression Trees   //
// which has been especially optimized for size on disk and in memory.  //

// Designed to be built from TMVA-trained trees, but could also be      //
// generalized to otherwise-trained trees, classification,              //
//  or other boosting methods in the future                             //
