+### Training Algorithm Details
+FastTree is an efficient implementation of the
+[MART](https://arxiv.org/abs/1505.01866) gradient boosting algorithm. Gradient
+boosting is a machine learning technique for regression problems. It builds each
+regression tree in a step-wise fashion, using a predefined loss function to
+measure the error for each step and corrects for it in the next. So this
+prediction model is actually an ensemble of weaker prediction models. In
+regression problems, boosting builds a series of such trees in a step-wise
+fashion and then selects the optimal tree using an arbitrary differentiable loss
+function.
+
+MART learns an ensemble of regression trees, which is a decision tree with
+scalar values in its leaves. A decision (or regression) tree is a binary
+tree-like flow chart, where at each interior node one decides which of the two
+child nodes to continue to based on one of the feature values from the input. At
+each leaf node, a value is returned. In the interior nodes, the decision is
+based on the test x <= v where x is the value of the feature in the input
+sample and v is one of the possible values of this feature. The functions that
+can be produced by a regression tree are all the piece-wise constant functions.
+
+The ensemble of trees is produced by computing, in each step, a regression tree
+that approximates the gradient of the loss function, and adding it to the
+previous tree with coefficients that minimize the loss of the new tree. The
+output of the ensemble produced by MART on a given instance is the sum of the
+tree outputs.
+
+* In case of a binary classification problem, the output is converted to a
+ probability by using some form of calibration.
+* In case of a regression problem, the output is the predicted value of the
+ function.
+* In case of a ranking problem, the instances are ordered by the output value of
+ the ensemble.

+boosting).](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_boosting#Gradient_tree_boosting)
