About coBC and coBCG

[wnarifin]

Thank you for the package, I find it very useful.

As for the latest version, I'd like to clarify about coBC and coBCG functions, do these implement co-bagging by Hady M, Schwenker F (2008)? Because in the R documentation, the reference is Blum A, Mitchell T (1998), while in the detailed documentation here https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ssc/vignettes/ssc.pdf, it seems to suggest that co-bagging by Hady M, Schwenker F (2008) is implemented in for the functions. So, I would like to clarify whether co-bagging was implemented instead of the basic Blum A, Mitchell T (1998).

Thank you.

Hi,

The paper that better describes the coBC implementation it is the one you mention Co-Training by Committee: A New Semi-Supervised Learning Framework by Hady M, Schwenker F (2008). It differs from the traditional co-training in the use of a set of classifiers not limited to two as in co-training. Other difference it is the way the method initialize the training, the implemented function use bagging.

Thanks for your interest!
