Summary

The relationship between the predictions made by different learning algorithms and true posterior probabilities is examined, showing that maximum margin methods such as boosted trees and boosted stumps push probability mass away from 0 and 1 yielding a characteristic sigmoid shaped distortion in the predicted probabilities.
