The plan for this week was to develop a decision tree a generic framework for gradient boosting and integrate regression and classification tree.

Day 1 and 2(Research Days):

• Studying the representation of categorical data in ECL
• Reformating the Gradient boosting interface to support categorical data
• Generated stub methods for Gradient Boosting for ordinal data.

Day 3:

•  Implement partitioning function for categorical data for regression

Day 4: 

• Complete implementation of the Regression Tree.
• Plugin to Gradient Boosting Framework

Day 5:

• Testing and verifying the framework.
