Initial potential #27

Open rodrigoazs opened 5 years ago

rodrigoazs commented 5 years ago

Hello,

It was mentioned, in paper Gradient-based boosting for statistical relational learning: The relational dependency network case, that the initial potential had to be set to -1.8 in order to capture the uniform distribution. Where does this value -1.8 come from?

Thank you.
