Description

As far as I can tell, the loss parameter is only exposed for single trees. I think this would be pretty easy to add to the ensemble models.

Issue raised at #211.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #211 and tracing how the loss parameter is exposed for single trees. Compare the random-forest and AdaBoost entry points, then verify that both ensemble models accept and use the requested loss consistently.
