Description

Hi, I'm interested in a Julia implementation of Domingo's VFDT's aka "Hoeffding Trees", see, for example:

http://weka.sourceforge.net/doc.dev/weka/classifiers/trees/HoeffdingTree.html

This is a streaming algorithm for learning decision trees and might be very useful for modelling "big data" such as logs etc.

Are there any plans for implementing streaming algorithms within this package? If not do you think it is feasible on top of the infrastructure provided here, or would a clean/separate implementation/package be better?

Thanks for any input you might have.

Research direction

The issue proposes adding streaming VFDT/Hoeffding Tree algorithms to DecisionTree.jl but names no implementation files or tests. Start by reviewing the existing package infrastructure and the linked Hoeffding Tree reference; the work is not yet defined until the implementation location and package direction are decided.
