Claim One:
1. A method for translating a boosting algorithm, comprising: receiving, at a hardware interface, a trained boosting model; identifying, using a processor communicatively coupled to the interface, a plurality of one-level, binary split-node variables associated with the trained boosting model, wherein each of the plurality of one-level, binary split-node variables comprises a variable name, a cutoff point, and a weight; identifying, using the microprocessor, a group of one-level, binary split-node variables that have the same variable name and cutoff point within the plurality of one-level, binary split-node variables; combining, using the processor, the weights of each of the one-level, binary split-node in the group of one-level, binary split-node variables to calculate a combined weight for the one-level, binary split-node variables in the group of one-level, binary split-node variables, wherein combining the weights comprises summing the weights of the one-level, binary split-node variables in the group of one-level, binary split-node variables; and creating, using the processor, a linear model based on the variable name, the cutoff point, and the combined weight.
