    Increasing or decreasing one results in changes to one or both of the other two. For example, a policy that increases access to health services would lower quality of health care and/or increase cost. The desired state of the triangle, high access and quality with low cost represents value in a health care system. [3]

    Misclassified input data gain a higher weight and examples that are classified correctly lose weight. [note 1] Thus, future weak learners focus more on the examples that previous weak learners misclassified. An illustration presenting the intuition behind the boosting algorithm, consisting of the parallel learners and weighted dataset
