title: Ensemble classifiers (Random Forest, Bagging, Boosting, etc.) in SSAS
body: <p>I am using SSAS (SQL Server 2008 R2) to develop a classification model for a data set where 80% of values are missing. Ensemble classifiers based on trees are supposedly the best solution (Random Forest for example).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any nice way of adding an ensemble classifier into SSAS? For example an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdaBoost" rel="nofollow">AdaBoost</a> or any other Bagging or Boosting classifier?</p>
  
  <p>I know SSAS provides plug-in functionality, but I have not come across anyone doing any ensemble solutions... Not to mention anything that you can just download and start using.</p>
  
  <p>If not, is there any efficient method to connect various classifiers in SSAS? I hope I am missing something obvious that is there.</p>
