Bug#805395: predict.gbm() using single.tree=TRUE does not return the correct predictions with multinomial distribution

[Andreas Tille]

Hello Harry,

the R packaging team is maintaining gbm in Debian.  A user has filed a
bug report against version 2.1.1 which I would like to bring to your
attention.  Please have a look here where the problem is explicitly
described:

    https://bugs.debian.org/805395

Could you please comment on this?  I admit I do not fully understand
what exactly is incorrect here and what to expect.  May be some test
case would help to confirm the integrity of the code.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
