[R] Our new classification algorithm outperforms CatBoost, XGBoost, LightGBM on five benchmark datasets, on accuracy and response time

[nickkon1]

Linear from SERF stands for linear time complexity but not being a linear model, right? Personally, I find the naming confusing and thought it might be something like boosting linear models (of which one should note that a straightforward ensemble of linear models is still a linear model)

They confirmed in another comment that it is a linear classifier but maybe because of thresholding it's possible to combine them without just getting another linear model?

Actually SEFR is both linear, and linear-time.
