Function approximation in Mahout?

Hello,
Does Mahout support any function approximation frameworks, such as greedy
function approximation with gradient boosting (TreeNet)?

Thanks!

Mahout does not have a lot of regression capabilities at this time, other
than various forms of binomial regression (SVM, logistic regression,
decision forests) but other forms of regression are relatively lacking.

Commons math has some capabilities, but not in a particularly scalable form.

What size is your problem?
