R help - Jul 2009 - gbm package: relationship between interaction.depth and number of features?

Hello. I'm currently stuck with the same "what does interaction.depth
really
mean" stuff. Did you find out what the right answer is?

 

Best regards,

Boris Yangel.

I stand to be corrected, but I think it is one fewer than the number
of leaves in the final tree.  Stumps will have and interaction.depth
of 1 (and have two leaves).  Adding 1 to it will give three leaves.
