...tering improves the predictions made by the model, so this is an issue worth pursuing for me. Below is output from running the exact same data in exactly the same way, only differing by whether the "center" bit is flipped or not: Output with center=TRUE: [(Intercept)] => -0.04543632 [painscore] => 0.007553608 [Offset] => -0.546520621809327 Output with center=FALSE: [(Intercept)] => -0.989742 [painscore] => 0.001342585 [Offset] => -0.546520621809327 The mean of painscore is 741. It seems to me that for center=FALSE, mboost should modify the intercept by subtracting 741*0...
