It is shown, using a Monte Carlo simulation of $WH \to lνq\bar{q}$ events that boosted decision trees outperform feed-forward neural networks. The results show that for a b-tagging efficiency of 60% the light jet rejection given by boosted decision trees is about 35% higher than that given by neural networks.12 pages, 13 figuresData Analysis, Statistics and ProbabilityHigh Energy Physics - Experimenttext
