-Description: Efficient implementation of component-wise gradient boosting.
+Description: Efficient implementation of component-wise gradient boosting
+  (Buehlmann, P., Hothorn, T. (2007) <doi:10.1214/07-STS242>).
   The package applies the boosting framework to statistical models, e.g.,
   general additive models using component-wise smoothing splines.
   Boosting these kinds of base components enables interpretation of the
-  model and enables (unbiased) model selection in high-dimensional feature spaces.
