              Auctions are becoming an increasingly popular method for
              transacting business, especially over the Internet.
              This article presents a general approach to building
              autonomous bidding agents to bid in multiple
              simultaneous auctions for interacting goods.  A core
              component of our approach learns a model of the
              empirical price dynamics based on past data and uses the
              model to analytically calculate, to the greatest extent
              possible, optimal bids.  We introduce a new and general
              boosting-based algorithm for conditional density
              estimation problems of this kind, i.e., supervised
              learning problems in which the goal is to estimate the
              entire conditional distribution of the real-valued
              label.  This approach is fully implemented as ATTac, a
              top-scoring agent in the second Trading Agent
              Competition (TAC-01).  We present experiments
              demonstrating the effectiveness of our boosting-based
              price predictor relative to several reasonable
              alternatives.
