 XGBoost: eXtreme Gradient Boosting 
 ==================================
 An optimized general purpose gradient boosting library. The library is parallelized, and also provides an optimized distributed version.
-It implements machine learning algorithm under gradient boosting framework, including generalized linear model and gradient boosted regression tree (GBDT). XGBoost can also also distributed and scale to even larger data.
