   - Control the balance of positive and negative weights, useful for unbalanced classes. A typical value to consider: sum(negative  cases) / sum(positive cases) See [Parameters Tuning](how_to/param_tuning.md) for more discussion. Also see Higgs Kaggle competition demo for examples: [R](../demo/kaggle-higgs/higgs-train.R ), [py1](../demo/kaggle-higgs/higgs-numpy.py ), [py2](../demo/kaggle-higgs/higgs-cv.py ), [py3](../demo/guide-python/cross_validation.py)
