Learning Task Parameters
------------------------
Specify the learning task and the corresponding learning objective. The objective options are below:
* objective [ default=reg:linear ]
* objective [default=reg:linear]
- "reg:linear" --linear regression
- "reg:logistic" --logistic regression
- "binary:logistic" --logistic regression for binary classification, output probability

- "rank:pairwise" --set XGBoost to do ranking task by minimizing the pairwise loss
- "reg:gamma" --gamma regression with log-link. Output is a mean of gamma distribution. It might be useful, e.g., for modeling insurance claims severity, or for any outcome that might be [gamma-distributed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_distribution#Applications)
- "reg:tweedie" --Tweedie regression with log-link. It might be useful, e.g., for modeling total loss in insurance, or for any outcome that might be [Tweedie-distributed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweedie_distribution#Applications).
* base_score [ default=0.5 ]
* base_score [default=0.5]
- the initial prediction score of all instances, global bias
- for sufficient number of iterations, changing this value will not have too much effect.
* eval_metric [ default according to objective ]
* eval_metric [default according to objective]
- evaluation metrics for validation data, a default metric will be assigned according to objective (rmse for regression, and error for classification, mean average precision for ranking )
- User can add multiple evaluation metrics, for python user, remember to pass the metrics in as list of parameters pairs instead of map, so that latter 'eval_metric' won't override previous one
- The choices are listed below:

Command Line Parameters
-----------------------
The following parameters are only used in the console version of xgboost
* use_buffer [ default=1 ]
* use_buffer [default=1]
- Whether to create a binary buffer from text input. Doing so normally will speed up loading times
* num_round
- The number of rounds for boosting
