This is an introductory document of using the \verb@xgboost@ package in R.
\verb@xgboost@ is short for eXtreme Gradient Boosting package. It is an efficient
and scalable implementation of gradient boosting framework by \citep{friedman2001greedy} \citep{friedman2000additive}.
and scalable implementation of gradient boosting framework by \citep{friedman2001greedy} \citep{friedman2000additive}.
The package includes efficient linear model solver and tree learning algorithm.
It supports various objective functions, including regression, classification
and ranking. The package is made to be extendible, so that users are also allowed to define their own objectives easily. It has several features:

We have made a demo for \href{http://www.kaggle.com/c/higgs-boson}{the Higgs

Here are the instructions to make a submission
\begin{enumerate}
\item Download the \href{http://www.kaggle.com/c/higgs-boson/data}{datasets}
and extract them to \verb@data/@.
\item Run scripts under \verb@xgboost/demo/kaggle-higgs/@:
\href{https://github.com/tqchen/xgboost/blob/master/demo/kaggle-higgs/higgs-train.R}{higgs-train.R}
and \href{https://github.com/tqchen/xgboost/blob/master/demo/kaggle-higgs/higgs-pred.R}{higgs-pred.R}.
The computation will take less than a minute on Intel i7.

\verb@xgboost@ can automatically do parallel computation. On a machine with Intel
i7-4700MQ and 24GB memories, we found that \verb@xgboost@ costs about 35 seconds, which is about 20 times faster
than \verb@gbm@. When we limited \verb@xgboost@ to use only one thread, it was
still about two times faster than \verb@gbm@.
