The GetWeight is a wrapper which sets the correct weight
if the weights vector is not provided. Hence accessing the default
weights vector is not recommended.
Update the code coverage of the project on codecov for easy viewing.
Also the gcov on travis uses a different version which cannot
find the directory of the given files, and it needs to be specified
in the -o flag. Hence now we loop over the list of files and
run them independently.
* Fix various typos
* Add override to functions that are overridden
gcc gives warnings about functions that are being overridden by not
being marked as oveirridden. This fixes it.
* Use bst_float consistently
Use bst_float for all the variables that involve weight,
leaf value, gradient, hessian, gain, loss_chg, predictions,
base_margin, feature values.
In some cases, when due to additions and so on the value can
take a larger value, double is used.
This ensures that type conversions are minimal and reduces loss of
precision.
In some cases, users may not want to have any global replica of
the data being broadcasted/all-reduced. In such cases, set the
result_buffer_round to -1 as a flag that this is not necessary
and check for it.
In ecb3a271be the silent argument
in XGDMatrixCreateFromFile of c_api.cc was always overridden to
be false. This disabled the functionality to hide log messages.
This commit reverts that part to enable the hiding of log messages.
* Fix typos and messages in docs
* parameter.md: Add docs for updater_seq
Mention the updater_seq parameter which sets the order of the tree
updaters to run and also specifies which ones to run. This can be
useful when pruning is not required or even a custom plugin is
being built along with xgboost.
* Add format to the params accepted by DumpModel
Currently, only the test format is supported when trying to dump
a model. The plan is to add more such formats like JSON which are
easy to read and/or parse by machines. And to make the interface
for this even more generic to allow other formats to be added.
Hence, we make some modifications to make these function generic
and accept a new parameter "format" which signifies the format of
the dump to be created.
* Fix typos and errors in docs
* plugin: Mention all the register macros available
Document the register macros currently available to the plugin
writers so they know what exactly can be extended using hooks.
* sparce_page_source: Use same arg name in .h and .cc
* gbm: Add JSON dump
The dump_format argument can be used to specify what type
of dump file should be created. Add functionality to dump
gblinear and gbtree into a JSON file.
The JSON file has an array, each item is a JSON object for the tree.
For gblinear:
- The item is the bias and weights vectors
For gbtree:
- The item is the root node. The root node has a attribute "children"
which holds the children nodes. This happens recursively.
* core.py: Add arg dump_format for get_dump()
