* Set output margin to True for custom objective in Python and R.
* Add a demo for writing multi-class custom objective function.
* Run tests on selected demos.
Move this function into gbtree, and uses only updater for doing so. As now the predictor knows exactly how many trees to predict, there's no need for it to update the prediction cache.
* Move prediction cache into Learner.
* Clean-ups
- Remove duplicated cache in Learner and GBM.
- Remove ad-hoc fix of invalid cache.
- Remove `PredictFromCache` in predictors.
- Remove prediction cache for linear altogether, as it's only moving the
prediction into training process but doesn't provide any actual overall speed
gain.
- The cache is now unique to Learner, which means the ownership is no longer
shared by any other components.
* Changes
- Add version to prediction cache.
- Use weak ptr to check expired DMatrix.
- Pass shared pointer instead of raw pointer.
* Simplify DropTrees calling logic
* Add `training` parameter for prediction method.
* [Breaking]: Add `training` to C API.
* Change for R and Python custom objective.
* Correct comment.

* Fix syncing DMatrix columns.
* notes for tree method.
* Enable feature validation for all interfaces except for jvm.
* Better tests for boosting from predictions.
* Disable validation on JVM.
* Pass pointer to model parameters.
This PR de-duplicates most of the model parameters except the one in
`tree_model.h`. One difficulty is `base_score` is a model property but can be
changed at runtime by objective function. Hence when performing model IO, we
need to save the one provided by users, instead of the one transformed by
objective. Here we created an immutable version of `LearnerModelParam` that
represents the value of model parameter after configuration.
This PR fixes tree weights in dart being ignored when computing contributions.
* Fix ellpack page source link.
* Add tree weights to compute contribution.
* Use `UpdateAllowUnknown' for non-model related parameter.
Model parameter can not pack an additional boolean value due to binary IO
format. This commit deals only with non-model related parameter configuration.
* Add tidy command line arg for use-dmlc-gtest.
* Move get transpose into cc.
* Clean up headers in host device vector, remove thrust dependency.
* Move span and host device vector into public.
* Install c++ headers.
* Short notes for c and c++.

* Restrict access to `cfg_` in gbm.
* Verify having correct updaters.
* Remove `grow_global_histmaker`
This updater is the same as `grow_histmaker`. The former is not in our
document so we just remove it.
* Refactor configuration [Part II].
* General changes:
** Remove `Init` methods to avoid ambiguity.
** Remove `Configure(std::map<>)` to avoid redundant copying and prepare for
parameter validation. (`std::vector` is returned from `InitAllowUnknown`).
** Add name to tree updaters for easier debugging.
* Learner changes:
** Make `LearnerImpl` the only source of configuration.
All configurations are stored and carried out by `LearnerImpl::Configure()`.
** Remove booster in C API.
Originally kept for "compatibility reason", but did not state why. So here
we just remove it.
** Add a `metric_names_` field in `LearnerImpl`.
** Remove `LazyInit`. Configuration will always be lazy.
** Run `Configure` before every iteration.
* Predictor changes:
** Allocate both cpu and gpu predictor.
** Remove cpu_predictor from gpu_predictor.
`GBTree` is now used to dispatch the predictor.
** Remove some GPU Predictor tests.
* IO
No IO changes. The binary model format stability is tested by comparing
hashing value of save models between two commits
This is part 1 of refactoring configuration.
* Move tree heuristic configurations.
* Split up declarations and definitions for GBTree.
* Implement UseGPU in gbm.
* Only define `gpu_id` and `n_gpus` in `LearnerTrainParam`
* Pass LearnerTrainParam through XGBoost vid factory method.
* Disable all GPU usage when GPU related parameters are not specified (fixes XGBoost choosing GPU over aggressively).
* Test learner train param io.
* Fix gpu pickling.
* Unify logging facilities.
* Enhance `ConsoleLogger` to handle different verbosity.
* Override macros from `dmlc`.
* Don't use specialized gamma when building with GPU.
* Remove verbosity cache in monitor.
* Test monitor.
* Deprecate `silent`.
* Fix doc and messages.
* Fix python test.
* Fix silent tests.
* Multi-GPU support in GPUPredictor.
- GPUPredictor is multi-GPU
- removed DeviceMatrix, as it has been made obsolete by using HostDeviceVector in DMatrix
* Replaced pointers with spans in GPUPredictor.
* Added a multi-GPU predictor test.
* Fix multi-gpu test.
* Fix n_rows < n_gpus.
* Reinitialize shards when GPUSet is changed.
* Tests range of data.
* Remove commented code.
* Remove commented code.
* DMatrix refactor 2
* Remove buffered rowset usage where possible
* Transition to c++11 style iterators for row access
* Transition column iterators to C++ 11
* Replaced std::vector with HostDeviceVector in MetaInfo and SparsePage.
- added distributions to HostDeviceVector
- using HostDeviceVector for labels, weights and base margings in MetaInfo
- using HostDeviceVector for offset and data in SparsePage
- other necessary refactoring
* Added const version of HostDeviceVector API calls.
- const versions added to calls that can trigger data transfers, e.g. DevicePointer()
- updated the code that uses HostDeviceVector
- objective functions now accept const HostDeviceVector<bst_float>& for predictions
* Updated src/linear/updater_gpu_coordinate.cu.
* Added read-only state for HostDeviceVector sync.
- this means no copies are performed if both host and devices access
the HostDeviceVector read-only
* Fixed linter and test errors.
- updated the lz4 plugin
- added ConstDeviceSpan to HostDeviceVector
- using device % dh::NVisibleDevices() for the physical device number,
e.g. in calls to cudaSetDevice()
* Fixed explicit template instantiation errors for HostDeviceVector.
- replaced HostDeviceVector<unsigned int> with HostDeviceVector<int>
* Fixed HostDeviceVector tests that require multiple GPUs.
- added a mock set device handler; when set, it is called instead of cudaSetDevice()
* Revert "Fix #3485, #3540: Don't use dropout for predicting test sets (#3556)"
This reverts commit 44811f233071c5805d70c287abd22b155b732727.
* Document behavior of predict() for DART booster
* Add notice to parameter.rst
* Use sparse page as singular CSR matrix representation
* Simplify dmatrix methods
* Reduce statefullness of batch iterators
* BREAKING CHANGE: Remove prob_buffer_row parameter. Users are instead recommended to sample their dataset as a preprocessing step before using XGBoost.
* Multi-GPU HostDeviceVector.
- HostDeviceVector instances can now span multiple devices, defined by GPUSet struct
- the interface of HostDeviceVector has been modified accordingly
- GPU objective functions are now multi-GPU
- GPU predicting from cache is now multi-GPU
- avoiding omp_set_num_threads() calls
- other minor changes
* Replaced std::vector-based interfaces with HostDeviceVector-based interfaces.
- replacement was performed in the learner, boosters, predictors,
updaters, and objective functions
- only interfaces used in training were replaced;
interfaces like PredictInstance() still use std::vector
- refactoring necessary for replacement of interfaces was also performed,
such as using HostDeviceVector in prediction cache
* HostDeviceVector-based interfaces for custom objective function example plugin.
* Add interaction effects and cox loss
* Minimize whitespace changes
* Cox loss now no longer needs a pre-sorted dataset.
* Address code review comments
* Remove mem check, rename to pred_interactions, include bias
* Make lint happy
* More lint fixes
* Fix cox loss indexing
* Fix main effects and tests
* Fix lint
* Use half interaction values on the off-diagonals
* Fix lint again
* Added GPU objective function and no-copy interface.
- xgboost::HostDeviceVector<T> syncs automatically between host and device
- no-copy interfaces have been added
- default implementations just sync the data to host
and call the implementations with std::vector
- GPU objective function, predictor, histogram updater process data
directly on GPU
