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.
* [CORE] allow updating trees in an existing model
* [CORE] in refresh updater, allow keeping old leaf values and update stats only
* [R-package] xgb.train mod to allow updating trees in an existing model
* [R-package] added check for nrounds when is_update
* [CORE] merge parameter declaration changes; unify their code style
* [CORE] move the update-process trees initialization to Configure; rename default process_type to 'default'; fix the trees and trees_to_update sizes comparison check
* [R-package] unit tests for the update process type
* [DOC] documentation for process_type parameter; improved docs for updater, Gamma and Tweedie; added some parameter aliases; metrics indentation and some were non-documented
* fix my sloppy merge conflict resolutions
* [CORE] add a TreeProcessType enum
* whitespace fix
* fix cran check
* change required R version because of utils::globalVariables
* temporary commit, monotone not working
* fix test
* fix doc
* fix doc
* fix cran note and warning
* improve checks
* fix urls
* 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.
* Allow using learning_rates parameter when doing CV
- Create a new `callback_cv` method working when called from `xgb.cv()`
- Rename existing `callback` into `callback_train` and make it the default callback
- Get the logic out of the callbacks and place it into a common helper
* Add a learning_rates parameter to cv()
* lint
* remove caller explicit reference
* callback is aware of its calling context
* remove caller argument
* remove learning_rates param
* restore learning_rates for training, but deprecated
* lint
* lint line too long
* quick example for predefined callbacks
In ecb3a271bed151252fb048528ce5a90ad75bb68f 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.
* add back train method but mark as deprecated
* fix scalastyle error
* change class to object in examples
* fix compilation error
* update methods in test cases to be consistent
* add blank lines
* fix
On Unix systems, it's common for programs to read their input from stdin, and
write their output to stdout. Messages should be written to stderr, where they
won't corrupt a program's output, and where they can be seen by the user even
if the output is being redirected.
This is mostly a problem when XGBoost is being used from Python or from another
program.
