* Fix#3397: early_stop callback does not maximize metric of form NDCG@n-
Early stopping callback makes splits with '-' letter, which interferes
with metrics of form NDCG@n-. As a result, XGBoost tries to minimize
NDCG@n-, where it should be maximized instead.
Fix. Specify maxsplit=1.
* Python 2.x compatibility fix
* Add scikit-learn tests
Goal is to pass scikit-learn's check_estimator() for XGBClassifier,
XGBRegressor, and XGBRanker. It is actually not possible to do so
entirely, since check_estimator() assumes that NaN is disallowed,
but XGBoost allows for NaN as missing values. However, it is always
good ideas to add some checks inspired by check_estimator().
* Fix lint
* Fix lint
* add interaction constraints
* enable both interaction and monotonic constraints at the same time
* fix lint
* add R test, fix lint, update demo
* Use dmlc::JSONReader to express interaction constraints as nested lists; Use sparse arrays for bookkeeping
* Add Python test for interaction constraints
* make R interaction constraints parameter based on feature index instead of column names, fix R coding style
* Fix lint
* Add BlueTea88 to CONTRIBUTORS.md
* Short circuit when no constraint is specified; address review comments
* Add tutorial for feature interaction constraints
* allow interaction constraints to be passed as string, remove redundant column_names argument
* Fix typo
* Address review comments
* Add comments to Python test
- previously, vec_ in DeviceShard wasn't updated on copy; as a result,
the shards continued to refer to the old HostDeviceVectorImpl object,
which resulted in a dangling pointer once that object was deallocated
* Fix#3648: XGBClassifier.predict() should return margin scores when output_margin=True
* Fix tests to reflect correct implementation of XGBClassifier.predict(output_margin=True)
* Fix flaky test test_with_sklearn.test_sklearn_api_gblinear
* 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()
