* 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

directly on GPU

* Add option to choose booster in scikit intreface: complete docstring.
* Fix XGBClassifier to work with booster option

* Add prediction of feature contributions
This implements the idea described at http://blog.datadive.net/interpreting-random-forests/
which tries to give insight in how a prediction is composed of its feature contributions
and a bias.
* Support multi-class models
* Calculate learning_rate per-tree instead of using the one from the first tree
* Do not rely on node.base_weight * learning_rate having the same value as the node mean value (aka leaf value, if it were a leaf); instead calculate them (lazily) on-the-fly
* Add simple test for contributions feature
* Check against param.num_nodes instead of checking for non-zero length
* Loop over all roots instead of only the first
* Bugfix 1: Fix segfault in multithreaded ApplySplitSparseData()
When there are more threads than rows in rowset, some threads end up
with empty ranges, causing them to crash. (iend - 1 needs to be
accessible as part of algorithm)
Fix: run only those threads with nonempty ranges.
* Add regression test for Bugfix 1
* Moving python_omp_test to existing python test group
Turns out you don't need to set "OMP_NUM_THREADS" to enable
multithreading. Just add nthread parameter.
* Bugfix 2: Fix corner case of ApplySplitSparseData() for categorical feature
When split value is less than all cut points, split_cond is set
incorrectly.
Fix: set split_cond = -1 to indicate this scenario
* Bugfix 3: Initialize data layout indicator before using it
data_layout_ is accessed before being set; this variable determines
whether feature 0 is included in feat_set.
Fix: re-order code in InitData() to initialize data_layout_ first
* Adding regression test for Bugfix 2
Unfortunately, no regression test for Bugfix 3, as there is no
way to deterministically assign value to an uninitialized variable.
* Add UpdatePredictionCache() option to updaters
Some updaters (e.g. fast_hist) has enough information to quickly compute
prediction cache for the training data. Each updater may override
UpdaterPredictionCache() method to update the prediction cache. Note: this
trick does not apply to validation data.
* Respond to code review
* Disable some debug messages by default
* Document UpdatePredictionCache() interface
* Remove base_margin logic from UpdatePredictionCache() implementation
* Do not take pointer to cfg, as reference may get stale
* Improve multi-threaded performance
* Use columnwise accessor to accelerate ApplySplit() step,
with support for a compressed representation
* Parallel sort for evaluation step
* Inline BuildHist() function
* Cache gradient pairs when building histograms in BuildHist()
* Add missing #if macro
* Respond to code review
* Use wrapper to enable parallel sort on Linux
* Fix C++ compatibility issues
* MSVC doesn't support unsigned in OpenMP loops
* gcc 4.6 doesn't support using keyword
* Fix lint issues
* Respond to code review
* Fix bug in ApplySplitSparseData()
* Attempting to read beyond the end of a sparse column
* Mishandling the case where an entire range of rows have missing values
* Fix training continuation bug
Disable UpdatePredictionCache() in the first iteration. This way, we can
accomodate the scenario where we build off of an existing (nonempty) ensemble.
* Add regression test for fast_hist
* Respond to code review
* Add back old version of ApplySplitSparseData
* Support histogram-based algorithm + multiple tree growing strategy
* Add a brand new updater to support histogram-based algorithm, which buckets
continuous features into discrete bins to speed up training. To use it, set
`tree_method = fast_hist` to configuration.
* Support multiple tree growing strategies. For now, two policies are supported:
* `grow_policy=depthwise` (default): favor splitting at nodes closest to the
root, i.e. grow depth-wise.
* `grow_policy=lossguide`: favor splitting at nodes with highest loss change
* Improve single-threaded performance
* Unroll critical loops
* Introduce specialized code for dense data (i.e. no missing values)
* Additional training parameters: `max_leaves`, `max_bin`, `grow_policy`, `verbose`
* Adding a small test for hist method
* Fix memory error in row_set.h
When std::vector is resized, a reference to one of its element may become
stale. Any such reference must be updated as well.
* Resolve cross-platform compilation issues
* Versions of g++ older than 4.8 lacks support for a few C++11 features, e.g.
alignas(*) and new initializer syntax. To support g++ 4.6, use pre-C++11
initializer and remove alignas(*).
* Versions of MSVC older than 2015 does not support alignas(*). To support
MSVC 2012, remove alignas(*).
* For g++ 4.8 and newer, alignas(*) is enabled for performance benefits.
* Some old compilers (MSVC 2012, g++ 4.6) do not support template aliases
(which uses `using` to declate type aliases). So always use `typedef`.
* Fix a host of CI issues
* Remove dependency for libz on osx
* Fix heading for hist_util
* Fix minor style issues
* Add missing #include
* Remove extraneous logging
* Enable tree_method=hist in R
* Renaming HistMaker to GHistBuilder to avoid confusion
* Fix R integration
* Respond to style comments
* Consistent tie-breaking for priority queue using timestamps
* Last-minute style fixes
* Fix issuecomment-271977647
The way we quantize data is broken. The agaricus data consists of all
categorical values. When NAs are converted into 0's,
`HistCutMatrix::Init` assign both 0's and 1's to the same single bin.
Why? gmat only the smallest value (0) and an upper bound (2), which is twice
the maximum value (1). Add the maximum value itself to gmat to fix the issue.
* Fix issuecomment-272266358
* Remove padding from cut values for the continuous case
* For categorical/ordinal values, use midpoints as bin boundaries to be safe
* Fix CI issue -- do not use xrange(*)
* Fix corner case in quantile sketch
Signed-off-by: Philip Cho <chohyu01@cs.washington.edu>
* Adding a test for an edge case in quantile sketcher
max_bin=2 used to cause an exception.
* Fix fast_hist test
The test used to require a strictly increasing Test AUC for all examples.
One of them exhibits a small blip in Test AUC before achieving a Test AUC
of 1. (See bottom.)
Solution: do not require monotonic increase for this particular example.
