* 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.
* GPU binning and compression.
- binning and index compression are done inside the DeviceShard constructor
- in case of a DMatrix with multiple row batches, it is first converted into a single row batch
* Add option to use weights when evaluating metrics in validation sets
* Add test for validation-set weights functionality
* simplify case with no weights for test sets
* fix lint issues

* fix whitespace
* fix typo
* Extended monotonic constraints support to 'hist' tree method.
* Added monotonic constraints tests.
* Fix the signature of NoConstraint::CalcSplitGain()
* Document monotonic constraint support in 'hist'
* Update signature of Update to account for latest refactor
* 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
* Fix#2905
* Fix gpu_exact test failures
* Fix bug in GPU prediction where multiple calls to batch prediction can produce incorrect results
* Fix GPU documentation formatting
- Implement colsampling, subsampling for gpu_hist_experimental
- Optimised multi-GPU implementation for gpu_hist_experimental
- Make nccl optional
- Add Volta architecture flag
- Optimise RegLossObj
- Add timing utilities for debug verbose mode
- Bump required cuda version to 8.0
* Fatal error if GPU algorithm selected without GPU support compiled
* Resolve type conversion warnings
* Fix gpu unit test failure
* Fix compressed iterator edge case
* Fix python unit test failures due to flake8 update on pip
* SHAP values for feature contributions
* Fix commenting error
* New polynomial time SHAP value estimation algorithm
* Update API to support SHAP values
* Fix merge conflicts with updates in master
* Correct submodule hashes
* Fix variable sized stack allocation
* Make lint happy
* Add docs
* Fix typo
* Adjust tolerances
* Remove unneeded def
* Fixed cpp test setup
* Updated R API and cleaned up
* Fixed test typo
