* Fixed more lint errors
* Fixed more lint errors
* Fixed issue with changes from different branch bleeding over
* Fixed issue with changes from other branch bleeding over
* Added note that kwargs may not be compatible with Sklearn
* Fixed linting on kwargs note
* 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.
* Changes for Mingw64 compilation to ensure long is a consistent size.
Mainly impacts the Java API which would not compile, but there may be
silent errors on Windows with large datasets before this patch (as long
is 32-bits when compiled with mingw64 even in 64-bit mode).
* Adding ifdefs to ensure it still compiles on MacOS
* Makefile and create_jni.bat changes for Windows.
* Switching XGDMatrixCreateFromCSREx JNI call to use size_t cast
* Fixing lint error, adding profile switching to jvm-packages build to make create-jni.bat get called, adding myself to Contributors.Md
