- Small cleanup to the tidy script.
- Remove gpu_jvm, which seems to be unused.
Thrust implementation of `thrust::all_of/any_of/none_of` adopts an early stopping strategy
to bailout early by dividing the input into small batches. This is not ideal for data
validation as we expect all data to be valid. The strategy leads to excessive kernel
launches and stream synchronization.
* Use reduce from dh instead.
- Pass context from booster to DMatrix.
- Use context instead of integer for `n_threads`.
- Check the consistency configuration for `max_bin`.
- Test for all combinations of initialization options.
Previously, we use `libsvm` as default when format is not specified. However, the dmlc
data parser is not particularly robust against errors, and the most common type of error
is undefined format.
Along with which, we will recommend users to use other data loader instead. We will
continue the maintenance of the parsers as it's currently used for many internal tests
including federated learning.
* Create pyproject.toml
* Implement a custom build backend (see below) in packager directory. Build logic from setup.py has been refactored and migrated into the new backend.
* Tested: pip wheel . (build wheel), python -m build --sdist . (source distribution)
* Fix tests with pandas 2.0.
- `is_categorical` is replaced by `is_categorical_dtype`.
- one hot encoding returns boolean type instead of integer type.
* [dask] Return the first valid booster instead of all valid ones.
- Reduce memory footprint of the returned model.
* mypy error.
* lint.
* duplicated.
Added some more tests for the learner and fit_stump, for both column-wise distributed learning and vertical federated learning.
Also moved the `IsRowSplit` and `IsColumnSplit` methods from the `DMatrix` to the `MetaInfo` since in some places we only have access to the `MetaInfo`. Added a new convenience method `IsVerticalFederatedLearning`.
Some refactoring of the testing fixtures.
- Fix prediction range.
- Support prediction cache in mt-hist.
- Support model slicing.
- Make the booster a Python iterable by defining `__iter__`.
- Cleanup removed/deprecated parameters.
- A new field in the output model `iteration_indptr` for pointing to the ranges of trees for each iteration.
- Remove parameter serialization in the scikit-learn interface.
The scikit-lear interface `save_model` will save only the model and discard all
hyper-parameters. This is to align with the native XGBoost interface, which distinguishes
the hyper-parameter and model parameters.
With the scikit-learn interface, model parameters are attributes of the estimator. For
instance, `n_features_in_`, `n_classes_` are always accessible with
`estimator.n_features_in_` and `estimator.n_classes_`, but not with the
`estimator.get_params`.
- Define a `load_model` method for classifier to load its own attributes.
- Set n_estimators to None by default.
* Implement multi-target for hist.
- Add new hist tree builder.
- Move data fetchers for tests.
- Dispatch function calls in gbm base on the tree type.
- The new implementation is more strict as only binary labels are accepted. The previous implementation converts values greater than 1 to 1.
- Deterministic GPU. (no atomic add).
- Fix top-k handling.
- Precise definition of MAP. (There are other variants on how to handle top-k).
- Refactor GPU ranking tests.
- Extract the builder from the updater class. We need a new builder for multi-target.
- Extract `UpdateTree`, it can be reused for different builders. Eventually, other tree
updaters can use it as well.
* Make tree model param a private member.
* Number of features and targets are immutable after construction.
This is to reduce the number of places where we can run configuration.
- Pass obj info into tree updater as const pointer.
This way we don't have to initialize the learner model param before configuring gbm, hence
breaking up the dependency of configurations.
- Define a new tree struct embedded in the `RegTree`.
- Provide dispatching functions in `RegTree`.
- Fix some c++-17 warnings about the use of nodiscard (currently we disable the warning on
the CI).
- Use uint32_t instead of size_t for `bst_target_t` as it has a defined size and can be used
as part of dmlc parameter.
- Hide the `Segment` struct inside the categorical split matrix.
* Support sklearn cross validation for ranker.
- Add a convention for X to include a special `qid` column.
sklearn utilities consider only `X`, `y` and `sample_weight` for supervised learning
algorithms, but we need an additional qid array for ranking.
It's important to be able to support the cross validation function in sklearn since all
other tuning functions like grid search are based on cross validation.

* Thrust 1.17 removes the experimental/pinned_allocator.
When xgboost is brought into a large project it can
be compiled against Thrust 1.17+ which don't offer
this experimental allocator.
To ensure that going forward xgboost works in all environments we provide a xgboost namespaced version of
the pinned_allocator that previously was in Thrust.

* [Python] Require black and isort for new Python files.
- Require black and isort for spark and dask module.
These files are relatively new and are more conform to the black formatter. We will
convert the rest of the library as we move forward.
Other libraries including dask/distributed and optuna use the same formatting style and
have a more strict standard. The black formatter is indeed quite nice, automating it can
help us unify the code style.
- Gather Python checks into a single script.
* [PySpark] change the returning model type to string from binary
XGBoost pyspark can be can be accelerated by RAPIDS Accelerator seamlessly by
changing the returning model type from binary to string.
- Use `bst_bin_t` in batch param constructor.
- Use `StringView` to avoid `std::string` when appropriate.
- Avoid using `MetaInfo` in quantile constructor to limit the scope of parameter.
* Split up column matrix initialization.
This PR splits the column matrix initialization into 2 steps, the first one initializes
the storage while the second one does the transpose. By doing so, we can reuse the code
for Quantile DMatrix.
* Fix mypy error with latest dask.
Dask is adding type hints to its codebase and as the result, checks in XGBoost can be
performed more rigorously.
- Remove compatibility with old dask version where multi lock was missing.
- Restrict input of `X` to be non-series.
- Adopt latest definition of `Delayed`.
- Avoid passing optional `host_ip`.
- Avoid deprecated `worker.nthreads`.
* [jvm-packages] fix executor crashing issue when transforming on xgboost4j-spark-gpu
the API XGBoosterSetParam is not thread-safe. Dring the phase of transforming,
XGBoost runs several transforming tasks at a time, and each of them will set
the "gpu_id" and "predictor" parameters, so if several tasks (multi-threads)
all XGBoosterSetParam simultaneously, it may cause the memory to be corrupted
and cause SIGSEGV.
This PR first get the booster from broadcast and set to the correct gpu_id
and predictor, and then all transforming taskes will use the same booster to
do the transforming.

This PR removes auto-detection of MUSL-based Linux systems in favor of system properties the user can set to configure a specific path for a native library.
* Pass sparse page as adapter, which prepares for quantile dmatrix.
* Remove old external memory code like `rbegin` and extra `Init` function.
* Simplify type dispatch.
Federated learning plugin for xgboost:
* A gRPC server to aggregate MPI-style requests (allgather, allreduce, broadcast) from federated workers.
* A Rabit engine for the federated environment.
* Integration test to simulate federated learning.
Additional followups are needed to address GPU support, better security, and privacy, etc.
Support adaptive tree, a feature supported by both sklearn and lightgbm. The tree leaf is recomputed based on residue of labels and predictions after construction.
For l1 error, the optimal value is the median (50 percentile).
This is marked as experimental support for the following reasons:
- The value is not well defined for distributed training, where we might have empty leaves for local workers. Right now I just use the original leaf value for computing the average with other workers, which might cause significant errors.
- Some follow-ups are required, for exact, pruner, and optimization for quantile function. Also, we need to calculate the initial estimation.
With the introduction of the barrier execution mode. we don't need to kill SparkContext when some xgboost tasks failed. Instead, Spark will handle the errors for us. So in this PR, `killSparkContextOnWorkerFailure` parameter is deleted.
* Make sure the task is initialized before construction of tree updater.
This is a quick fix meant to be backported to 1.6, for a full fix we should pass the model
param into tree updater by reference instead.
* Skip non-increasing test with external memory when subsample is used.
* Increase bin numbers for boost from prediction test. This mitigates the effect of
non-deterministic partitioning.
* Use the name `Context`.
* Pass a context object into `SetInfo`.
* Add context to proxy matrix.
* Add context to iterative DMatrix.
This is to remove the use of the default number of threads during `SetInfo` as a follow-up on
removing the global omp variable while preparing for CUDA stream semantic. Currently, XGBoost
uses the legacy CUDA stream, we will gradually remove them in the future in favor of non-blocking streams.
* Generate column matrix from gHistIndex.
* Avoid synchronization with the sparse page once the cache is written.
* Cleanups: Remove member variables/functions, change the update routine to look like approx and gpu_hist.
* Remove pruner.
Fix some tests to run in a temporary directory in case the root
directory is not writable. Note that most of tests are already
running in the temporary directory, so this PR just make them
consistent.
* Extract partitioner from hist.
* Implement categorical data support by passing the gradient index directly into the partitioner.
* Organize/update document.
* Remove code for negative hessian.
xgboost4j-spark provides 2 sets of API for setting features, one for CPU, another for GPU, which may cause confusion.

* Implement partition-based split for GPU evaluation. Currently, it's based on the existing evaluation function.
* Extract an evaluator from GPU Hist to store the needed states.
* Added some CUDA stream/event utilities.
* Update document with references.
* Fixed a bug in approx evaluator where the number of data points is less than the number of categories.
Empty partition is different from empty dataset. For the former case, each worker has
non-empty dask collections, but each collection might contain empty partition.
This PR prepares the GHistIndexMatrix to host the column matrix which is used by the hist tree method by accepting sparse_threshold parameter.
Some cleanups are made to ensure the correct batch param is being passed into DMatrix along with some additional tests for correctness of SimpleDMatrix.

* Require context to be available at the construction time of booster.
* Add `n_threads` support for R csc DMatrix constructor.
* Remove `omp_get_max_threads` in R glue code.
* Remove threading utilities that rely on omp global variable.
- Add user configuration.
- Bring back to the logic of using scheduler address from dask. This was removed when we were trying to support GKE, now we bring it back and let xgboost try it if direct guess or host IP from user config failed.
Note that when cub inside CUDA is being used, XGBoost performs checks on input size
instead of using internal cub function to accept inputs larger than maximum integer.
* Implement ubjson.
This is a partial implementation of UBJSON with support for typed arrays. Some missing
features are `f64`, typed object, and the no-op.
This PR rewrites the approx tree method to use codebase from hist for better performance and code sharing.
The rewrite has many benefits:
- Support for both `max_leaves` and `max_depth`.
- Support for `grow_policy`.
- Support for mono constraint.
- Support for feature weights.
- Support for easier bin configuration (`max_bin`).
- Support for categorical data.
- Faster performance for most of the datasets. (many times faster)
- Support for prediction cache.
- Significantly better performance for external memory.
- Unites the code base between approx and hist.
Instead of accessing data from the `original_page_`, access the data from the first page of the available batch.

This PR changes base_margin into a 3-dim array, with one of them being reserved for multi-target classification. Also, a breaking change is made for binary serialization due to extra dimension along with a fix for saving the feature weights. Lastly, it unifies the prediction initialization between CPU and GPU.

* Extend array interface to handle ndarray.
The `ArrayInterface` class is extended to support multi-dim array inputs. Previously this
class handles only 2-dim (vector is also matrix). This PR specifies the expected
dimension at compile-time and the array interface can perform various checks automatically
for input data. Also, adapters like CSR are more rigorous about their input. Lastly, row
vector and column vector are handled without intervention from the caller.
* [R] Fix global feature importance.
* Add implementation for tree index. The parameter is not documented in C API since we
should work on porting the model slicing to R instead of supporting more use of tree
index.
* Fix the difference between "gain" and "total_gain".
* debug.
* Fix prediction.
Change from system Python to environment python3. For Ubuntu 20.04, only `python3` is
available and there's no `python`. So at least `python3` is consistent with Python
virtual env, Ubuntu and anaconda.
This is already partially supported but never properly tested. So the only possible way to use it is calling `numpy.ndarray.flatten` with `base_margin` before passing it into XGBoost. This PR adds proper support
for most of the data types along with tests.
Generated using `clang-format -style=google -dump-config > .clang-format`, with column
width changed from 80 to 100 to be consistent with existing cpplint check.
Spark 3.2 depends on 3.7.0-M11 which has changed some implicited functions'
signatures. And it will result the xgboost4j built against spark 3.0/3.1
failed when saving the model.
A new parameter `custom_metric` is added to `train` and `cv` to distinguish the behaviour from the old `feval`. And `feval` is deprecated. The new `custom_metric` receives transformed prediction when the built-in objective is used. This enables XGBoost to use cost functions from other libraries like scikit-learn directly without going through the definition of the link function.
`eval_metric` and `early_stopping_rounds` in sklearn interface are moved from `fit` to `__init__` and is now saved as part of the scikit-learn model. The old ones in `fit` function are now deprecated. The new `eval_metric` in `__init__` has the same new behaviour as `custom_metric`.
Added more detailed documents for the behaviour of custom objective and metric.
Following classes are added to support dataframe in java binding:
- `Column` is an abstract type for a single column in tabular data.
- `ColumnBatch` is an abstract type for dataframe.
- `CuDFColumn` is an implementaiton of `Column` that consume cuDF column
- `CudfColumnBatch` is an implementation of `ColumnBatch` that consumes cuDF dataframe.
- `DeviceQuantileDMatrix` is the interface for quantized data.
The Java implementation mimics the Python interface and uses `__cuda_array_interface__` protocol for memory indexing. One difference is on JVM package, the data batch is staged on the host as java iterators cannot be reset.

Fix bug introduced in 17913713b5 (allow loading from byte array)
When loading model from stream, only last buffer read from the input stream is used to construct the model.

* Set GITHUB_PAT env var to fix R tests
* Use built-in GITHUB_TOKEN
* Disallow importing non-dask estimators from xgboost.dask
This is mostly a style change, but also avoids a user error (that I have
committed on a few occasions). Since `XGBRegressor` and `XGBClassifier`
are imported as parent classes for the `dask` estimators, without
defining an `__all__`, autocomplete (or muscle) memory will produce the
following with little prompting:
```
from xgboost.dask import XGBClassifier
```
There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but given that
`XGBClassifier` is not `dask` enabled, it can lead to confusing behavior
until you figure out you should've typed
```
from xgboost.dask import DaskXGBClassifier
```
Another option is to alias import the existing non-dask estimators.
* Remove base/iter class, add train predict funcs

- Make sure the cache can not be violated.
- Provide an interface for internal algorithms to process data asynchronously.
The role of ProxyDMatrix is going beyond what it was designed. Now it's used by both
QuantileDeviceDMatrix and inplace prediction. After the refactoring of sparse DMatrix it
will also be used for external memory. Renaming the C API to extract it from
QuantileDeviceDMatrix.
Other than modularizing the split evaluation function, this PR also removes some more functions including `InitNewNodes` and `BuildNodeStats` among some other unused variables. Also, scattered code like setting leaf weights is grouped into the split evaluator and `NodeEntry` is simplified and made private. Another subtle difference with the original implementation is that the modified code doesn't call `tree[nidx].Parent()` to traversal upward.

The guard protects the global variable from being changed by XGBoost. But this leads to a
bug that the `n_threads` parameter is no longer used after the first iteration. This is
due to the fact that `omp_set_num_threads` is only called once in `Learner::Configure` at
the beginning of the training process.
The guard is still useful for `gpu_id`, since this is called all the times in our codebase
doesn't matter which iteration we are currently running.
currently installing the R-pacakge will leave the repo in dirty state, since
`CmakeLists.txt` is already checked in. This fixes the `cleanup`
script to not delete this file.

* Re-implement ROC-AUC.
* Binary
* MultiClass
* LTR
* Add documents.
This PR resolves a few issues:
- Define a value when the dataset is invalid, which can happen if there's an
empty dataset, or when the dataset contains only positive or negative values.
- Define ROC-AUC for multi-class classification.
- Define weighted average value for distributed setting.
- A correct implementation for learning to rank task. Previous
implementation is just binary classification with averaging across groups,
which doesn't measure ordered learning to rank.
The [general documentation](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/parameter.html#parameters-for-tree-booster) clearly has alpha and lambda under its "Parameters for Tree Booster" heading. Furthermore, the R package clearly uses alpha and lambda when told to use the tree booster. This update adds those two parameters to the documentation for the R package.
Closed issue #6763.
* [dask] Use `distributed.MultiLock`
This enables training multiple models in parallel.
* Conditionally import `MultiLock`.
* Use async train directly in scikit learn interface.
* Use `worker_client` when available.
* Ensure RMM is 0.18 or later
* Add use_rmm flag to global configuration
* Modify XGBCachingDeviceAllocatorImpl to skip CUB when use_rmm=True
* Update the demo
* [CI] Pin NumPy to 1.19.4, since NumPy 1.19.5 doesn't work with latest Shap
* Save feature info in booster in JSON model.
* [breaking] Remove automatic feature name generation in `DMatrix`.
This PR is to enable reliable feature validation in Python package.
* Add ability to load booster direct from byte array
* fix compiler error
* move InputStream to byte-buffer conversion
- move it from Booster to XGBoost facade class
* Use normal predictor for dart booster.
* Implement `inplace_predict` for dart.
* Enable `dart` for dask interface now that it's thread-safe.
* categorical data should be working out of box for dart now.
The implementation is not very efficient as it has to pull back the data and
apply weight for each tree, but still a significant improvement over previous
implementation as now we no longer binary search for each sample.
* Fix output prediction shape on dataframe.
* Stop printing out message.
* Remove R specialization.
The printed message is not really useful anyway, without a reproducible example
there's no way to fix it. But if there's a reproducible example, we can always
obtain these information by a debugger. Removing the `printf` function avoids
creating the context in kernel.
* Add a new API function for predicting on `DMatrix`. This function aligns
with rest of the `XGBoosterPredictFrom*` functions on semantic of function
arguments.
* Purge `ntree_limit` from libxgboost, use iteration instead.
* [dask] Use `inplace_predict` by default for dask sklearn models.
* [dask] Run prediction shape inference on worker instead of client.
The breaking change is in the Python sklearn `apply` function, I made it to be
consistent with other prediction functions where `best_iteration` is used by
default.
* Accept array interface for csr and array.
* Accept an optional proxy dmatrix for metainfo.
This constructs an explicit `_ProxyDMatrix` type in Python.
* Remove unused doc.
* Add strict output.
This PR changes predict and inplace_predict to accept a Future of model, to avoid sending models to workers repeatably.
* Document is updated to reflect functionality additions in recent changes.
* [dask] Use a 1 line sample to infer output shape.
This is for inferring shape with direct prediction (without DaskDMatrix).
There are a few things that requires known output shape before carrying out
actual prediction, including dask meta data, output dataframe columns.
* Infer output shape based on local prediction.
* Remove set param in predict function as it's not thread safe nor necessary as
we now let dask to decide the parallelism.
* Simplify prediction on `DaskDMatrix`.
This PR ensures all DMatrix types have a common interface.
* Fix logic in avoiding duplicated DMatrix in sklearn.
* Check for consistency between DMatrix types.
* Add doc for bounds.
* [java] extending the library loader to use both OS and CPU architecture.
* Simplifying create_jni.py's architecture detection.
* Tidying up the architecture detection in create_jni.py
The old (before fix) best_ntree_limit ignores the num_class parameters, which is incorrect. In before we workarounded it in c++ layer to avoid possible breaking changes on other language bindings. But the Python interpretation stayed incorrect. The PR fixed that in Python to consider num_class, but didn't remove the old workaround, so tree calculation in predictor is incorrect, see PredictBatch in CPUPredictor.
* Initial support for distributed LTR using dask.
* Support `qid` in libxgboost.
* Refactor `predict` and `n_features_in_`, `best_[score/iteration/ntree_limit]`
to avoid duplicated code.
* Define `DaskXGBRanker`.
The dask ranker doesn't support group structure, instead it uses query id and
convert to group ptr internally.
* Update dmlc-core submodule and conform to new API
* Remove unsupported parameter from method signature
* Update dmlc-core submodule and conform to new API
* Update dmlc-core

* For sklearn:
- Handles user defined objective function.
- Handles `softmax`.
* For dask:
- Use the implementation from sklearn, the previous implementation doesn't perform any extra handling.
* Calling XGBModel.fit() should clear the Booster by default
* Document the behavior of fit()
* Allow sklearn object to be passed in directly via xgb_model argument
* Fix lint
For the `gamma-nloglik` eval metric, small positive values in the labels are causing `NaN`'s in the outputs, as reported here: https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/5349. This will add clipping on them, similar to what is done in other metrics like `poisson-nloglik` and `logloss`.
* Implement early stopping with training continuation.
* Add new C API for obtaining boosted rounds.
* Fix off by 1 in `save_best`.

We propose to only use the rowHashCode to compute the partitionKey, adding the FeatureValue hashCode does not bring more value and would make the computation slower. Even though a collision would appear at 0.2% with MurmurHash3 this is bearable for partitioning, this won't have any impact on the data balancing.

The functions featureValueOfSparseVector or featureValueOfDenseVector could return a Float.NaN if the input vectore was containing any missing values. This would make fail the partition key computation and most of the vectors would end up in the same partition. We fix this by avoid returning a NaN and simply use the row HashCode in this case.
We added a test to ensure that the repartition is indeed now uniform on input dataset containing values by checking that the partitions size variance is below a certain threshold.

* When parent read from a child, check it receive minimal reduce size.
fix bug. Rewrite the minimal reducer size check, make sure it's 1~N times of minimal reduce size
Assume the minimal reduce size is X, the logic here is
1: each child upload total_size of message
2: each parent receive X message at least, up to total_size
3: parent reduce X or NxX or total_size message
4: parent sends X or NxX or total_size message to its parent
4: parent's parent receive X message at least, up to total_size. Then reduce X or NxX or total_size message
6: parent's parent sends X or NxX or total_size message to its children
7: parent receives X or NxX or total_size message, sends to its children
8: child receive X or NxN or total_size message.
During the whole process, each transfer is (1~N)xX Byte message or up to total_size.
if X is larger than total_size, then allreduce allways reduce the whole messages and pass down.

* Move thread local entry into Learner.
This is an attempt to workaround CUDA context issue in static variable, where
the CUDA context can be released before device vector.
* Add PredictionEntry to thread local entry.
This eliminates one copy of prediction vector.
* Don't define CUDA C API in a namespace.
* - create a gpu metrics (internal) registry
- the objective is to separate the cpu and gpu implementations such that they evolve
indepedently. to that end, this approach will:
- preserve the same metrics configuration (from the end user perspective)
- internally delegate the responsibility to the gpu metrics builder when there is a
valid device present
- decouple the gpu metrics builder from the cpu ones to prevent misuse
- move away from including the cuda file from within the cc file and segregate the code
via ifdef's
* Use pre-rounding based method to obtain reproducible floating point
summation.
* GPU Hist for regression and classification are bit-by-bit reproducible.
* Add doc.
* Switch to thrust reduce for `node_sum_gradient`.
* Add release note for 1.0.0
* Fix a small bug in the Python script that compiles the list of contributors
* Clarify governance of CI infrastructure; now PMC is formally in charge
* Address reviewer comment

- move segment sorter to common
- this is the first of a handful of pr's that splits the larger pr #5326
- it moves this facility to common (from ranking objective class), so that it can be
used for metric computation
- it also wraps all the bald device pointers into span.

* Enforce only major version in JSON model schema
* Bump version to 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
* Added a check call macro in jvm package, prevents executing other functions
from jvm when error occurred in XGBoost. For example, when prediction fails jvm
should not try to allocate memory based on the output prediction size.
Move this function into gbtree, and uses only updater for doing so. As now the predictor knows exactly how many trees to predict, there's no need for it to update the prediction cache.
* Move prediction cache into Learner.
* Clean-ups
- Remove duplicated cache in Learner and GBM.
- Remove ad-hoc fix of invalid cache.
- Remove `PredictFromCache` in predictors.
- Remove prediction cache for linear altogether, as it's only moving the
prediction into training process but doesn't provide any actual overall speed
gain.
- The cache is now unique to Learner, which means the ownership is no longer
shared by any other components.
* Changes
- Add version to prediction cache.
- Use weak ptr to check expired DMatrix.
- Pass shared pointer instead of raw pointer.

* Fix syncing DMatrix columns.
* notes for tree method.
* Enable feature validation for all interfaces except for jvm.
* Better tests for boosting from predictions.
* Disable validation on JVM.
* Disable parameter validation for now.
Scikit-Learn passes all parameters down to XGBoost, whether they are used or
not.
* Add option `validate_parameters`.
* - implementation of map ranking algorithm
- also effected necessary suggestions mentioned in the earlier ranking pr's
- made some performance improvements to the ndcg algo as well
* Add OpenMP as CMake target
* Require CMake 3.12, to allow linking OpenMP target to objxgboost
* Specify OpenMP compiler flag for CUDA host compiler
* Require CMake 3.16+ if the OS is Mac OSX
* Use AppleClang in Mac tests.
* Update dmlc-core
* Remove `learning_rates`.
It's been deprecated since we have callback.
* Set `before_iteration` of `reset_learning_rate` to False to preserve
the initial learning rate, and comply to the term "reset".
Closes#4709.
* Tests for various `tree_method`.
* Pass pointer to model parameters.
This PR de-duplicates most of the model parameters except the one in
`tree_model.h`. One difficulty is `base_score` is a model property but can be
changed at runtime by objective function. Hence when performing model IO, we
need to save the one provided by users, instead of the one transformed by
objective. Here we created an immutable version of `LearnerModelParam` that
represents the value of model parameter after configuration.
This PR fixes tree weights in dart being ignored when computing contributions.
* Fix ellpack page source link.
* Add tree weights to compute contribution.
- Install wget explicitly to match openssl.
- Install CMake explicitly.
- Use newer miniconda link.
- Reenable unittests.
- gcc@9 + xcode@10 for osx due to missing <_stdio.h>. Other versions of gcc should also work. But as homebrew pour gcc@9 after update by default, so I just stick with latest version.
- Disabled one external memory test for OSX. Not sure about the thread implementation in there and fixing external memory is beyond the scope of this PR.
- Use Python3 with conda in jvm package.
* Extract interaction constraints from split evaluator.
The reason for doing so is mostly for model IO, where num_feature and interaction_constraints are copied in split evaluator. Also interaction constraint by itself is a feature selector, acting like column sampler and it's inefficient to bury it deep in the evaluator chain. Lastly removing one another copied parameter is a win.
* Enable inc for approx tree method.
As now the implementation is spited up from evaluator class, it's also enabled for approx method.
* Removing obsoleted code in colmaker.
They are never documented nor actually used in real world. Also there isn't a single test for those code blocks.
* Unifying the types used for row and column.
As the size of input dataset is marching to billion, incorrect use of int is subject to overflow, also singed integer overflow is undefined behaviour. This PR starts the procedure for unifying used index type to unsigned integers. There's optimization that can utilize this undefined behaviour, but after some testings I don't see the optimization is beneficial to XGBoost.
This makes GPU Hist robust in distributed environment as some workers might not
be associated with any data in either training or evaluation.
* Disable rabit mock test for now: See #5012 .
* Disable dask-cudf test at prediction for now: See #5003
* Launch dask job for all workers despite they might not have any data.
* Check 0 rows in elementwise evaluation metrics.
Using AUC and AUC-PR still throws an error. See #4663 for a robust fix.
* Add tests for edge cases.
* Add `LaunchKernel` wrapper handling zero sized grid.
* Move some parts of allreducer into a cu file.
* Don't validate feature names when the booster is empty.
* Sync number of columns in DMatrix.
As num_feature is required to be the same across all workers in data split
mode.
* Filtering in dask interface now by default syncs all booster that's not
empty, instead of using rank 0.
* Fix Jenkins' GPU tests.
* Install dask-cuda from source in Jenkins' test.
Now all tests are actually running.
* Restore GPU Hist tree synchronization test.
* Check UUID of running devices.

* Add missing import in Jenkinsfile
* Address reviewer's comments
* Put artifacts for pull requests in separate directory
* No wildcard expansion in Windows CMD
* Use `UpdateAllowUnknown' for non-model related parameter.
Model parameter can not pack an additional boolean value due to binary IO
format. This commit deals only with non-model related parameter configuration.
* Add tidy command line arg for use-dmlc-gtest.
* - pairwise ranking objective implementation on gpu
- there are couple of more algorithms (ndcg and map) for which support will be added
as follow-up pr's
- with no label groups defined, get gradient is 90x faster on gpu (120m instance
mortgage dataset)
- it can perform by an order of magnitude faster with ~ 10 groups (and adequate cores
for the cpu implementation)
* Add JSON config to rank obj.
* Use CMake config file for representing version.
* Generate c and Python version file with CMake.
The generated file is written into source tree. But unless XGBoost upgrades
its version, there will be no actual modification. This retains compatibility
with Makefiles for R.
* Add XGBoost version the DMatrix binaries.
* Simplify prefetch detection in CMakeLists.txt

* - do not create device vectors for the entire sparse page while computing histograms...
- while creating the compressed histogram indices, the row vector is created for the entire
sparse page batch. this is needless as we only process chunks at a time based on a slice
of the total gpu memory
- this pr will allocate only as much as required to store the ppropriate row indices and the entries
* - do not dereference row_ptrs once the device_vector has been created to elide host copies of those counts
- instead, grab the entry counts directly from the sparsepage
* - set the appropriate device before freeing device memory...
- pr #4532 added a global memory tracker/logger to keep track of number of (de)allocations
and peak memory usage on a per device basis.
- this pr adds the appropriate check to make sure that the (de)allocation counts and memory usages
makes sense for the device. since verbosity is typically increased on debug/non-retail builds.
* - pre-create cub allocators and reuse them
- create them once and not resize them dynamically. we need to ensure that these allocators
are created and destroyed exactly once so that the appropriate device id's are set
This is part 1 of refactoring configuration.
* Move tree heuristic configurations.
* Split up declarations and definitions for GBTree.
* Implement UseGPU in gbm.
* - training with external memory - part 2 of 2
- when external memory support is enabled, building of histogram indices are
done incrementally for every sparse page
- the entire set of input data is divided across multiple gpu's and the relative
row positions within each device is tracked when building the compressed histogram buffer
- this was tested using a mortgage dataset containing ~ 670m rows before 4xt4's could be
saturated
* Fix C++11 config parser

* - training with external memory part 1 of 2
- this pr focuses on computing the quantiles using multiple gpus on a
dataset that uses the external cache capabilities
- there will a follow-up pr soon after this that will support creation
of histogram indices on large dataset as well
- both of these changes are required to support training with external memory
- the sparse pages in dmatrix are taken in batches and the the cut matrices
are incrementally built
- also snuck in some (perf) changes related to sketches aggregation amongst multiple
features across multiple sparse page batches. instead of aggregating the summary
inside each device and merged later, it is aggregated in-place when the device
is working on different rows but the same feature
* Only define `gpu_id` and `n_gpus` in `LearnerTrainParam`

The old NativeLibLoader had a short-circuit load path which modified
java.library.path and attempted to load the xgboost library from outside
the jar first, falling back to loading the library from inside the jar.
This path is a no-op every time when using XGBoost outside of it's
source tree. Additionally it triggers an illegal reflective access
warning in the module system in 9, 10, and 11.
On Java 12 the ClassLoader fields are not accessible via reflection
(separately from the illegal reflective acces warning), and so it fails
in a way that isn't caught by the code which falls back to loading the
library from inside the jar.
This commit removes that code path and always loads the xgboost library
from inside the jar file as it's a valid technique across multiple JVM
implementations and works with all versions of Java.
* Fix Histogram allocation.
nidx_map is cleared after `Reset`, but histogram data size isn't changed hence
histogram recycling is used in later iterations. After a reset(building new
tree), newly allocated node will start from 0, while recycling always choose
the node with smallest index, which happens to be our newly allocated node 0.
* When building pull requests, use Docker cache for master branch
Docker build caches are per-branch, so new pull requests will initially
have no build cache, causing the Docker containers to be built from
scratch. New pull requests should use the cache associated with the
master branch. This makes sense, since most pull requests do not modify
the Dockerfile.
* Add comments
* make the assignments of HostDeviceVector exception safe.
* storing a dummy GPUDistribution instance in HDV for CPU based code.
* change testxgboost binary location to build directory.
* Make train in xgboost4j respect print params
Previously no setting in params argument of Booster::train would prevent
the Rabit.trackerPrint call. This can fill up a lot of screen space in
the case that many folds are being trained.
* Setting "silent" in this map to "true", "True", a non-zero integer, or
a string that can be parsed to such an int will prevent printing.
* Setting "verbose_eval" to "False" or "false" will prevent printing.
* Setting "verbose_eval" to an int (or a String parseable to an int) n
will result in printing every n steps, or no printing is n is zero.
This is to match the python behaviour described here:

* Upgrade gtest for clang-tidy.
* Use CMake to install GTest instead of mv.
* Don't enforce clang-tidy to return 0 due to errors in thrust.

* Reformat.
* Added SKLearn-like random forest Python API.
- added XGBRFClassifier and XGBRFRegressor classes to SKL-like xgboost API
- also added n_gpus and gpu_id parameters to SKL classes
- added documentation describing how to use xgboost for random forests,
as well as existing caveats
* Initial commit to support multi-node multi-gpu xgboost using dask
* Fixed NCCL initialization by not ignoring the opg parameter.
- it now crashes on NCCL initialization, but at least we're attempting it properly
* At the root node, perform a rabit::Allreduce to get initial sum_gradient across workers
* Synchronizing in a couple of more places.
- now the workers don't go down, but just hang

* update description of early stopping rounds
the description of early stopping round was quite inconsistent in the scikit-learn api section since the fit paragraph tells that when early stopping rounds occurs, the last iteration is returned not the best one, but the predict paragraph tells that when the predict is called without ntree_limit specified, then ntree_limit is equals to best_ntree_limit.
Thus, when reading the fit part, one could think that it is needed to specify what is the best iter when calling the predict, but when reading the predict part, then the best iter is given by default, it is the last iter that you have to specify if needed.

The `save_model()` and `load_model()` method only saves the part of the model
that's common to all language interfaces and do not preserve Python-specific
attributes, such as `feature_names`. More crucially, label encoder is not
preserved either; this is needed for the scikit-learn wrapper, since you may
have string labels.
Fix: Explicitly recommend pickling as the way to save scikit-learn model
objects.

Issues that were closed more than 90 days ago will be locked automatically so

Background: As a maintainer, I often see people leaving comments to old issue
posts that were closed long ago. Those comments are hard to discover and assist
with, since they get buried under list of other active issues.
With the change, users who want to follow up with an old issue would be asked
to file a new issue.

**Symptom** Apple Clang's implementation of `std::shuffle` expects doesn't work
correctly when it is run with the random bit generator for R package:
```cpp
CustomGlobalRandomEngine::result_type
CustomGlobalRandomEngine::operator()() {
return static_cast<result_type>(
std::floor(unif_rand() * CustomGlobalRandomEngine::max()));
}
```
Minimial reproduction of failure (compile using Apple Clang 10.0):
```cpp
std::vector<int> feature_set(100);
std::iota(feature_set.begin(), feature_set.end(), 0);
// initialize with 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 99
std::shuffle(feature_set.begin(), feature_set.end(), common::GlobalRandom());
// This returns 0, 1, 2, ..., 99, so content didn't get shuffled at all!!!
```
Note that this bug is platform-dependent; it does not appear when GCC or
upstream LLVM Clang is used.
**Diagnosis** Apple Clang's `std::shuffle` expects 32-bit integer
inputs, whereas `CustomGlobalRandomEngine::operator()` produces 64-bit
integers.
**Fix** Have `CustomGlobalRandomEngine::operator()` produce 32-bit integers.
Closes#3523.

Early stopping callback makes splits with '-' letter, which interferes
with metrics of form NDCG@n-. As a result, XGBoost tries to minimize

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().

This pull request amends the broken #3062 allow Spark 2.2 to work.
Please note this won't work in Spark <=2.1 as sc.removeSparkListener was implemented in Spark 2.2. (So perhaps a more general method is better, although that is what was attempted in #3062)
This PR fixes: #3208, #3151 and the discussion in #1927.
I do find it strange that #3062 dose not work in Spark 2.2, it's probably due to some sort of public/private issue in the org.apache.spark.scheduler.LiveListenerBus class inheritance (In Spark itself). The error is: `java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.spark.scheduler.LiveListenerBus.removeListener(Ljava/lang/Object;)V`

* Fix#3545: XGDMatrixCreateFromCSCEx silently discards empty trailing rows
Description: The bug is triggered when
1. The data matrix has empty rows at the bottom. More precisely, the rows
`n-k+1`, `n-k+2`, ..., `n` of the matrix have missing values in all
dimensions (`n` number of instances, `k` number of trailing rows)
2. The data matrix is given as Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) format.
Diagnosis: When the CSC matrix is converted to Compressed Sparse Row (CSR)
format (this is common format used for DMatrix), the trailing empty rows
are silently ignored. More specifically, the row pointer (`offset`) of the
newly created CSR matrix does not take account of these rows.
Fix: Modify the row pointer.
* Add regression test
The base margin will need to have length `[num_class] * [number of data points]`.
Otherwise, the array holding prediction results will be only partially
initialized, causing undefined behavior.
Fix: check the length of the base margin. If the length is not correct,
use the global bias (`base_score`) instead. Warn the user about the
substitution.
* Fix#3402: wrong fid crashes distributed algorithm
The bug was introduced by the recent DMatrix refactor (#3301). It was partially

Fixes#3509 and #3026, where `max_delta_step` parameter gets lost during serialization.
* fix lint

* disable local variable case in clang-tidy
* Added finding quantiles on GPU.
- this includes datasets where weights are assigned to data rows
- as the quantiles found by the new algorithm are not the same
as those found by the old one, test thresholds in
tests/python-gpu/test_gpu_updaters.py have been adjusted.
* Adjustments and improved testing for finding quantiles on the GPU.
- added C++ tests for the DeviceSketch() function
- reduced one of the thresholds in test_gpu_updaters.py
- adjusted the cuts found by the find_cuts_k kernel
Add `'total_gain'` and `'total_cover'` as possible `importance_type`
arguments to `Booster.get_score` in the Python package.
`get_score` already accepts a `'gain'` argument, which returns each
feature's average gain over all of its splits. `'total_gain'` does the
same, but returns a total rather than an average. This seems more
intuitively meaningful, and also matches the behavior of the R package's
`xgb.importance` function.
I also added an analogous `'total_cover'` command for consistency.
This should resolve#3484.

Old MetaInfo format (1.0) doesn't contain qid field. We still want to be able

contain qid and those that do not.

* 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
Currently, `CLIPredict()` saves prediction results in default 6-digit precision which causes precision loss. This PR sets precision to a level so that the conversion back to `bst_float` is lossless.

Without this, with gcc 7.3.0, we see things like:

XGB_DLL const char *XGBGetLastError();
^~~~~~~
In some cases, users may not want to have any global replica of
the data being broadcasted/all-reduced. In such cases, set the
result_buffer_round to -1 as a flag that this is not necessary
and check for it.
Now we are passing the folder where the round instances are saved.
The problem is that calling utils::Check or utils::Assert on 1 or 2 nodes, shutdowns all of them. Only those should be shutdown and this will work. There maybe some other mechanism to shutdown a particular node. Tianqi?
updating mock. It now wraps the calls to sync and reads config from configuration file.
I believe it's better not to use the preprocessor directive, i.e. not to put any test code in the engine_tcp. I just call the mock in the test_allreduce file. It's a file purely for testing purposes, so it's fine to use the mock there.
It shouldn't be an assert because it shutdowns the process. Instead should check on the value and return some sort of error, so that we can recover.
The mock contains queues, indexed by the rank of the process. For each node, you can configure the behavior you expect (success or failure for now) when you call any of the methods (AllReduce, Broadcast, LoadCheckPoint and CheckPoint)... If you call several times AllReduce, the outputs will pop from the queue, i.e., first you can retrieve a success, then a failure and so on.
Pretty basic for now, need to tune it better

Used to prevent overfitting by making the boosting process more conservative. Lower value for \code{eta} implies larger value for \code{nrounds}: low \code{eta} value means model more robust to overfitting but slower to compute. Default: 0.3

#' \item\code{min_child_weight} minimum sum of instance weight (hessian) needed in a child. If the tree partition step results in a leaf node with the sum of instance weight less than min_child_weight, then the building process will give up further partitioning. In linear regression mode, this simply corresponds to minimum number of instances needed to be in each node. The larger, the more conservative the algorithm will be. Default: 1
#' \item \code{subsample} subsample ratio of the training instance. Setting it to 0.5 means that xgboost randomly collected half of the data instances to grow trees and this will prevent overfitting.

# Let's take, the column Treatment will be replaced by two columns, Placebo, and Treated. Each of them will be binary. For example an observation which had the value Placebo in column Treatment before the transformation will have, after the transformation, the value 1 in the new column Placebo and the value 0 in the new column Treated.

# The perfectly random split I did between young and old at 30 years old have a low correlation of 2. It's a result we may expect as may be in my mind > 30 years is being old (I am 32 and starting feeling old, this may explain that), but for the illness we are studying, the age to be vulnerable is not the same. Don't let your "gut" lower the quality of your model. In "data science", there is science :-)

# As you can see, in general destroying information by simplifying it won't improve your model. Chi2 just demonstrates that. But in more complex cases, creating a new feature based on existing one which makes link with the outcome more obvious may help the algorithm and improve the model. The case studied here is not enough complex to show that. Check Kaggle forum for some challenging datasets.

# However it's almost always worse when you add some arbitrary rules.
# Moreover, you can notice that even if we have added some not useful new features highly correlated with other features, the boosting tree algorithm have been able to choose the best one, which in this case is the Age. Linear model may not be that strong in these scenario.
