\title{Load xgboost model from binary file}
\usage{
xgb.load(modelfile)
}
\arguments{
\item{modelfile}{the name of the binary input file.}
}
\value{
An object of \code{xgb.Booster} class.
}
\description{
Load xgboost model from the binary model file.
}
\details{
The input file is expected to contain a model saved in an xgboost model format
using either \code{\link{xgb.save}} or \code{\link{cb.save.model}} in R, or using some
appropriate methods from other xgboost interfaces. E.g., a model trained in Python and
saved from there in xgboost format, could be loaded from R.

Note: a model saved as an R-object, has to be loaded using corresponding R-methods,
not \code{xgb.load}.
