* use gain for sklearn feature_importances_ `gain` is a better feature importance criteria than the currently used `weight` * added importance_type to class * fixed test * white space * fix variable name * fix deprecation warning * fix exp array * white spaces
eXtreme Gradient Boosting
Community | Documentation | Resources | Contributors | Release Notes
XGBoost is an optimized distributed gradient boosting library designed to be highly efficient, flexible and portable. It implements machine learning algorithms under the Gradient Boosting framework. XGBoost provides a parallel tree boosting (also known as GBDT, GBM) that solve many data science problems in a fast and accurate way. The same code runs on major distributed environment (Hadoop, SGE, MPI) and can solve problems beyond billions of examples.
