predictor param, allow fallback to prediction using DMatrix. (#9129)
- A `DeviceOrd` struct is implemented to indicate the device. It will eventually replace the `gpu_id` parameter. - The `predictor` parameter is removed. - Fallback to `DMatrix` when `inplace_predict` is not available. - The heuristic for choosing a predictor is only used during training.
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 (Kubernetes, Hadoop, SGE, Dask, Spark, PySpark) and can solve problems beyond billions of examples.
