#' Predict method for eXtreme Gradient Boosting model
#'
#' Predicted values based on either xgboost model or model handle object.
#'
#' @param object Object of class \code{xgb.Booster} or \code{xgb.Booster.handle}
#' @param newdata takes \code{matrix}, \code{dgCMatrix}, local data file or
#' \code{xgb.DMatrix}.
#' @param missing Missing is only used when input is dense matrix, pick a float
#' value that represents missing value. Sometime a data use 0 or other extreme value to represents missing values.
#' @param outputmargin whether the prediction should be shown in the original
#' value of sum of functions, when outputmargin=TRUE, the prediction is
#' untransformed margin value. In logistic regression, outputmargin=T will
#' output value before logistic transformation.
#' @param ntreelimit limit number of trees used in prediction, this parameter is
#' only valid for gbtree, but not for gblinear. set it to be value bigger
#' than 0. It will use all trees by default.
#' @param predleaf whether predict leaf index instead. If set to TRUE, the output will be a matrix object.
#' @param ... Parameters pass to \code{predict.xgb.Booster}
#'
#' @details
#' The option \code{ntreelimit} purpose is to let the user train a model with lots
#' of trees but use only the first trees for prediction to avoid overfitting
#' (without having to train a new model with less trees).
#'
#' The option \code{predleaf} purpose is inspired from §3.1 of the paper
#' \code{Practical Lessons from Predicting Clicks on Ads at Facebook}.
#' The idea is to use the model as a generator of new features which capture non linear link
#' from original features.

#' Accessors for serializable attributes of a model.
#'
#' These methods allow to manipulate the key-value attribute strings of an xgboost model.
#'
#' @param object Object of class \code{xgb.Booster} or \code{xgb.Booster.handle}.
#' @param name a non-empty character string specifying which attribute is to be accessed.
#' @param value a value of an attribute for \code{xgb.attr<-}; for \code{xgb.attributes<-}
#' it's a list (or an object coercible to a list) with the names of attributes to set
#' and the elements corresponding to attribute values.
#' Non-character values are converted to character.
#' When attribute value is not a scalar, only the first index is used.
#' Use \code{NULL} to remove an attribute.
#'
#' @details
#' The primary purpose of xgboost model attributes is to store some meta-data about the model.
#' Note that they are a separate concept from the object attributes in R.
#' Specifically, they refer to key-value strings that can be attached to an xgboost model,
#' stored together with the model's binary representation, and accessed later
#' (from R or any other interface).
#' In contrast, any R-attribute assigned to an R-object of \code{xgb.Booster} class
#' would not be saved by \code{xgb.save} because an xgboost model is an external memory object
#' and its serialization is handled extrnally.
#' Also, setting an attribute that has the same name as one of xgboost's parameters wouldn't
#' change the value of that parameter for a model.
#' Use \code{\link{`xgb.parameters<-`}} to set or change model parameters.
#'
#' The attribute setters would usually work more efficiently for \code{xgb.Booster.handle}
#' than for \code{xgb.Booster}, since only just a handle (pointer) would need to be copied.
#'
#' The \code{xgb.attributes<-} setter either updates the existing or adds one or several attributes,
#' but doesn't delete the existing attributes which don't have their names in \code{names(attributes)}.
#'
#' @return
#' \code{xgb.attr} returns either a string value of an attribute
#' or \code{NULL} if an attribute wasn't stored in a model.
#'
#' \code{xgb.attributes} returns a list of all attribute stored in a model
#' or \code{NULL} if a model has no stored attributes.
