XGBoost Regressor
This module contains an implementation of the XGBoost Regressor, a popular ensemble learning algorithm that combines the predictions from multiple decision trees to create a more robust and accurate model for regression tasks.
Usage
To use the XGBoost Regressor, follow these steps:
- Import the
XGBoostRegressor
class. - Create an instance of the class, specifying parameters such as the number of boosting rounds, learning rate, maximum depth, and gamma.
- Fit the model to your training data using the
fit
method. - Make predictions using the
predict
method.
Example:
from XGBoostRegressor import XGBoostRegressor
# Instantiate the XGBoost Regressor
xgb_model = XGBoostRegressor(n_estimators=100, learning_rate=0.1, max_depth=3, gamma=0.1)
# Fit the model to the training data
xgb_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Make predictions on the testing data
predictions = xgb_model.predict(X_test)
Parameters
n_estimators
: Number of boosting rounds (trees).learning_rate
: Step size shrinkage to prevent overfitting.max_depth
: Maximum depth of each tree.gamma
: Minimum loss reduction required to make a further partition.
