gbdt 0.1.1

A implementation of Gradient Boosting Regression Tree in Rust programming language
Documentation
//! This module implements the config for gradient boosting.
//!
//! Following hyperparameters are supported:
//!
//! 1. feature_size: the size of features. Training data and test data should have
//!    the same feature size. (default = 1)
//!
//! 2. max_depth: the max depth of a single decision tree. The root node is considered
//!    to be in the layer 0. (default = 2)
//!
//! 3. iterations: the iterations for training, which is also the number of trees in the
//!    gradient boosting algorithm. (default = 2)
//!
//! 4. shrinkage: the learning rate parameter of the gradient boosting algorithm.
//!    (default = 1.0)
//!
//! 5. feature_sample_raio: portion of features to be splited. When spliting a node, a subset of
//!    the features (feature_size * feature_sample_ratio) will be randomly selected to calculate
//!    impurity. (default = 1.0)
//!
//! 6. data_sample_ratio: portion of data used to train in a single iteration. Data will
//!    be randomly selected for the training. (default = 1.0)
//!
//! 7. min_leaf_size: the minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node during training.
//!    (default = 1)
//!
//! 8. loss: the loss function type. SquaredError, LogLikelyhood and LAD are supported for training and inference.
//!    RegLinear, RegLogistic, BinaryLogistic, BinaryLogitraw, MultiSoftprob, MultiSoftmax, RankPairwise are supported for inference with xgboost's model.
//!    See [Loss](enum.Loss.html). (default = SquareError)
//!
//! 9. debug: whether the debug information should be outputed. (default = false)
//!
//! 10. initial_guess_enabled: whether initial guess for test data is enabled. (default = false)
//!
//!
//! # Example
//! ```rust
//! use gbdt::config::Config;
//! let mut cfg = Config::new();
//! cfg.set_feature_size(4);
//! cfg.set_max_depth(3);
//! cfg.set_iterations(3);
//! cfg.set_loss("LAD");
//! println!("{}", cfg.to_string());
//!
//! // output
//! // number of features = 4
//! // min leaf size = 1
//! // maximum depth = 3
//! // iterations = 3
//! // shrinkage = 1
//! // feature sample ratio = 1
//! // data sample ratio = 1
//! // debug enabled = false
//! // loss type = LAD
//! // initial guess enabled = false
//! ```

/// This enum defines the loss type.
///
/// We support three loss types for training and inference:
///
/// 1. SquaredError for regression. The label and the predicted value will be a float number.
/// 2. LogLikelyhood for binary classification. The label value should be -1 or 1. The predicted value should be a float number between 0 and 1, which is the possibility of label 1.
/// 3. LAD for regression. The label and the predicted value will be a float number.
///
/// Note that `LogLikelyhood` only support binary classification.
///
/// We also suppot seven objectives from Xgboost for inference. See [xgboost](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/parameter.html)
/// 1. RegLinear ("reg:linear" in xgboost): linear regression.
/// 2. RegLogistic ("reg:logistic" in xgboost): logistic regression.
/// 3. BinaryLogistic ("binary:logistic" in xgboost): logistic regression for binary classification, output probability
/// 4. BinaryLogitraw ("binary:logitraw" in xgboost): logistic regression for binary classification, output score before logistic transformation
/// 5. MultiSoftprob ("multi:softprob" in xgboost):  multiclass classification. Call [gbdt::predict_multiclass](../gradient_boost/struct.GBDT.html#method.predict_multiclass) to get the predictions.
/// 6. MultiSoftmax ("multi:softmax" in xgboost): multiclass classification. Call [gbdt::predict_multiclass](../gradient_boost/struct.GBDT.html#method.predict_multiclass) to get the predictions.
/// 7. RankPairwise ("rank:pairwise" in xgboost): pairwise rank. See [xgboost's demo](https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/tree/master/demo/rank)
