//! This module implements the process of gradient boosting decision tree
//! algorithm. This module depends on the following module:
//!
//! 1. [gbdt::config::Config](../config/): [Config](../config/struct.Config.html) is needed to configure the gbdt algorithm.
//!
//! 2. [gbdt::decision_tree](../decision_tree/): [DecisionTree](../decision_tree/struct.DecisionTree.html) is used
//!    for training and predicting.
//!
//! 3. [rand](https://docs.rs/rand/0.6.1/rand/): This standard module is used to randomly select the data or
//!    features used in a single iteration of training if the
//!    [data_sample_ratio](../config/struct.Config.html#structfield.data_sample_ratio) or
//!    [feature_sample_ratio](../config/struct.Config.html#structfield.feature_sample_ratio) is less than 1.0 .
//!
//! # Example
//! ```rust
//! use gbdt::config::Config;
//! use gbdt::gradient_boost::GBDT;
//! use gbdt::decision_tree::{Data, DataVec};
//!
//! // set config for algorithm
//! let mut cfg = Config::new();
//! cfg.set_feature_size(3);
//! cfg.set_max_depth(2);
//! cfg.set_min_leaf_size(1);
//! cfg.set_loss("SquaredError");
//! cfg.set_iterations(2);
//!
//! // initialize GBDT algorithm
//! let mut gbdt = GBDT::new(&cfg);
//!
//! // setup training data
//! let data1 = Data::new_training_data (
//!     vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
//!     1.0,
//!     1.0,
//!     None
//! );
//! let data2 = Data::new_training_data (
//!     vec![1.1, 2.1, 3.1],
//!     1.0,
//!     1.0,
//!     None
//! );
//! let data3 = Data::new_training_data (
//!     vec![2.0, 2.0, 1.0],
//!     1.0,
//!     2.0,
//!     None
//! );
//! let data4 = Data::new_training_data (
//!     vec![2.0, 2.3, 1.2],
//!     1.0,
//!     0.0,
//!     None
//! );
//!

//! training_data.push(data1.clone());
//! training_data.push(data2.clone());
//! training_data.push(data3.clone());
//! training_data.push(data4.clone());
//!
//! // train the decision trees.
//! gbdt.fit(&mut training_data);
//!
//! // setup the test data
//!
//! let mut test_data: DataVec = Vec::new();
//! test_data.push(data1.clone());
//! test_data.push(data2.clone());
//! test_data.push(Data::new_test_data(
