Section 2: XGBoost
XGBoost is reintroduced and examined in depth by looking at the general framework, including base models, speed enhancements, mathematical derivations, and the original Python API. XGBoost hyperparameters are analyzed, summarized, and fine-tuned in detail. Scientifically relevant case studies provide ample practice in building and fine-tuning powerful XGBoost models to correct weight imbalances and insufficient scores.
This section comprises the following chapters:
Chapter 5, XGBoost Unveiled
Chapter 6, XGBoost Hyperparameters
Chapter 7, Discovering Exoplanets with XGBoost
