XGBoost-AS node (SPSS Modeler)

XGBoost-AS node

XGBoost© is an advanced implementation of a gradient boosting algorithm. Boosting algorithms iteratively learn weak classifiers and then add them to a final strong classifier. XGBoost is very flexible and provides many parameters that can be overwhelming to most users, so the XGBoost-AS node in Watson Studio exposes the core features and commonly used parameters. The XGBoost-AS node is implemented in Spark.

For more information about boosting algorithms, see the XGBoost Tutorials. 1

Note that the XGBoost cross-validation function is not supported in Watson Studio. You can use the Partition node for this functionality. Also note that XGBoost in Watson Studio performs one-hot encoding automatically for categorical variables.

Notes:
  • On Mac, version 10.12.3 or higher is required for building XGBoost-AS models.
  • XGBoost isn't supported on IBM POWER.
