XGBoost is a powerful and popular implementation of the gradient boosting ensemble algorithm. An important aspect in configuring XGBoost models is the choice of loss function that is minimized during the training of the model. The loss function must be matched to the predictive modeling problem type, in the same way we must choose appropriate […]
