    I checked the code, and it seems that it occurs while preparing histograms
    More interestingly, when I set missing to some number, e.g. -9999 for xgboost modeling parameters and pass a dataset that doesn't have missing values, AUC drops to 0.5 from 0.65. This is possibly an unrelated issue, but it seems handling of missing values causes multiple problems

    import xgboost gives the warning cross_validation.py:41: DeprecationWarning: This module was deprecated in version 0.18 in favor of the model_selection module into which all the refactored classes and functions are moved. Also note that the interface of the new CV iterators are different from that of this module. This module will be removed in 0.20.
    but it looks like it should be fixed in rhiever/tpot#284
    was that never merged?

    Hi, everybody! Could someone help me with a xgboost parameters. I have the following code: 
    xgb = XGBRegressor(n_estimators=1000, silent=0)
xgb.fit(train.as_matrix(), trainY, verbose=1, eval_metric="rmse")
P = xgb.predict(test.as_matrix())
    it doesn't output RMSE metric during training. Where am I wrong?

    Hi
    i was looking to build xgboost from source
    just wanted to know if anyone on the group has tried doing it before?
    Ketan Kunde
    @KetanKunde_twitter
    also just wanted to confirm whether this is 100% open source

    Hello. Does anyone know if i can slice xgboost's DMatrix by column or block certain features from being used in specific train instance?
    Chris Chow
    @ckchow
    @Goorman it's probably easier to make a new DMatrix with those rows removed or censored in whatever way you need.

    @lesshaste
    how can you use the pearson correlation coefficient as the loss function with the xgboost regressor?
    Guryanov Alexey
    @Goorman
    @ckchow you have probably meant columns removed and yes this is the only solution i see right now. The problem is that i have to construct DMatrix from sparse libsvm file, and for example to perform greedy feature selection i would have to create new (big) libsvm file every iteration. Which is annoying.
    Chris Chow
    @ckchow
    Oh, I see. can't you construct DMatrices in memory from arrays of arrays?
    Chris Chow
    @ckchow
    At least in Java there is a float[][] constructor, and I think there's a numpy constructor in python as well. might be out of luck if you're using the command line version.

    hi... does anyone understand why xgboost is so slow if you have lots of classes? This code shows the problem https://bpaste.net/show/f7573b5a2fb9 RandomForestClassifier takes about 15 seconds
    but xgboost never terminates at all for me

    I am training a binary classifier.
    In the problem I am working on,
    I can generate more training data at will.
    In that by running a simulation I can (determenistically) determine the correct label for any feature set
    Each training case takes a bit to generate (say 0.5 seconds).
    The main motivation for training a classifier is that evaluating via simulation takes too long.
    Is there a specific way to task advantage of my capacity to generate more data, that I can do in xgboosting,
    that I couldn't do with say a SVM?
    Its almost an Active Learning problem

    @oxinabox
    I'm not sure if there is anything beyond: "Generate more data, both for training and validation , until the validation error hits 0"

    Hi everyone! Could anyone explain what are the arguments of a custom loss function?

    Is there a built-in way to run XGBoost with a weighted mean square loss function?
    Something like ∑i=1Dwi(yi−y^i)2 \sum_{i=1}^D w_i(y_i-\hat{y}_i)^2

    is there a general reason why xgboost predict returns only nan?
    this is for python

    For XGBoost, when considering time series data, is it worth creating features which represent a change in other features? For example, say I have the feature "total_active_users". Would it make sense to have a feature "change_in_total_active_users"? Or, would that just be redundant?

    I used xgboost4j-0.80.jar, xgboost train parameter of round is 800 and train data is 2000000. When I use predictleaf to get leafIndex, the jvm crashed.
