turicreate.boosted_trees_regression.BoostedTreesRegression

class turicreate.boosted_trees_regression.BoostedTreesRegression(proxy)

Encapsulates gradient boosted trees for regression tasks.

The prediction is based on a collection of base learners, regression trees.

Different from linear models, e.g. linear regression, the gradient boost trees model is able to model non-linear interactions between the features and the target using decision trees as the subroutine. It is good for handling numerical features and categorical features with tens of categories but is less suitable for highly sparse features such as text data.

This model cannot be constructed directly. Instead, use turicreate.boosted_trees_regression.create() to create an instance of this model. A detailed list of parameter options and code samples are available in the documentation for the create function.
