Joint NC BERD Seminar: Introduction to XGBoost

Amanda will provide an overview of Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), a modern machine-learning algorithm, and will walk through an example R workflow that applies XGBoost to a supervised learning task. This seminar will demonstrate how to implement XGBoost along with several benchmark predictive modeling methods, and will compare the methods on predictive performance and interpretability.
