XGBoost Part 1 (of 4): Regression

XGBoost is an extreme machine learning algorithm, and that means it's got lots of parts. In this video, we focus on the unique regression trees that XGBoost uses when applied to Regression problems.

NOTE: This StatQuest assumes that you are already familiar with...
The main ideas behind Gradient Boost for Regression: https://youtu.be/3CC4N4z3GJc
...and the main ideas behind Regularization: https://youtu.be/Q81RR3yKn30

Also note, this StatQuest is based on the following sources:
The original XGBoost manuscript: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.02754.pdf
And the XGBoost Documentation: https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

⭐ NOTE: When I code, I use Kite, a free AI-powered coding assistant that will help you code faster and smarter. The Kite plugin integrates with all the top editors and IDEs to give you smart completions and documentation while you’re typing. I love it! https://www.kite.com/get-kite/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=statquest&utm_content=description-only
