# Hands-On Gradient Boosting with XGBoost and scikit-learn

This is the code repository for [Hands-On Gradient Boosting with XGBoost and scikit-learn](https://www.packtpub.com/product/hands-on-gradient-boosting-with-xgboost-and-scikit-learn/9781839218354), published by Packt.

**Perform accessible machine learning and extreme gradient boosting with Python**

## What is this book about?
XGBoost is an industry-proven, open-source software library that provides a gradient boosting framework for scaling billions of data points quickly and efficiently.

This book covers the following exciting features: <First 5 What you'll learn points>
* Build gradient boosting models from scratch
* Develop XGBoost regressors and classifiers with accuracy and speed
* Analyze variance and bias in terms of fine-tuning XGBoost hyperparameters
* Automatically correct missing values and scale imbalanced data
* Apply alternative base learners like dart, linear models, and XGBoost random forests
