class GBTRegressor extends Regressor[Vector, GBTRegressor, GBTRegressionModel] with GBTRegressorParams with DefaultParamsWritable with Logging

Gradient-Boosted Trees (GBTs) learning algorithm for regression. It supports both continuous and categorical features.

The implementation is based upon: J.H. Friedman. "Stochastic Gradient Boosting." 1999.

Notes on Gradient Boosting vs. TreeBoost:

  • This implementation is for Stochastic Gradient Boosting, not for TreeBoost.
  • Both algorithms learn tree ensembles by minimizing loss functions.
  • TreeBoost (Friedman, 1999) additionally modifies the outputs at tree leaf nodes based on the loss function, whereas the original gradient boosting method does not.
    • When the loss is SquaredError, these methods give the same result, but they could differ for other loss functions.
  • We expect to implement TreeBoost in the future: [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4240]

    The number of features to consider for splits at each tree node. Supported options:

    • "auto": Choose automatically for task: If numTrees == 1, set to "all." If numTrees greater than 1 (forest), set to "sqrt" for classification and to "onethird" for regression.
    • "all": use all features
    • "onethird": use 1/3 of the features
    • "sqrt": use sqrt(number of features)
    • "log2": use log2(number of features)
    • "n": when n is in the range (0, 1.0], use n * number of features. When n is in the range (1, number of features), use n features. (default = "auto")

    These various settings are based on the following references:

    • log2: tested in Breiman (2001)
    • sqrt: recommended by Breiman manual for random forests
    • The defaults of sqrt (classification) and onethird (regression) match the R randomForest package.

    Check transform validity and derive the output schema from the input schema.

    We check validity for interactions between parameters during transformSchema and raise an exception if any parameter value is invalid. Parameter value checks which do not depend on other parameters are handled by Param.validate().

    Typical implementation should first conduct verification on schema change and parameter validity, including complex parameter interaction checks.

    Threshold for stopping early when fit with validation is used. (This parameter is ignored when fit without validation is used.) The decision to stop early is decided based on this logic: If the current loss on the validation set is greater than 0.01, the diff of validation error is compared to relative tolerance which is validationTol * (current loss on the validation set). If the current loss on the validation set is less than or equal to 0.01, the diff of validation error is compared to absolute tolerance which is validationTol * 0.01.
