XGBoost: An Intuitive Explanation

We all know how XGBoost dominates in Kaggle competitions due to its performance and speed. This blog is about understanding how XGBoost works (try to explain the research paper). This blog is not about how to code/ implement XGboost or how to tune its hyperparameters. XGBoost stands for eXtreme Gradient Boosting. It explains bagging (bootstrap aggregating) and boosting (Adaptive Boosting).
