A Journey through XGBoost: Milestone 1

Welcome to another article series! This time, we are discussing XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) -- The leading and the most preferred machine learning algorithm among data scientists in the 21st century. Most people say XGBoost is a money-making algorithm because it easily outperforms any other algorithms, gives the best possible scores and helps its users to claim luxury cash prizes from data science competitions. The topic we are discussing is broad and important so that we discuss it through a series of articles. It is like a journey, maybe a long journey for newcomers.
