XGBOOST -- IN A NUTSHELL

XGBoost stands for "Extreme Gradient Boosting". It is a decision tree-based algorithm which is used in Machine Learning. XGBoost makes use of the gradient boosting framework. Decision Trees are structures that consists of a set of leaf nodes, branches as well as internal nodes. Each leaf node represents a Class Label. The internal node represents the attributes while the branches connect the leaves to these internal nodes.
