The Magic of XGBoost

XGBoost stands for eXtreme Gradient Boosted trees. It is an ensemble machine learning method. In this type of learning, the base weak learners, working in a chained sequence, learn from each other's mistakes and try to achieve good results with small improvements. Ensemble learning algorithms are super powerful and XGBoost is the superstar. It is widely used because of its ease of use, speed, and achievement. It works for both regression and classification problems and there's a really good chance that it is going to prove to be the best model to fit your data.
