XGBoost is an extreme machine learning algorithm, and that means it's got lots of parts. In this video, we focus on the unique regression trees that XGBoost uses when applied to Regression problems.
NOTE: This StatQuest assumes that you are already familiar with...
The main ideas behind Gradient Boost for Regression: • Gradient Boost Part 1 ...
...and the main ideas behind Regularization: • Regularization Part 1:...
Also note, this StatQuest is based on the following sources:
The original XGBoost manuscript: arxiv.org/pdf/1603.02754.pdf
And the XGBoost Documentation: xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/lat...

0:00 Awesome song and introduction
2:35 The initial prediction
3:11 Building an XGBoost Tree for regression
4:07 Calculating Similarity Scores
8:23 Calculating Gain to evaluate different thresholds
13:02 Pruning an XGBoost Tree
15:15 Building an XGBoost Tree with regularization
19:29 Calculating output values for an XGBoost Tree
21:39 Making predictions with XGBoost
23:54 Summary of concepts and main ideas
Corrections:
16:50 I say "66", but I meant to say "62.48". However, either way, the conclusion is the same.
22:03 In the original XGBoost documents they use the epsilon symbol to refer to the learning rate, but in the actual implementation, this is controlled via the "eta" parameter. So, I guess to be consistent with the original documentation, I made the same mistake! :)

Terminology alert!! "eta" refers to the greek letter Η(upper case)/η(lower case), it is one of the greek's many "ee" sounds(as in wheeeeee), it's definitely not epsilon.

This has been one video I’ve been waiting for and it was well worth it. Brilliant as usual Josh. I wanted to ask about the differences between the XGBoost regression tree and the traditional regression tree with Boosting. It seems that the main difference is that the XGBoost version uses the gain measure (made of similarity) to determine the split thresholds for each feature (I presume if we had more than dosage we would consider them in the same way) and prunes according to the gamma parameter. Whereas the traditional tree uses a measure like Gini impurity to split and a method like cost complexity pruning. Is that the main difference? Or are there any more? Could you also mention why this type of tree is better than the traditional version? It seems like the algorithm has some optimisation for this type of tree than the other.
@statquest
@statquest 4 жыл бұрын
There are lots of differences, however, the fundamental difference in trees is a big one. I believe the reason for XGBoost trees is that the computation can be easily optimized compared to traditional regression trees. The other major differences are optimizations for very large datasets - XGBoost was one of the first machine learning algorithms developed specifically for "big data" so it has tricks for working with datasets that can't all fit into memory. I'll talk about these in Part 4 (part is how XGBoost trees work for classification and part 3 derives the math and theory that underlies XGBoost trees.).

I've been using Random Forests with various boosting techniques for a few years. My regression (not classification) database has 500,000 - 5,000,000 data points with 50-150 variables, many of them highly correlated with some of the others. I like to "brag" that I can overfit anything. That, of course, is a problem, but I've found a tweak that is simple and fast that I haven't seen elsewhere. The basic idea is that when selecting a split point, pick a small number of data vectors randomly from the training set. Pick the variable(s) to split on randomly. (Variables plural because I usually split on 2-4 variables into 2^^n boosting regions - another useful tweak.) The thresholds are whatever the data values are for the selected vectors. Find the vector with the best "gain" and split with that. I typically use 5 - 100 tries per split and a learning rate of .5 or so. It's fast and mitigates the overfitting problem. Just thought someone might be interested...

For my future reference. 1) Initiate with a predicted value e.g. 0.5. 2) Get residual. Each sample vs. initial predicted value. 3) Build a mini tree, using the Residuals value of each sample. .Residuals .Different values of feature as cut off point at branches. Each value give a set of Similarity and Gain scores ..Similarity (use lambda here, the regularisation parameter) - measure how close the residual values to each other ..Gain (affected by lamda) .Pick the feature value that give highest gain - this determines how to split the data - which create the branch (and leaves) - which produce a mini tree. 4) Prune tree. Using gain threshold (aka complexity parameter), gamma. If gain>gamma, keep branch, else prune 5) Get Output Value OV for each leaf. Mini tree done. OV = sum of Residuals / (no. of Residuals + lambda) 6) Predict value for each sample using the newly created mini tree. Run each sample data through the mini tree. New Predicted value = last predicted value + eta * OV 7) Get new set of residual: New predicted value vs actual value of each sample. 8) Re do from step 3. Create more mini trees... .Each tree 'boosts' the prediction - improving the result. .Each tree creates new residual as input to creating the next new tree. ...until no more improvement or no. of tree is reached.

Could be improved by adding how the decision cut off point is made.

@@statquest Thank you :) One more question - I was reading Light GBM documentationand it said Light GBM grows "leaf wise" where as most DT algorithm grow "level wise" and that is a major advantage of Light GBM. But in your videos ( RF and other DT algortihm ones ), all of the videos show that they are grown "leaf wise". Am I missing miunderstanding something here ?

Thanks for the wonderful content! How does xgboost select which feature to split on? As I understand from the explanation, does each feature have its own full tree unlike bootstrapped subset in random forest that has multiple features used in a subset tree?

To select which feature to split on, XGBoost tests each feature in the dataset to selects the one the performs the best.

Hi Josh, Great explanation and it helped me understand every tiny bit of complex methods used in it. But I want to know one thing that you only considered one independent variable for building the individual trees. If we have more than 1 independent variable like you used in the previous explanations of ada boost and gradient boost. Do we use the same methods as the Gini index or information gain to decide the variable's importance to make the split? Thank you
@statquest
@statquest 4 жыл бұрын
XGBoost trees are fit to residuals, which are always continuous values, and this makes them incompatible with GINI and that only works if the values are "true" or "false". So, for each independent variable in our dataset XGBoost calculates the similarity scores, based on how the residuals are clustered, and the gain for different splits. The variable with the largest gain value is the one XGBoost uses for the split.

Hey Josh, I remember in your regression tree vid you mentioned that after we split the root node, the subsequent splits of the child nodes only happen if its size is greater than a typical threshold (~20) to prevent overfitting, e.g. if a node has size < 20, then we take the average value and make it a leaf. Does XGBoost do the same for an actual dataset, and does it also do the random forest thing where it randomly selects m from p features (where m~root(p)) when generating the individual splits for each tree? thanks!
@statquest
@statquest 2 жыл бұрын
In practice, XGBoost has options for both (requiring a minimum number of samples in a node in order to make a split, and randomly selecting features at each node).
