r-lightgbm

Light gradient boosting machine

Tree based algorithms can be improved by introducing boosting frameworks. LightGBM is one such framework, based on Ke, Guolin et al. (2017). This package offers an R interface to work with it. It is designed to be distributed and efficient with the following goals:

  1. Faster training speed and higher efficiency;

  2. lower memory usage;

  3. better accuracy;

  4. parallel learning supported; and

  5. capable of handling large-scale data.
