Does Gradient Boosting perform n-ary splits where n > 2?
I wonder whether algorithms such as GBM, XGBoost, CatBoost, and LightGBM perform more than two splits at a node in the decision trees? Can a node be split into 3 or more branches instead of merely ...

DecisionTreeRegressor under the hood of GradientBoostingClassifier
I'm inspecting the weak estimators of my GradientBoostingClassifier model. This model was fit on a binary class dataset.
I noticed that all the weak estimators under this ensemble classifier are ...

Which other algorithms fit residuals like XGBoost? [closed]
XGBoost and standard gradient boosting train learners to fit the residuals rather than the observations themselves. I understand that this aspect of the algorithm matches the boosting mechanism which ...

Output value of a gradient boosting decision tree node that has just a single example in it
The general gradient boosting algorithm for tree-based classifiers is as follows:
Input: training set $\{(x_{i},y_{i})\}_{i=1}^{n}$, a differentiable loss function $L(y,F(x))$, and a number of ...

Can Boosted Trees predict below the minimum value of the training label?
I am using gradient Gradient Boosted Trees (with Catboost) for a Regression task. Can GBtrees predict a label that is below the minimum (or above the max) that was seen in the training ?
For instance ...

Why would GradientBoostClassifier do better than XGBoostClassifier? [duplicate]
I am working on the Kaggle home loan model and interestingly enough, the GradientBoostClassifier has a considerably better score than XGBClassifier. At the same time it seems to not overfit as much. (...
