When training a decision tree, we need to tell the algorithm how\n", "large the tree may get.

If you only allow short\n", "trees, the models are likely not very precise - they underfit the data. If you allow\n", "very large trees, the single models are likely to overfit to the data. In practice,\n", "a number between `2` and `6` is often a good starting point for this parameter.\n", "\n", "XGBoost's default value is `3`.\n", "\n", "### Minimum child weight\n", "\n", "When a decision tree creates new leaves, it splits up the remaining data at one node\n", "into two groups. If there are only few samples in one of these groups, it often\n", "doesn't make sense to split it further. One of the reasons for this is that the\n", "model is harder to train when we have fewer samples.\n", "\n", ":::{figure} /images/tune-xgboost-weight.svg\n", ":align: center\n", ":alt: Minimum child weight\n", "\n", "In this example, we start with 100 examples. At the first node, they are split\n", "into 4 and 96 samples, respectively. In the next step, our model might find\n", "that it doesn't make sense to split the 4 examples more. It thus only continues\n", "to add leaves on the right side.\n", ":::\n", "\n", "The parameter used by the model to decide if it makes sense to split a node is called\n", "the *minimum child weight*. In the case of linear regression, this is just the absolute\n", "number of nodes requried in each child. In other objectives, this value is determined\n", "using the weights of the examples, hence the name.\n", "\n", "The larger the value, the more constrained the trees are and the less deep they will be.\n", "This parameter thus also affects the model complexity. Values can range between 0\n", "and infinity and are dependent on the sample size. For our ca. 500 examples in the\n", "breast cancer dataset, values between `0` and `10` should be sensible.\n", "\n", "XGBoost's default value is `1`.\n", "\n", "### Subsample size\n", "\n", "Each decision tree we add is trained on a subsample of the total training dataset.\n", "The probabilities for the samples are weighted according to the XGBoost algorithm,\n", "but we can decide on which fraction of the samples we want to train each decision\n", "tree on.\n", "\n", "Setting this value to `0.7` would mean that we randomly sample `70%` of the\n", "training dataset before each training iteration.\n", "\n", "XGBoost's default value is `1`.\n", "\n", "### Learning rate / Eta\n", "\n", "Remember that XGBoost sequentially trains many decision trees, and that later trees\n", "are more likely trained on data that has been misclassified by prior trees. In effect\n", "this means that earlier trees make decisions for easy samples (i.e. those samples that\n", "can easily be classified) and later trees make decisions for harder samples. It is then\n", "sensible to assume that the later trees are less accurate than earlier trees.\n", "\n", "To address this fact, XGBoost uses a parameter called *Eta*, which is sometimes called\n", "the *learning rate*. Don't confuse this with learning rates from gradient descent!\n", "The original [paper on stochastic gradient boosting](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222573328_Stochastic_Gradient_Boosting)\n", "introduces this parameter like so:\n", "\n", "$$\n", "F_m(x) = F_{m-1}(x) + \\eta \\cdot \\gamma_{lm} \\textbf{1}(x \\in R_{lm})\n", "$$\n", "\n", "This is just a complicated way to say that when we train we new decision tree,\n", "represented by $\\gamma_{lm} \\textbf{1}(x \\in R_{lm})$, we want to dampen\n", "its effect on the previous prediction $F_{m-1}(x)$ with a factor\n", "$\\eta$.\n", "\n", "Typical values for this parameter are between `0.01` and `` 0.3` ``.\n", "\n", "XGBoost's default value is `0.3`.\n", "\n", "### Number of boost rounds\n", "\n", "Lastly, we can decide on how many boosting rounds we perform, which means how\n", "many decision trees we ultimately train.
