Hi Ashok, What I think is, there is no need to check for training accuracy. This is a redundant approach. The reason is the model is trained on the training data. So obviously the accuracy, whatever the hyperparameter tuning we do, is more likely to be close to 1.0. The better approach is to just focus on the test data. In real time scenario , for a problem statement, we would be feeding unseen data to the model and then fine - tune the hyper parameter. Thanks for the tutorial. Thanks from KM
Just for discussion… I think the purpose for calculating training performance is to compare it with test performance and see if there is any overfitting, otherwise how would you know ? Also I don’t think accuracy is a good measure here, AUC might be a better one, just my 2 cents
Thank you and excellent way with detailed elaboration, of each parameters for Hyper parameter tuning) explained very well, finally in got the topic of hyper parameter tuning concept
Great explaplnation Sir! How can I provide batches of Images by using data generator for image dataset to Xgb classifier model to fit images and labels ??
Hi Sai Akhil Katukam, Thanks for your comment. If you want to use softmax and define the number of class in xgboost you need to put the following parameter while building the model... from xgboost.sklearn import XGBClassifier XGBClassifier(objective= 'multi:softmax', num_class=4,...)

It appears that the target variable, y, is limited to nx1 array for making predictions using XGBOOST. Could the target variable, y, be a nXm, where m > 1, array ?
Sir this problems also in the gradient boosting? Am i correct? If it in, we can do as you explained. If no, what have we da sir? Thank you sir, your videos are amazing ❤️
Such an informative video about the tunning of xgboost hyperparameter. My question is, can we extract mathematical equation for the input and output parameters. For instance, I have successfully applied Xgboost regression to predict y parameter using X1, X2, X3, X4 input parameters, now how can I get the xgboost's predicting equation between those input and output parameters. Please provide the information in this manner
If your train accuracy is 1 and test accuracy is 0.97 how can you say that the model is overfitted ? The model is clearly performing very well on the test data. What you can do is perform k-fold cross validation to be more sure that it gives high accuracy on various test sets .... But having high train and test accuracies is not overfitting, it means that the data is relatively simple for the model to learn.
increase learning rate makes the algorithm learn faster but at the cost of accuracy and does not dicrease the sensitivity contributed by a single point by a great amount, and thus does not generalises the model well and leads to overfitting in some cases
Hey, i ve got a question, say if i use a correlation matrix, and manually deselect the feature that are ambiguous(neutral), can i still put the col sample as 1?? Great tutorial man
Thank you! Are the parameters for XGBClassifier similar for the XGBRegressor? I can look at the documentations on my own, but it’s late at night for me and I can’t sleep thinking about it but i also don’t want to get sucked back into my project (i fixate XD) and i need to sleep hahah… Thank you again though! The video really helped me. I’m only 3 months into learning data science with python so it feels good every time i finally piece things together.

Hi , yes Heshini
Is knowing the math behind algorithm must or just knowing that how algorithms works is enough? please please please give a reply.

Yes possible, you can use multioutputregressor as a wrapper on xgboost
What is min_child_weight and its significance?
Hi, please refer to this documentation. xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/parameter.html
Hi, what about gamma, don't you use it ? I think it's the only important missing here.
I guess since he is already using max_depth just 2-3, he doesn't need much of a pruning parameter for the trees, I guess. Your thoughts?
@@vikasrajput1957 Surely, and you can tune parameters differently with gamma too, I just think in term of education he should mention it 😅😊

There is explanation of what they. Hoping you would a video in more detail

Amazing video it would be better if you could use a different dataset so we can see the effects of the different parameters better.

Yes it could be a simple dataset. But we can validate this model using cross validation to see if model overfits.
Thank you, Mr. Veda! This is really helpful. I have a question: is there an efficient way to tune these parameters automaticall?.
Hi Ava Olsen, you can automate the tuning of hyper parameter using python scripts. Or you can have a look in automl.
@@DataMites Hi, what about GridCV?
grid search cv
But grid can is resource/time consuming. Is there an efficient way to do it?
Very good explanation and test strategy, thank you so much sir
All the best
can you do a full video of time series forecasting for any future prediction using previous data? (Using XGBoost)
We will definitely do in future. Thank you
increase learning rate makes the algorithm learn faster but at the cost of accuracy and does not dicrease the sensitivity contributed by a single point by a great amount, and thus does not generalises the model well and leads to overfitting in some cases
That is what convergence of algorithm means.

Training accuracy was 1 don't u think it's a overfit
Yes. Hyperparameter tuning will help to overcome that. But as said, this is a very small dataset.
nice
Thank you.

Hi Shashank Gupta, thank you for your suggestion but this dataset is working good for this task.

Better to make this on a real dataset, that's how this video could be better.
