  • Owner changed from gkronber to mkommend
  • Status changed from assigned to reviewing

Only the branch "GBT-trunkintegration" has to be reviewed.

The following changesets have been applied only to GBT-trunkintegration: r12585 (create branch) r12587:12591 (remove everything unnecessary and adapt to current trunk version) r12597 r12607 r12611 r12619 r12620 r12623 r12632 r12635

Reviewing comments

TODO

Lineasearch for logistic loss function GradientBoostedTreesAlgorithm GradientBoostedTreesAlgorithmStatic Finish RegressionTreeBuilder

What about weights for the linesearches in the loss functions? Either they are not supported or ignored~~

I guess it would be better to remove them completely. No big issue to add them later again. (r12696)

RegressionTreeModel.cs

  • The tree should not be public accessible and modifyable (clone in default ctor, no shallow cloning) (r12658)

TreeNode

GradientBoostedTreesModel.cs

  • Is line 66 really necessary? What about !rows.Any() return Enumerable.Empty<double>(); (r12660)

RegressionTreeBuilder.cs

  • Why is it necessary to change y? As a result multiple calls to CreateRegressionTree and CreateRegressionTreeForGradientBoosting yield different, wrong results!!!
  • Couldn't be the RegressionTreeBuilder be implemented as a stateless static class?
  • The whole class is not thread-safe

    Yes. GradientBoostedTreesAlgorithmStatic is the stateless thread-safe facade for RegressionTreeBuilder RegressionTreeBuilder should be an internal class (r12661)
