Description: Extreme Gradient Boosting, which is an efficient
        implementation of the gradient boosting framework from Chen &
        Guestrin (2016) <doi:10.1145/2939672.2939785>. This package is
        its R interface. The package includes efficient linear model
        solver and tree learning algorithms. The package can
        automatically do parallel computation on a single machine which
        could be more than 10 times faster than existing gradient
        boosting packages. It supports various objective functions,
        including regression, classification and ranking. The package
        is made to be extensible, so that users are also allowed to
        define their own objectives easily.
