Page Summary
The
ee.Classifier.smileGradientTreeBoostmethod creates an empty Gradient Tree Boost classifier.This method takes arguments such as the number of trees, shrinkage, sampling rate, max nodes, loss function, and seed, and returns a Classifier object.
The number of trees and the loss function are key parameters for configuring the classifier.
The provided examples demonstrate training and evaluating a gradient boosting classifier using Earth Engine in both JavaScript and Python.
| Usage | Returns |
|---|---|
ee.Classifier.smileGradientTreeBoost(numberOfTrees,shrinkage,samplingRate,maxNodes,loss,seed) | Classifier |
| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
numberOfTrees | Integer | The number of decision trees to create. |
shrinkage | Float, default: 0.005 | The shrinkage parameter in (0, 1] controls the learning rate of procedure. |
samplingRate | Float, default: 0.7 | The sampling rate for stochastic tree boosting. |
maxNodes | Integer, default: null | The maximum number of leaf nodes in each tree. If unspecified, defaults to no limit. |
loss | String, default: "LeastAbsoluteDeviation" | Loss function for regression. One of: LeastSquares, LeastAbsoluteDeviation, Huber. |
seed | Integer, default: 0 | The randomization seed. |
