Gradient Boosting

NeuronDB supports XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost for gradient boosting.

XGBoost

Train an XGBoost model:

-- XGBoost classifier
SELECT train_xgboost_classifier(
    'training_table',
    'features',
    'label',
    '{"max_depth": 6, "n_estimators": 100}'::jsonb
);

-- XGBoost regressor
SELECT train_xgboost_regressor(
    'training_table',
    'features',
    'target',
    '{}'::jsonb
);

LightGBM

-- LightGBM classifier
SELECT train_lightgbm_classifier(
    'training_table',
    'features',
    'label',
    '{"num_leaves": 31}'::jsonb
);

CatBoost

-- CatBoost classifier
SELECT train_catboost_classifier(
    'training_table',
    'features',
    'label',
    '{}'::jsonb
);

Prediction

-- Predict with trained model
SELECT id,
       xgboost_predict(features, 'model_name') AS prediction
FROM test_table;
