Gradient Boosting regression
============================

This example demonstrates Gradient Boosting to produce a predictive
model from an ensemble of weak predictive models. Gradient boosting can be used
for regression and classification problems. Here, we will train a model to
tackle a diabetes regression task. We will obtain the results from
:class:`~sklearn.ensemble.GradientBoostingRegressor` with least squares loss
and 500 regression trees of depth 4.

Note: For larger datasets (n_samples >= 10000), please refer to
:class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor`. See
:ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_ensemble_plot_hgbt_regression.py` for an example
showcasing some other advantages of
:class:`~ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor`.

# Data preprocessing
# -------------------------------------
#
# Next, we will split our dataset to use 90% for training and leave the rest
# for testing. We will also set the regression model parameters. You can play
# with these parameters to see how the results change.
#
# `n_estimators` : the number of boosting stages that will be performed.
# Later, we will plot deviance against boosting iterations.
#
# `max_depth` : limits the number of nodes in the tree.
# The best value depends on the interaction of the input variables.
#
# `min_samples_split` : the minimum number of samples required to split an
# internal node.
#
# `learning_rate` : how much the contribution of each tree will shrink.
#
# `loss` : loss function to optimize. The least squares function is  used in
# this case however, there are many other options (see
# :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.GradientBoostingRegressor` ).

# Plot feature importance
# -----------------------
#
# .. warning::
#    Careful, impurity-based feature importances can be misleading for
#    **high cardinality** features (many unique values). As an alternative,
#    the permutation importances of ``reg`` can be computed on a
#    held out test set. See :ref:`permutation_importance` for more details.
#
# For this example, the impurity-based and permutation methods identify the
# same 2 strongly predictive features but not in the same order. The third most
# predictive feature, "bp", is also the same for the 2 methods. The remaining
# features are less predictive and the error bars of the permutation plot
# show that they overlap with 0.
