@malik I do not think the H2O XGBoost integration is yet on knime since it was [only available on Mac/Intel and Linux](https://docs.h2o.ai/h2o/latest-stable/h2o-docs/data-science/xgboost.html) at least until recently

One can also try and combine that with some hyper parameter optimization: In a lot of cases it will not be a question of 0.84 vs 0.85 which might shift some anyway but to think about what to do and where to make the cut for a prescribed action and also integrate some cost estimations.

But you could use it with the python integration and knime.
