XGBoost Metrics

Good day fellow community members

Is there a way one can extract further metrics from the xgboost learners.

I would like to get metrics about the features the model uses such as Gain, Coverage and Weight.

Please follow the link to understand what these are used for:

Has anyone calculated these with xgboost in KNIME before?

Thanks for your support!

Hello @MichaelBennett,

unfortunately, this is currently not possible but this is among the features we are planning to add to our XGBoost integration. I can’t make any promises when this will happen but I’ll let you know as soon as I know more.

Cheers,

Adrian
