This is a major release, with breaking API changes:
- The random forest package is now lightgbm
- Much more lightweight (serialized kernels tend to be 5x smaller or more)
- Much faster on big datasets (for comparable parameters)
- More flexible... We can now use gbdt if we wish. lightgbm is more flexible in general.
- Added a mean_match_subset parameter. This will help greatly speed up many processes.
- mean_match_candidates now lazily accepts dicts as long as the keys are a subset of parameters in variable_schema.
- Model parameters can be specified by variable, or globally.
- Mean matching function can be overwritten if the user wishes.
