I want to know how well a prediction is by looking at the variance. Does xgboost provide a variance output for regression?

  • Xgboost works with several different languages, do hou have any preferences for language?

  • not really, currently I am using a binding for rust

  • what kind of variance are you interested in? In a sense, what would it be evaluated on? I'm not aware of a dedicated procedure for GBMs, as learnig iterations are incremental. In contrast, in random forest model one could simply evaluate the variance over all trees (the main prediction being the average over the same trees)

  • given a current leaf, I need to just calculate the variance of all the data points in the current leaf right?

  • but there is the problem of ensemble trees, where it will have multiple leafs and some weighted avg between the trees
