I have three questions about XGBoost.
- What is the final model of XGBoost? That is, when I want to make a prediction, is the final prediction the average of all trees?
- In R, how to check the prediction for each tree?
- In R, how to interpret booster being gbtree and objective being reg:linear? Does that mean tree based model is used, and for leaf it is a linear regression model (rather than average)? If yes, what features did each leaf use?
Thanks!
