A very common way to use XGBoost is though its python interface, provided as the <code>xgboost</code> python module. Compute Canada provides an optimized, multi-GPU enabled build as a [[Python]] wheel. The reader is recommended to familiarize oneself with the basics of creating a python environment before starting and XGBoost project. | A very common way to use XGBoost is though its python interface, provided as the <code>xgboost</code> python module.
