Closed this issue · 3 comments
I just modified a tutorial example based on xgboost and with only replacing the engine from
"xgboost" to "lightgbm" it just works! Amazing work!
How can I help?
@RMHogervorst would be awesome! Well, we are at a very early stage.
I just found out that lightgbm is not working with tune() (badly, it causes R to crash). you can check it out here https://github.com/curso-r/treesnip/blob/master/tests/testthat/test-lightgbm.R
Also I think we need a lot of unit tests!
If we set a good battery of successful tests we can start spreading the word about this pkg.
Just an update: lightgbm + tune crashing is a windows specific issue. Mac and Linux are not crashing.
Cool, yeah lightgbm worked without a hitch on my mac, but catboost had some issues.
