I saw that some xgboost methods take a parameter num_boost_round, like this: model = xgb.cv(params, dtrain, num_boost_round=500, early_stopping_rounds=100) Others, however take n_estimators like this: model_xgb = xgb.XGBRegressor(n_estimators=360, max_depth=2, learning_rate=0.1) As far as I understand, each time boosting is applied a new estimator is created. Is that not correct? If that is so, then the numbers num_boost_round and n_estimators should be equal, right? Continue reading...
