pbdXGB: Programming with Big Data -- Extreme Gradient Boosting

An pbdR interface to xgboost with MPI C library. This package only retains main functions of xgboost but aims for computing performance to obtain results using distributed computation via pbdMPI. This package uses Single Program/Multiple Data ('SPMD') parallel programming style that is intended for batch parallel execution on clusters or HPC resources.
