\arguments{
\item{params}{List of parameters}

\item{data}{a \code{lgb.Dataset} object, used for CV}

\item{nrounds}{number of CV rounds}

\item{nfold}{the original dataset is randomly partitioned into \code{nfold} equal size subsamples.}

\item{label}{vector of response values. Should be provided only when data is an R-matrix.}

\item{weight}{vector of response values. If not NULL, will set to dataset}

\item{obj}{objective function, can be character or custom objective function. Examples include 
\code{regression}, \code{regression_l1}, \code{huber},
\code{binary}, \code{lambdarank}, \code{multiclass}, \code{multiclass}}

\item{eval}{evaluation function, can be (list of) character or custom eval function}

\item{verbose}{verbosity for output, if <= 0, also will disable the print of evalutaion during training}

\item{record}{Boolean, TRUE will record iteration message to \code{booster$record_evals}}

\item{eval_freq}{evalutaion output frequence, only effect when verbose > 0}

\item{showsd}{\code{boolean}, whether to show standard deviation of cross validation}

\item{stratified}{a \code{boolean} indicating whether sampling of folds should be stratified
by the values of outcome labels.}

\item{folds}{\code{list} provides a possibility to use a list of pre-defined CV folds
(each element must be a vector of test fold's indices). When folds are supplied,
the \code{nfold} and \code{stratified} parameters are ignored.}

\item{init_model}{path of model file of \code{lgb.Booster} object, will continue train from this model}

\item{colnames}{feature names, if not null, will use this to overwrite the names in dataset}

\item{categorical_feature}{list of str or int
type int represents index,
type str represents feature names}

\item{early_stopping_rounds}{int
Activates early stopping.
Requires at least one validation data and one metric
If there's more than one, will check all of them
Returns the model with (best_iter + early_stopping_rounds)
If early stopping occurs, the model will have 'best_iter' field}

\item{callbacks}{list of callback functions
List of callback functions that are applied at each iteration.}

\item{...}{other parameters, see parameters.md for more informations}

\item{valids}{a list of \code{lgb.Dataset} objects, used for validation}

\item{boosting}{boosting type. \code{gbdt}, \code{dart}}

\item{num_leaves}{number of leaves in one tree. defaults to 127}

\item{max_depth}{Limit the max depth for tree model. This is used to deal with overfit when #data is small. 
Tree still grow by leaf-wise.}

\item{num_threads}{Number of threads for LightGBM. For the best speed, set this to the number of real CPU cores, not the number of threads (most CPU using hyper-threading to generate 2 threads per CPU core).}

\item{params}{List of parameters}

\item{data}{a \code{lgb.Dataset} object, used for training}

\item{nrounds}{number of training rounds}

\item{obj}{objective function, can be character or custom objective function. Examples include 
\code{regression}, \code{regression_l1}, \code{huber},
\code{binary}, \code{lambdarank}, \code{multiclass}, \code{multiclass}}
