            preds : list or numpy 1-D array
                The predicted values.
            train_data : Dataset
                The training dataset.
            grad : list or numpy 1-D array
                The value of the first order derivative (gradient) for each sample point.
            hess : list or numpy 1-D array
                The value of the second order derivative (Hessian) for each sample point.

53
        For binary task, the preds is margin.
54
55
56
57
        For multi-class task, the preds is group by class_id first, then group by row_id.
        If you want to get i-th row preds in j-th class, the access way is score[j * num_data + i]
        and you should group grad and hess in this way as well.

                The training dataset.

            is_higher_better : bool
                Is eval result higher better, e.g. AUC is ``is_higher_better``.

74
        For binary task, the preds is probability of positive class (or margin in case of specified ``fobj``).
75
76
        For multi-class task, the preds is group by class_id first, then group by row_id.
        If you want to get i-th row preds in j-th class, the access way is preds[j * num_data + i].
77
78
        To ignore the default metric corresponding to the used objective,
        set the ``metric`` parameter to the string ``"None"`` in ``params``.

    init_model : string, Booster or None, optional (default=None)
80
81
82

84
85
86
87
        Filename of LightGBM model or Booster instance used for continue training.
    feature_name : list of strings or 'auto', optional (default="auto")
        Feature names.
        If 'auto' and data is pandas DataFrame, data columns names are used.
    categorical_feature : list of strings or int, or 'auto', optional (default="auto")
        Categorical features.
        If list of int, interpreted as indices.
        If list of strings, interpreted as feature names (need to specify ``feature_name`` as well).
88
        If 'auto' and data is pandas DataFrame, pandas unordered categorical columns are used.
89
        All values in categorical features should be less than int32 max value (2147483647).
90
        Large values could be memory consuming. Consider using consecutive integers starting from zero.
91
        All negative values in categorical features will be treated as missing values.
92
        The output cannot be monotonically constrained with respect to a categorical feature.
93
    early_stopping_rounds : int or None, optional (default=None)
94
        Activates early stopping. The model will train until the validation score stops improving.
95
96
97
98
        Validation score needs to improve at least every ``early_stopping_rounds`` round(s)
        to continue training.
        Requires at least one validation data and one metric.
        If there's more than one, will check all of them. But the training data is ignored anyway.
99
        To check only the first metric, set the ``first_metric_only`` parameter to ``True`` in ``params``.
100
101
102
        The index of iteration that has the best performance will be saved in the ``best_iteration`` field
        if early stopping logic is enabled by setting ``early_stopping_rounds``.
    evals_result: dict or None, optional (default=None)
103
104
        This dictionary used to store all evaluation results of all the items in ``valid_sets``.

    verbose_eval : bool or int, optional (default=True)

        If True, the eval metric on the valid set is printed at each boosting stage.
        If int, the eval metric on the valid set is printed at every ``verbose_eval`` boosting stage.
        The last boosting stage or the boosting stage found by using ``early_stopping_rounds`` is also printed.

        With ``verbose_eval`` = 4 and at least one item in ``valid_sets``,
122
        an evaluation metric is printed every 4 (instead of 1) boosting stages.

    learning_rates : list, callable or None, optional (default=None)
125
126
127
128
129
130
        List of learning rates for each boosting round
        or a customized function that calculates ``learning_rate``
        in terms of current number of round (e.g. yields learning rate decay).
    keep_training_booster : bool, optional (default=False)
        Whether the returned Booster will be used to keep training.
        If False, the returned value will be converted into _InnerPredictor before returning.
131
        When your model is very large and cause the memory error, you can try to set this param to ``True`` to avoid the model conversion performed during the internal call of ``model_to_string``.
132
133
        You can still use _InnerPredictor as ``init_model`` for future continue training.
    callbacks : list of callables or None, optional (default=None)
134
        List of callback functions that are applied at each iteration.
135

414

419
        Number of folds in CV.
420
421
    stratified : bool, optional (default=True)
        Whether to perform stratified sampling.
422
    shuffle : bool, optional (default=True)
423
424
425
426
427
        Whether to shuffle before splitting data.
    metrics : string, list of strings or None, optional (default=None)
        Evaluation metrics to be monitored while CV.

        Customized objective function.
        Should accept two parameters: preds, train_data,
        and return (grad, hess).

            preds : list or numpy 1-D array
                The predicted values.
            train_data : Dataset
                The training dataset.
            grad : list or numpy 1-D array
                The value of the first order derivative (gradient) for each sample point.
            hess : list or numpy 1-D array
                The value of the second order derivative (Hessian) for each sample point.

441
        For binary task, the preds is margin.
442
443
444
445
        For multi-class task, the preds is group by class_id first, then group by row_id.
        If you want to get i-th row preds in j-th class, the access way is score[j * num_data + i]
        and you should group grad and hess in this way as well.

446
    feval : callable or None, optional (default=None)
447
        Customized evaluation function.
448
449
        Should accept two parameters: preds, train_data,
        and return (eval_name, eval_result, is_higher_better) or list of such tuples.

452
453
454
455

            preds : list or numpy 1-D array
                The predicted values.
            train_data : Dataset
                The training dataset.
            eval_name : string
456
                The name of evaluation function (without whitespaces).
457
458
459
460
461
            eval_result : float
                The eval result.
            is_higher_better : bool
                Is eval result higher better, e.g. AUC is ``is_higher_better``.

462
        For binary task, the preds is probability of positive class (or margin in case of specified ``fobj``).
463
464
        For multi-class task, the preds is group by class_id first, then group by row_id.
        If you want to get i-th row preds in j-th class, the access way is preds[j * num_data + i].
465
466
        To ignore the default metric corresponding to the used objective,
        set ``metrics`` to the string ``"None"``.

469
470

    feature_name : list of strings or 'auto', optional (default="auto")
        Feature names.
        If 'auto' and data is pandas DataFrame, data columns names are used.
    categorical_feature : list of strings or int, or 'auto', optional (default="auto")
        Categorical features.
        If list of int, interpreted as indices.
        If list of strings, interpreted as feature names (need to specify ``feature_name`` as well).
476
        If 'auto' and data is pandas DataFrame, pandas unordered categorical columns are used.
477
        All values in categorical features should be less than int32 max value (2147483647).
478
        Large values could be memory consuming. Consider using consecutive integers starting from zero.
479
        All negative values in categorical features will be treated as missing values.
480
        The output cannot be monotonically constrained with respect to a categorical feature.
481
    early_stopping_rounds : int or None, optional (default=None)
482
483
484
485
        Activates early stopping.
        CV score needs to improve at least every ``early_stopping_rounds`` round(s)
        to continue.
        Requires at least one metric. If there's more than one, will check all of them.
486
        To check only the first metric, set the ``first_metric_only`` parameter to ``True`` in ``params``.
487
        Last entry in evaluation history is the one from the best iteration.

504
505
506
    eval_train_metric : bool, optional (default=False)
        Whether to display the train metric in progress.
        The score of the metric is calculated again after each training step, so there is some impact on performance.
