            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.

            preds : list or numpy 1-D array
                The predicted values.
            train_data : Dataset
                The training dataset.
            eval_name : string

            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``.

    keep_training_booster : bool, optional (default=False)
        Whether the returned Booster will be used to keep training.

413
        If object, it should be one of the scikit-learn splitter classes

        This argument has highest priority over other data split arguments.
417
    nfold : int, optional (default=5)

418
        Number of folds in CV.
419
420
    stratified : bool, optional (default=True)
        Whether to perform stratified sampling.
421
    shuffle : bool, optional (default=True)
422
423
424
425
426
        Whether to shuffle before splitting data.
    metrics : string, list of strings or None, optional (default=None)
        Evaluation metrics to be monitored while CV.
        If not None, the metric in ``params`` will be overridden.
    fobj : callable or None, optional (default=None)

        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.

440
        For binary task, the preds is margin.
441
442
443
444
        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.

445
    feval : callable or None, optional (default=None)
446
        Customized evaluation function.
447
448
        Should accept two parameters: preds, train_data,
        and return (eval_name, eval_result, is_higher_better) or list of such tuples.

451
452
453
454

            preds : list or numpy 1-D array

            train_data : Dataset
                The training dataset.
            eval_name : string
455
                The name of evaluation function (without whitespaces).
456
457
458
459
460
            eval_result : float
                The eval result.
            is_higher_better : bool
                Is eval result higher better, e.g. AUC is ``is_higher_better``.

461
        For binary task, the preds is probability of positive class (or margin in case of specified ``fobj``).
462
463
        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].
464
465
        To ignore the default metric corresponding to the used objective,
        set ``metrics`` to the string ``"None"``.

468
469

    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).
475
        If 'auto' and data is pandas DataFrame, pandas unordered categorical columns are used.
476
        All values in categorical features should be less than int32 max value (2147483647).
477
        Large values could be memory consuming. Consider using consecutive integers starting from zero.
478
        All negative values in categorical features will be treated as missing values.
479
        The output cannot be monotonically constrained with respect to a categorical feature.
480
    early_stopping_rounds : int or None, optional (default=None)
481
482
483
484
        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.
485
        To check only the first metric, set the ``first_metric_only`` parameter to ``True`` in ``params``.
486
        Last entry in evaluation history is the one from the best iteration.

503
504
505
    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.
