        r"""Construct a gradient boosting model.

        Parameters
        ----------
        boosting_type : string, optional (default='gbdt')
            'gbdt', traditional Gradient Boosting Decision Tree.
            'dart', Dropouts meet Multiple Additive Regression Trees.
            'goss', Gradient-based One-Side Sampling.
            'rf', Random Forest.
        num_leaves : int, optional (default=31)
            Maximum tree leaves for base learners.
        max_depth : int, optional (default=-1)
            Maximum tree depth for base learners, <=0 means no limit.
        learning_rate : float, optional (default=0.1)
            Boosting learning rate.
            You can use ``callbacks`` parameter of ``fit`` method to shrink/adapt learning rate
            in training using ``reset_parameter`` callback.
            Note, that this will ignore the ``learning_rate`` argument in training.
        n_estimators : int, optional (default=100)
            Number of boosted trees to fit.
        subsample_for_bin : int, optional (default=200000)
            Number of samples for constructing bins.
        objective : string, callable or None, optional (default=None)
            Specify the learning task and the corresponding learning objective or
            a custom objective function to be used (see note below).
            Default: 'regression' for LGBMRegressor, 'binary' or 'multiclass' for LGBMClassifier, 'lambdarank' for LGBMRanker.
        class_weight : dict, 'balanced' or None, optional (default=None)
            Weights associated with classes in the form ``{class_label: weight}``.
            Use this parameter only for multi-class classification task;
            for binary classification task you may use ``is_unbalance`` or ``scale_pos_weight`` parameters.
            Note, that the usage of all these parameters will result in poor estimates of the individual class probabilities.
            You may want to consider performing probability calibration
            (https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/calibration.html) of your model.
            The 'balanced' mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights
            inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as ``n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))``.
            If None, all classes are supposed to have weight one.
            Note, that these weights will be multiplied with ``sample_weight`` (passed through the ``fit`` method)
            if ``sample_weight`` is specified.
        min_split_gain : float, optional (default=0.)
            Minimum loss reduction required to make a further partition on a leaf node of the tree.
        min_child_weight : float, optional (default=1e-3)
            Minimum sum of instance weight (hessian) needed in a child (leaf).
        min_child_samples : int, optional (default=20)
            Minimum number of data needed in a child (leaf).
        subsample : float, optional (default=1.)
            Subsample ratio of the training instance.
        subsample_freq : int, optional (default=0)
            Frequence of subsample, <=0 means no enable.
        colsample_bytree : float, optional (default=1.)
            Subsample ratio of columns when constructing each tree.
        reg_alpha : float, optional (default=0.)
            L1 regularization term on weights.
        reg_lambda : float, optional (default=0.)
            L2 regularization term on weights.
        random_state : int, RandomState object or None, optional (default=None)
            Random number seed.
            If int, this number is used to seed the C++ code.
            If RandomState object (numpy), a random integer is picked based on its state to seed the C++ code.
            If None, default seeds in C++ code are used.
        n_jobs : int, optional (default=-1)
            Number of parallel threads.
        silent : bool, optional (default=True)
            Whether to print messages while running boosting.
        importance_type : string, optional (default='split')
            The type of feature importance to be filled into ``feature_importances_``.
            If 'split', result contains numbers of times the feature is used in a model.
            If 'gain', result contains total gains of splits which use the feature.
        **kwargs
            Other parameters for the model.
            Check http://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Parameters.html for more parameters.

            .. warning::

                \*\*kwargs is not supported in sklearn, it may cause unexpected issues.

        Attributes
        ----------
        n_features_ : int
            The number of features of fitted model.

        feature_importances_ : array of shape = [n_features]
            The feature importances (the higher, the more important the feature).
        feature_name_ : array of shape = [n_features]
            The names of features.

        Note
        ----
        A custom objective function can be provided for the ``objective`` parameter.
        In this case, it should have the signature
        ``objective(y_true, y_pred) -> grad, hess`` or
        ``objective(y_true, y_pred, group) -> grad, hess``:

            y_true : array-like of shape = [n_samples]
                The target values.
            y_pred : array-like of shape = [n_samples] or shape = [n_samples * n_classes] (for multi-class task)
                The predicted values.
            group : array-like
                Group/query data, used for ranking task.
            grad : array-like of shape = [n_samples] or shape = [n_samples * n_classes] (for multi-class task)
                The value of the first order derivative (gradient) for each sample point.
            hess : array-like of shape = [n_samples] or shape = [n_samples * n_classes] (for multi-class task)
                The value of the second order derivative (Hessian) for each sample point.

        For multi-class task, the y_pred is group by class_id first, then group by row_id.
        If you want to get i-th row y_pred in j-th class, the access way is y_pred[j * num_data + i]
        and you should group grad and hess in this way as well.

            If string, it should be a built-in evaluation metric to use.
            If callable, it should be a custom evaluation metric, see note below for more details.
            In either case, the ``metric`` from the model parameters will be evaluated and used as well.
            Default: 'l2' for LGBMRegressor, 'logloss' for LGBMClassifier, 'ndcg' for LGBMRanker.
        early_stopping_rounds : int or None, optional (default=None)
            Activates early stopping. The model will train until the validation score stops improving.
            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.
            To check only the first metric, set the ``first_metric_only`` parameter to ``True``
            in additional parameters ``**kwargs`` of the model constructor.
        verbose : bool or int, optional (default=True)
            Requires at least one evaluation data.
            If True, the eval metric on the eval set is printed at each boosting stage.
            If int, the eval metric on the eval set is printed at every ``verbose`` boosting stage.
            The last boosting stage or the boosting stage found by using ``early_stopping_rounds`` is also printed.

            .. rubric:: Example

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

        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).
            If 'auto' and data is pandas DataFrame, pandas unordered categorical columns are used.
            All values in categorical features should be less than int32 max value (2147483647).
            Large values could be memory consuming. Consider using consecutive integers starting from zero.
            All negative values in categorical features will be treated as missing values.
            The output cannot be monotonically constrained with respect to a categorical feature.
        callbacks : list of callback functions or None, optional (default=None)
            List of callback functions that are applied at each iteration.
            See Callbacks in Python API for more information.
        init_model : string, Booster, LGBMModel or None, optional (default=None)
            Filename of LightGBM model, Booster instance or LGBMModel instance used for continue training.

        Returns
        -------
        self : object
            Returns self.

        Note
        ----
        Custom eval function expects a callable with following signatures:
        ``func(y_true, y_pred)``, ``func(y_true, y_pred, weight)`` or
        ``func(y_true, y_pred, weight, group)``
        and returns (eval_name, eval_result, is_higher_better) or
        list of (eval_name, eval_result, is_higher_better):

            y_true : array-like of shape = [n_samples]
                The target values.
            y_pred : array-like of shape = [n_samples] or shape = [n_samples * n_classes] (for multi-class task)
                The predicted values.
            weight : array-like of shape = [n_samples]
                The weight of samples.
            group : array-like
                Group/query data, used for ranking task.
            eval_name : string
                The name of evaluation function (without whitespaces).
            eval_result : float
                The eval result.
            is_higher_better : bool
                Is eval result higher better, e.g. AUC is ``is_higher_better``.

        For multi-class task, the y_pred is group by class_id first, then group by row_id.
        If you want to get i-th row y_pred in j-th class, the access way is y_pred[j * num_data + i].

        num_iteration : int or None, optional (default=None)
            Limit number of iterations in the prediction.
            If None, if the best iteration exists, it is used; otherwise, all trees are used.

                If you want to get more explanations for your model's predictions using SHAP values,
                like SHAP interaction values,
                you can install the shap package (https://github.com/slundberg/shap).
                Note that unlike the shap package, with ``pred_contrib`` we return a matrix with an extra
                column, where the last column is the expected value.

            Other parameters for the prediction.

        predicted_probability : array-like of shape = [n_samples, n_classes]
            The predicted probability for each class for each sample.
        X_leaves : array-like of shape = [n_samples, n_trees * n_classes]
            If ``pred_leaf=True``, the predicted leaf of every tree for each sample.
        X_SHAP_values : array-like of shape = [n_samples, (n_features + 1) * n_classes]
            If ``pred_contrib=True``, the feature contributions for each sample.
