        Parameters
        ----------
        boosting_type : string, optional (default="gbdt")
            'gbdt', traditional Gradient Boosting Decision Tree.

            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=50000)

            Use this parameter only for multi-class classification task;
            for binary classification task you may use ``is_unbalance`` or ``scale_pos_weight`` parameters.
            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.

        reg_lambda : float, optional (default=0.)
            L2 regularization term on weights.
        random_state : int or None, optional (default=None)
            Random number seed.
            Will use default seeds in c++ code if set to None.
        n_jobs : int, optional (default=-1)
            Number of parallel threads.
        silent : bool, optional (default=True)

            Note
            ----

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

            The class label array (only for classification problem).
        n_classes_ : int
            The number of classes (only for classification problem).
        best_score_ : dict or None
            The best score of fitted model.
        best_iteration_ : int or None
            The best iteration of fitted model if ``early_stopping_rounds`` has been specified.
        objective_ : string or callable
            The concrete objective used while fitting this model.
        booster_ : Booster
            The underlying Booster of this model.
        evals_result_ : dict or None
            The evaluation results if ``early_stopping_rounds`` has been specified.
        feature_importances_ : array of shape = [n_features]
            The feature importances (the higher, the more important the feature).

        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 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 derivative 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.
