This example uses home sales data to create a classification tree that predicts home style, which can be input to XGBoostPredict Example 1: Binary Classification.

Input

For descriptions of InputTable columns, see DecisionForest Example 1: Classification Tree without Out-of-Bag Error.

XGBoost model created in table specified in OutputTable argument

This query returns the following table:

SELECT tree_id, iter, class_num, cast (tree AS VARCHAR(30)),
  cast(region_prediction AS varchar(30))
  FROM xgboost_model ORDER BY 1,2,3;

For simplicity, the last two output columns show only the first 30 characters of each value.
