Yes, I think the second link is a test build of a parallelized cv loop within gbm(). On Mar 24, 2013, at 9:28 AM, "Lorenzo Isella" wrote: > Thanks a lot for the quick answer. > However, from what I see, the parallelization affects only the > cross-validation part in the gbm interface (but it

Thanks a lot for the quick answer. However, from what I see, the parallelization affects only the cross-validation part in the gbm interface (but it changes nothing when you call gbm.fit). Am I missing anything here? Is there any fundamental reason why gbm.fit cannot be parallelized? Lorenzo

2013-03-24 Thread Lorenzo Isella
Dear All, I am far from being a guru about parallel programming. Most of the time, I rely or randomForest for data mining large datasets. I would like to give a try also to the gradient boosted methods in GBM, but I have a need for parallelization. I normally rely on gbm.fit for speed reasons, a
