col_sample_rate_per_tree
¶
- Available in: GBM, DRF, XGBoost, Isolation Forest
- Hyperparameter: yes
Description¶
This option specifies the column sampling rate for each tree (without replacement). This can be a value from 0.0 to 1.0 and defaults to 1. Note that it is multiplicative with col_sample_rate
, so setting both parameters to 0.8, for example, results in 64% of columns being considered at any given node to split.
For an example model using:
- 100-column dataset
col_sample_rate_per_tree=0.754
col_sample_rate=0.8
(Samples 80% of columns per split)
For each tree, the floor is used to determine the number of columns - in this example, (0.754 * 100)=75 out of 100 - that are randomly picked, and then the floor is used to determine the number of columns - in this case, (0.754 * 0.8 * 100)=60 - that are then randomly chosen for each split decision (out of the 75).
