About:
Rgf is a machine learning library that implements Regularized Greedy Forest (RGF) algorithms. It provides an efficient and scalable solution for training gradient boosting models on decision trees. The library offers high predictive accuracy often surpassing traditional gradient boosting implementations.
Key Features:
  • Optimal linear combination of forest structure
  • Automatic feature selection and handling of missing values
  • Available as a Python package and command-line tool
  • Handles large datasets efficiently
Use Cases:
  • High-stakes predictive modeling competitions
  • Enterprise-grade classification and regression tasks
  • Machine learning research requiring robust tree-based models
Alternatives:
  • XGBoost – XGBoost is more widely adopted and faster, while RGF often achieves slightly better accuracy on tabular data
  • LightGBM – LightGBM excels in training speed, whereas RGF focuses on model regularization and structure
