Pool的案例应用

train_dataPool = Pool(data=[[12, 14, 16, 18], [23, 25, 27, 29], [32, 34, 36, 38]],
                  label=[10, 20, 30],
                  weight=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3])    # weight各自权重默认设置为1

        Parameters
        ----------

Pool 是在CatBoost中用作训练模型的数据结构

        data : list or numpy.ndarray or pandas.DataFrame or  pandas.Series or FeaturesData or string. Data source of Pool. If list or numpy.ndarrays or pandas.DataFrame or pandas.  Series, giving 2 dimensional array like data.  If FeaturesData - see FeaturesData description for  details, 'cat_features' and 'feature_names' parameters must be equal to None in this case. If string, giving the path to the file with data in catboost  format. If path starts with "quantized://", the file has to contain  quantized dataset saved with Pool.save().

        label : list or numpy.ndarrays or pandas.DataFrame or  pandas.Series, optional (default=None). Label of the training data. If not None, giving 1 or 2 dimensional array like data   with floats. If data is a file, then label must be in the file, that is label must be equals to None  cat_features : list or numpy.ndarray, optional  (default=None). If not None, giving the list of Categ features indices or names. If it contains feature names, Pool's feature names must be defined: either by passing 'feature_names' parameter or if data is pandas.DataFrame (feature  names are initialized from it's column names). Must be None if 'data' parameter has FeaturesData type

        text_features : list or numpy.ndarray, optional . (default=None), If not None, giving the list of Text features indices or  names. If it contains feature names, Pool's feature names must 
             be defined: either by passing 'feature_names'  parameter or if data is pandas.DataFrame (feature names are initialized from it's column names).  Must be None if 'data' parameter has FeaturesData type

        embedding_features : list or numpy.ndarray, optional . (default=None). If not None, giving the list of Embedding features  indices or names. If it contains feature names, Pool's feature names must  be defined: either by passing 'feature_names' parameter or if data is pandas.DataFrame (feature names are initialized from it's column names). Must be None if 'data' parameter has FeaturesData type

        column_description : string, optional (default=None). ColumnsDescription parameter. There are several columns description types: Label,   Categ, Num, Auxiliary, DocId, Weight, Baseline, GroupId,  Timestamp.  All columns are Num as default, it's not necessary to   specify  this type of columns. Default Label column index is 0   (zero).  If None, Label column is 0 (zero) as default, all data   columns are Num as default. If string, giving the path to the file with  ColumnsDescription in column_description format.

        pairs : list or numpy.ndarray or pandas.DataFrame or string.The pairs description.  If list or numpy.ndarrays or pandas.DataFrame, giving 2  dimensional. The shape should be Nx2, where N is the pairs' count.  The first element of the pair is  the index of winner object in the training set. The  second element of the pair is the index of loser object in the training set. If string, giving the path to the file with pairs description.

        delimiter : string, optional (default='\t'). Delimiter to use for separate features in file. Should be only one symbol, otherwise would be taken  only the first character of the string.

        has_header : bool optional (default=False). If True, read column names from first line.

        ignore_csv_quoting : bool optional (default=False). If True ignore quoting '"'.

        weight : list or numpy.ndarray, optional (default=None). Weight for each instance. If not None, giving 1 dimensional array like data.

        group_id : list or numpy.ndarray, optional (default=None). group id for each instance.  If not None, giving 1 dimensional array like data.

        group_weight : list or numpy.ndarray, optional .(default=None).Group weight for each instance.  If not None, giving 1 dimensional array like data.

        pairs_weight : list or numpy.ndarray, optional .(default=None).  Weight for each pair. If not None, giving 1 dimensional array like pairs.

        baseline : list or numpy.ndarray, optional (default=None).Baseline for each instance. If not None, giving 2 dimensional array like data.

        feature_names : list or string, optional (default=None). If list - list of names for each given data_feature. If string - path with scheme for feature names data to  load. If this parameter is None and 'data' is pandas.DataFrame   feature names will be initialized  from DataFrame's column names. Must be None if 'data' parameter has FeaturesData type

        ----------
        pool : catboost.Pool
            Dataset to quantize.

        ignored_features : list, [default=None]
            Indices or names of features that should be excluded 
             when training.

        per_float_feature_quantization : list of strings, 
         [default=None]
            List of float binarization descriptions.
            Format : described in documentation on catboost.ai
            Example 1: ['0:1024'] means that feature 0 will have 1024 
             borders.
            Example 2: ['0:border_count=1024', '1:
             border_count=1024', ...] means that two first features have

            The number of partitions in numeric features 
             binarization. Used in the preliminary calculation.
            range: [1,65535] on CPU, [1,255] on GPU

        max_bin : float, synonym for border_count.

        feature_border_type : string, [default='GreedyLogSum']
            The binarization mode in numeric features binarization. 
             Used in the preliminary calculation.
            Possible values:
                - 'Median'
                - 'Uniform'
                - 'UniformAndQuantiles'
                - 'GreedyLogSum'
                - 'MaxLogSum'

        sparse_features_conflict_fraction : float, [default=0.0]
            CPU only. Maximum allowed fraction of conflicting non-
             default values for features in exclusive features bundle.
            Should be a real value in [0, 1) interval.

        nan_mode : string, [default=None]
            Way to process missing values for numeric features.
            Possible values:
                - 'Forbidden' - raises an exception if there is a missing 
                 value for a numeric feature in a dataset.
                - 'Min' - each missing value will be processed as the

            input file with borders used in numeric features
