Text Explanation to Visual Representation
Objective
The task involves implementing and visualizing the logic of an XGBoost regression model for predicting house prices using the Boston housing dataset.
Key Components
- Import Libraries: Import essential Python libraries for XGBoost, data loading, splitting, and evaluation.
- Load Dataset: Load the Boston housing dataset.
- Split Data: Split the dataset into training and testing sets.
- Initialize Model: Set up the XGBoost regressor with specified parameters.
- Train Model: Train the model on the training data.
- Make Predictions: Predict values using the test data.
- Evaluate Model: Evaluate the predictions using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).

Explanatory Comments for Flowchart Nodes
Import Libraries: Import libraries for data handling and model implementation.
xgboost
for the XGBoost model.sklearn.datasets
for loading the dataset.sklearn.model_selection
for splitting the dataset.sklearn.metrics
for model evaluation.
Load Dataset: Use the
load_boston()
function fromsklearn.datasets
to load the Boston housing dataset.Split Data: Utilize
train_test_split
fromsklearn.model_selection
to divide the dataset into training and testing sets (80% train, 20% test).Initialize XGBoost Model: Initialize an XGBoost regressor (
xgb.XGBRegressor
) with several parameters:objective='reg:squarederror'
: Specifies the learning task and corresponding objective.colsample_bytree=0.3
: Fraction of features to be used.learning_rate=0.1
: Step size shrinkage.max_depth=5
: Maximum depth of a tree.alpha=10
: L1 regularization term on weights.n_estimators=10
: Number of trees in the model.
Train the Model: Fit the model on the training data using
xg_reg.fit(X_train, y_train)
.Make Predictions: Use the trained model to make predictions on the test data with
xg_reg.predict(X_test)
.Evaluate Model: Use
mean_squared_error
withsquared=False
to compute the RMSE of the predictions compared to the actual test labels.Print RMSE: Output the computed RMSE to assess model performance.
Code Implementation (Python)
# Import necessary libraries
import xgboost as xgb
from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
# Load dataset
data = load_boston()
X, y = data.data, data.target
# Split data into training and testing sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
# Initialize XGBoost model
xg_reg = xgb.XGBRegressor(objective ='reg:squarederror', colsample_bytree = 0.3, learning_rate = 0.1,
max_depth = 5, alpha = 10, n_estimators = 10)
# Train the model
xg_reg.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Make predictions
preds = xg_reg.predict(X_test)
# Evaluate the model
rmse = mean_squared_error(y_test, preds, squared=False)
print(f"RMSE: {rmse}")
