Here are recommendations provided by several of my SAS colleagues for how to adjust properties representing the hyperparameters in each of these categories to help you train an accurate but generalizable gradient boosting model. The hyperparameters for a gradient boosting model can be divided into categories: those related to growing the decision trees (primarily in the Splitting Rule, Node, and Split Search property groups) and those related to the boosting process (primarily in the Series Options group). When training a gradient boosting model in SAS Enterprise Miner, some of these hyperparameters are exposed to you as properties of the Gradient Boosting node, and of course, their optimal values are data dependent. With this modeling algorithm comes several hyperparameters. The resulting ensemble model that averages together the predictions from the decision trees often outperforms (in terms of prediction accuracy) other machine learning algorithms, making gradient boosting extremely popular. The residuals are calculated in terms of the derivative of a loss function. A tree in the sequence is fit to the residuals of the predictions from the earlier trees in the sequence.

The Gradient Boosting node is on the Model tab of the SAS Enterprise Miner Toolbar for training a gradient boosting model, a model created by a sequence of decision trees that together form a single predictive model.
