 # XGBoostLSS - An extension of XGBoost to probabilistic modelling and prediction
 We propose a new framework of XGBoost that predicts the entire conditional distribution of univariate and multivariate responses. In particular, **XGBoostLSS** models all moments of a parametric distribution, i.e., mean, location, scale and shape (LSS), instead of the conditional mean only. Choosing from a wide range of continuous, discrete, and mixed discrete-continuous distributions, modelling and predicting the entire conditional distribution greatly enhances the flexibility of XGBoost, as it allows to create probabilistic forecasts from which prediction intervals and quantiles of interest can be derived.

 > ### Stabilization
 Since XGBoostLSS updates the parameter estimates by optimizing Gradients and Hessians, it is important that these are comparable in magnitude for all distributional parameters. Due to variability regarding the ranges, the estimation of Gradients and Hessians might become unstable so that XGBoostLSS might not converge or might converge very slowly. To mitigate these effects, we have implemented a stabilization of Gradients and Hessians.

 > ### Runtime
 Since XGBoostLSS is based on a *one vs. all estimation strategy*, where a separate tree is grown for each distributional parameter, it requires training ```[number of iterations] * [number of distributional parameters]``` trees. Hence, the runtime of XGBoostLSS is generally slightly higher for univariate distributions as compared to XGBoost, which requires training ```[number of iterations]``` trees only. Moreover, for a dataset with multivariate targets, estimation can become computationally expensive.
