xgb.DMatrix.R

#' Construct xgb.DMatrix object
#'
#' Construct xgb.DMatrix object from either a dense matrix, a sparse matrix, or a local file.
#' Supported input file formats are either a LIBSVM text file or a binary file that was created previously by
#' \code{\link{xgb.DMatrix.save}}).
#'
#' @param data a \code{matrix} object (either numeric or integer), a \code{dgCMatrix} object, or a character
#'        string representing a filename.
#' @param info a named list of additional information to store in the \code{xgb.DMatrix} object.
#'        See \code{\link{setinfo}} for the specific allowed kinds of
#' @param missing a float value to represents missing values in data (used only when input is a dense matrix).
#'        It is useful when a 0 or some other extreme value represents missing values in data.
#' @param silent whether to suppress printing an informational message after loading from a file.
#' @param nthread Number of threads used for creating DMatrix.
#' @param ... the \code{info} data could be passed directly as parameters, without creating an \code{info} list.

#' Dimensions of xgb.DMatrix
#'
#' Returns a vector of numbers of rows and of columns in an \code{xgb.DMatrix}.

#' Note: since \code{nrow} and \code{ncol} internally use \code{dim}, they can also
#' be directly used with an \code{xgb.DMatrix} object.

#' Handling of column names of \code{xgb.DMatrix}
#'
#' Only column names are supported for \code{xgb.DMatrix}, thus setting of

#' @param x object of class \code{xgb.DMatrix}
#' @param value a list of two elements: the first one is ignored
#'        and the second one is column names
#'
#' @details
#' Generic \code{dimnames} methods are used by \code{colnames}.
#' Since row names are irrelevant, it is recommended to use \code{colnames} directly.
