Robust XGBoost
Robust XGBoost combines the scalable gradient boosting framework of XGBoost with robust loss functions — primarily the Huber loss or its variants — to produce a gradient boosted tree ensemble that resists the distorting influence of outliers. By replacing the squared-error objective with a loss that down-weights large residuals, the model delivers reliable predictions on continuous targets even when training data contain extreme values or label noise.
