xgb.save.raw: Save XGBoost model to R's raw vector

Description

Save XGBoost model from xgboost() or xgb.train(). Call xgb.load.raw() to load the model back from raw vector.

Usage

xgb.save.raw(model, raw_format = "ubj")

Arguments

model

The model object.

raw_format

The format for encoding the booster:

• "json": Encode the booster into JSON text document.

• "ubj": Encode the booster into Universal Binary JSON.

• "deprecated": Encode the booster into old customized binary format.

Examples

RhpcBLASctl::omp_set_num_threads(1)
data(agaricus.train, package = "xgboost")
data(agaricus.test, package = "xgboost")

## Keep the number of threads to 1 for examples
nthread <- 1
data.table::setDTthreads(nthread)

train <- agaricus.train
test <- agaricus.test

bst <- xgb.train(
  data = xgb.DMatrix(train$data, label = train$label, nthread = 1),
  nrounds = 2,
  params = xgb.params(
    max_depth = 2,
    nthread = nthread,
    objective = "binary:logistic"
  )
)

raw <- xgb.save.raw(bst)
bst <- xgb.load.raw(raw)
