Description

Get information of an xgb.DMatrix object

Usage

getinfo(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'xgb.DMatrix'
getinfo(object, name, ...)

group can be setup by setinfo but can't be retrieved by getinfo.

Examples

data(agaricus.train, package='xgboost')
dtrain <- with(agaricus.train, xgb.DMatrix(data, label = label, nthread = 2))

labels <- getinfo(dtrain, 'label')
setinfo(dtrain, 'label', 1-labels)
