Data visualization
CatBoost provides tools for the Python package that allow plotting charts with different training statistics. This information can be accessed both during and after the training procedure. Additional packages must be installed to support the visualization tools.
The following information is reflected on the charts:
- metric values
- best metric values on the validation dataset
- elapsed time of training
- remaining time of training
- current metric value
- metric value on the best iteration
The table below lists the Python training parameters that affect visualization.
