# change booster to gblinear, so that we are fitting a linear model
# alpha is the L1 regularizer
# lambda is the L2 regularizer
# you can also set lambda_bias which is L2 regularizer on the bias term

# normally, you do not need to set eta (step_size)
# XGBoost uses a parallel coordinate descent algorithm (shotgun),
# there could be affection on convergence with parallelization on certain cases
# setting eta to be smaller value, e.g 0.5 can make the optimization more stable
# param['eta'] = 1

# the rest of settings are the same
