Previously, functions
xgb.train
andxgb.cv
were accepting parameters as either function arguments or as entries underparams
, but now they have been changed to only acceptparams
.One problematic case here is
objective
, since it is accepted as a function argument when it is a function, in line with the python package.The warning-on-deprecation mechanism thus doesn't cover the case of built-in objectives being passed as parameters. This PR should fix it, and hopefully help to ease migration and avoid failures in reverse dependencies.
