Hi, I’m using XGBoost-4j spark 0.80, and use setLeafPredictionCol() to get leaf index.
The metadata of the model I trained is
{“class”:“ml.dmlc.xgboost4j.scala.spark.XGBoostClassificationModel”,“timestamp”:1557508793544,“sparkVersion”:“2.3.0”,“uid”:“xgbc_5b9d95212ebf”,“paramMap”:{“baseScore”:0.5,“customObj”:null,“evalMetric”:“auc”,“numRound”:200,“nthread”:1,“trackerConf”:{“workerConnectionTimeout”:0,“trackerImpl”:“python”},“eta”:0.2,“treeMethod”:“auto”,“useExternalMemory”:false,“timeoutRequestWorkers”:1800000,“silent”:1,“colsampleBytree”:0.9,“lambda”:1.0,“subsample”:0.8,“seed”:0,“alpha”:0.0,“skipDrop”:0.0,“sketchEps”:0.03,“checkpointPath”:"",“probabilityCol”:“probability”,“numWorkers”:64,“numEarlyStoppingRounds”:0,“missing”:“NaN”,“maxBin”:16,“growPolicy”:“depthwise”,“sampleType”:“uniform”,“maxDeltaStep”:0.0,“minChildWeight”:1.0,“colsampleBylevel”:1.0,“rawPredictionCol”:“rawPrediction”,“gamma”:0.0,“treeLimit”:0,“customEval”:null,“checkpointInterval”:-1,“featuresCol”:“features”,“normalizeType”:“tree”,“maxDepth”:7,“rateDrop”:0.0,“labelCol”:“label”,“lambdaBias”:0.0,“predictionCol”:“prediction”,“objective”:“binary:logistic”,“trainTestRatio”:1.0,“scalePosWeight”:5.0}}
As you can see, the tree num is 200 and the depth is 7
In my opinion, the leaf index should be in the range between 127-254, but i get the leaf index of some samples less than 127 for some trees.

What’s wrong with my model?
