autocatboost

Did you consider in making (also) an autocatboost algorithm?

On their webpage they claim to be better regarding performance and runtime: https://catboost.yandex/

Would be interesting to compare this properly. Unfortunately it is not on CRAN yet.

I've read the catboost paper and really like their approach.

AFAIK they have a (marginally) better performance than xgboost and others but have a worse runtime (which makes sense due to their more complex algorithm).

I might switch over to a different gbm implementation in the future if it really has advantages.
