Can I ask whether we can use sample weight in gradient boosting?
And how to do it?

another reason is that we take as threshold the mid point between
sample
values
which is not invariant to arbitrary scaling of the features

Hi Scikit-learn people,
This is a reminder that we'll be having our monthly call on Monday.
Please put your thoughts and important topics you have in mind on
the project board:
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/projects/15
We'll be meeting on https://appear.in/amueller
As usual, it'd be nice to have them on the board before the weekend :)
See you on Monday,
Adrin.
