An adaptive model rule that is based on gradient boosting has a different set of parameters than a Bayesian adaptive model. The parameters for an adaptive model rule can be found under the advanced settings of the adaptive model rule. The parameters should only be changed with extreme caution, as the default settings are chosen to make the modeling technique both robust and powerful, so any change from these defaults could affect both the predictive power of the algorithm, and slow down the scoring time of the model.

1. In the Learning rate field, enter an ETA (shrinkage factor) numeric value between (but larger than) 0 and 1.
   This parameter prevents over-fitting by slowing down the learning process of the model. A smaller value (closer to 0) means that each tree has a small weight on the prediction score of the model. This implies that more trees are necessary to get a better prediction performance. A higher ETA value (closer to 1) means that less trees are going to be learned, because the weight of individual trees is high. The recommended and default value is 0.3.
2. In the Lambda field, enter a numeric value for regularization of the model on leaf weights. This value adds a penalty when the model complexity increases.
   Lambda is also used for the calculation of gain, which is the quality metric at the node level. Increasing Lambda will make the model split more conservatively, because the gain will be lower than the gain calculated without Lambda. The recommended and default value is 1.
3. In the Gamma field, enter a numeric value for the complexity threshold that controls splits and prune.

   Gamma is the threshold for the minimum gain a node needs before we allow it to split. It is also a threshold for pruning, and defines the minimum gain a node needs to have to not be considered for pruning. A low gamma value will force the model to split or prune more often.

   The recommended and default value is 0.
4. In the Minimum child weight field, enter a numeric value to constrain a possible node split.
   Minimum child weight designates the minimum sum of instance weight (hessian) needed in a child. If the tree partition step results in a leaf node with the sum of instance weight less than min_child_weight, then the building process will stop further partitioning. In linear regression, this corresponds to the minimum number of instances needed in each node. The larger the value, the more conservative the algorithm will be, forcing to not split on that node. The recommended and default value is 1.
5. In the Maximum trees field, enter the maximum number of trees that can be added to the model, between 1 and 500.
   For a model containing shallow trees (maximum tree depth), maximum trees should allow the creation of a high number of trees, so that a new tree is created whenever possible. This will also enable generalization of the model. Increasing the value will increase the scoring time of the model. The recommended and default value is 50.
6. In the Maximum tree depth field, enter the maximum depth of a single tree, between 1 and 14.
   The higher the value, the more complex the tree. A low depth value results in shallow trees, because the trees will not grow more than the predefined value. This is desirable in the adaptive boosting model. The maximum tree depth parameter should correspond to the maximum trees value. Increasing the value will increase the scoring time of the model. The recommended and default value is 9.
