A gradient boosting model

Now we'll fit a gradient boosting (GB) model. It's been said a linear model is like a Toyota Camry, and GB is like a Black Hawk helicopter. GB has potential to outperform random forests, but doesn't always do so. This is called the no free lunch theorem, meaning we should always try lots of different models for each problem.

GB is similar to random forest models, but the difference is that trees are built successively. With each iteration, the next tree fits the residual errors from the previous tree in order to improve the fit.

For now we won't search our hyperparameters -- they've been searched for you.
