How it works...

In steps 1 and 2, we import a standard dataset, the wine dataset, as well as the libraries needed for classification. A more interesting step follows, in which we specify how long we would like the hyperparameter search to be, in terms of a number of combinations of parameters to try. The longer the search, the better the results, at the risk of overfitting and extending the computational time. In step 4, we select XGBoost as the model, and then specify the number of classes, the type of problem, and the evaluation metric. This part will depend on the type of problem. For instance, for a regression problem, we might set eval_metric = 'rmse' and drop num_class together.

Other models than XGBoost can be selected with the hyperparameter ...
