Hi,

ALL the estimators in linear-tree are sklearn estiamtors. They don't automatically encode categorical features. You should use your own strategy for categorical features encoding

If you support support the project, don't forget to leave a star ;-)

Do you have examples When your code is much better than gxboost? Do you planning to add your linear regression splits to gradient busting? Seems to be some of gbm packages already has linear regression splits?
