Replace XGBoost with Catboost #1

Hi Kassem,

I like this project.

I recommend replacing XGBoost with CatBoost. CatBoost handles categorical features more efficiently and often requires less hyperparameter tuning. For more information on this comparison, please refer to this discussion: https://x.com/predict_addict/status/1829074380925575237

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback and for taking an interest in the project!

I appreciate your suggestion to replace XGBoost with CatBoost. CatBoost is indeed known for its efficient handling of categorical features and potentially less need for hyperparameter tuning. I’ll look into the comparison and consider integrating CatBoost into our model.

Thanks for sharing the discussion link—it’s a valuable resource. I’ll update the project and let you know how it goes!
