Method to calculate loss of the base learner for the gradient boosting calculation.
Method to calculate loss of the base learner for the gradient boosting calculation. Note: This method is not used by the gradient boosting algorithm but is useful for debugging purposes.

Mean log loss of model on data
Method to calculate the loss gradients for the gradient boosting calculation for binary classification The gradient with respect to F(x) is: - 4 y / (1 + exp(2 y F(x)))
:: DeveloperApi :: Class for log loss calculation (for classification). This uses twice the binomial negative log likelihood, called "deviance" in Friedman (1999).
The log loss is defined as: 2 log(1 + exp(-2 y F(x))) where y is a label in {-1, 1} and F(x) is the model prediction for features x.
