xgboost precision

[KOVI89alipes]

Hi,

I found an issue with xgboost example
https://github.com/thesps/conifer/blob/master/examples/xgboost_to_hls.py

y_hls and y_xgb aren't close

y_hls = expit(model.decision_function(X_test))
y_xgb = bst.predict(dtest)
diff  =  y_xgb  - y_hls 
print(diff[abs(diff)>0.05])

 -0.13287621 -0.17924546 -0.10041202]

As soon as output is normalized to 1, absolute error up to 0.31 seems to be too high for practical usage.
Is it a known issue?

Hi, these examples are not at all optimized in terms of the precision used, which can have an effect on numerical accuracy. Did you try any tuning?

Nope, just vanilla example out of the box
