+    """Extreme Gradient Boosting, which is an efficient implementation of
+    gradient boosting framework. This package is its R interface. The package
+    includes efficient linear model solver and tree learning algorithms. The
+    package can automatically do parallel computation on a single machine which
+    could be more than 10 times faster than existing gradient boosting
+    packages. It supports various objective functions, including regression,
+    classification and ranking. The package is made to be extensible, so that
+    users are also allowed to define their own objectives easily."""
