This PR adds LightGBMRegressor as a third competing model alongside RandomForest and XGBoost in the regression pipeline.
What changed:
Justification:
LightGBM uses leaf-wise tree growth instead of depth-wise (XGBoost/RF), which is better suited for the feature-engineered dataset containing ratio and difference features with skewed distributions. It is faster to train and more memory-efficient on tabular data, making it a justified addition without disrupting the existing pipeline structure.
Results:
R² improved across all four non-special targets (CR21, CR54, CR13, CR23). Threshold accuracy showed mixed results — improved on CR21 and CR54, slightly lower on CR13 and CR23 — reflecting LightGBM's tradeoff of minimising squared error over threshold-based accuracy on those columns.
No changes to preprocessing, feature engineering, special targets, or output format.
