In
LightGBM
3.0.0, thelgb.prepare*
family of functions were removed (#3075 , #3095). That release still technically left those functions in{lightgbm}
, but had them throw an error encouraging the use oflgb.convert()
andlgb.convert_with_rules()
.This PR proposes removing those functions completely. It's been more than a month since
LightGBM
3.0.0, so I think the deprecation has been in the package long enough.Removing these functions should slightly reduce the time it takes to build, install, and test the R package, and slightly reduce the size of the installed package.
