GrootCV, arfs 2.3.3, warning about LGBMDeprecationWarning

[juanramonua]

First of all, I like this package for feature selection. I find it very complete and interesting.

On the other hand, using the latest version 2.3.3 when I use GrootCV I get a warning about LGBMDeprecationWarning. I imagine it will be easy to solve.

/usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/lightgbm/engine.py:186: LGBMDeprecationWarning:

Argument 'categorical_feature' to train() is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Set 'categorical_feature' when calling lightgbm.Dataset() instead. See https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/issues/6435.

Best regards.

Hey @juanramonua

Thanks for pointing that out 🙌. I'll check if upgrading LightGBM is straightforward and doesn't disrupt our current workflow. I'll need to make sure they haven't changed anything else that might affect the syntax or functionality of our components.

I'll update it when done
