[scikit-learn] custom loss function in RandomForestRegressor

Is it possible to compile just _criterion.pyx and _criterion.pxd files by
using "importpyx" or any alternative way instead of compiling the whole
sklearn library every time I introduce a change?

Yes you are right pxd are the header and pyx the definition. You need to
write a class as MSE. Criterion is an abstract class or base class (I don't
have it under the eye)

@Andy: if I recall the PR, we made the classes public to enable such custom
criterion. However, ‎it is not documented since we were not officially
supporting it. So this is an hidden feature. We could always discuss to
make this feature more visible and document it.

Sorry I don't know Cython at all. _criterion.pxd is like the header file in
C++? I see that it contains class, function and variable definitions and
their description in comments.

class Criterion is an Interface, doesn't have function definitions. By
"writing your own criterion with a given loss" you mean writing a class
like MSE(RegressionCriterion)?
