The correct answer is:
Statement Binding/Execution Order in Snowflake One of the things I like about Snowflake is it’s not as strict about when clauses are made available to other clauses. For example in the following: WITH tbl (name, age) as ( SELECT * FROM values ('david',10), ('tom',20) ) select name, age, year(current_timestamp())-age as birthyear from tbl where birthyear > 2010; I can use birthyear in the WHERE clause. This would be in contrast to something like SQL Server, where the binding is much more strict, for example here.

The Benefits and Limitations of Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs) in Data Preprocessing and Model Performance
Understanding Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs) Introduction to Gradient Boosting Machines Gradient Boosting Machines are an ensemble learning method that combines multiple weak models to create a strong predictive model. The goal of GBM is to reduce the error of each individual model by using the residuals of previous models as the features for the next model, hence the name “gradient boosting”. This approach has proven to be highly effective in handling complex datasets with non-linear relationships.
