Regression.Batch.Fit: Batch Training, Prediction and Diagnostics of Regression Base...

In EnsembleBase: Extensible Package for Parallel, Batch Training of Base Learners for Ensemble Modeling

Description

Batch Training, Prediction and Diagnostics of Regression Base Learners.

Usage

Regression.Batch.Fit(config.list, formula, data, ncores = 1
  , filemethod = FALSE, print.level = 1)
## S3 method for class 'Regression.Batch.FitObj'
predict(object, ..., ncores=1)
## S3 method for class 'Regression.Batch.FitObj'
plot(x, errfun=rmse.error, ...)

Arguments

config.list	List of configuration objects for batch of base learners to be trained.
formula	Formula objects expressing response and covariates.
data	Data frame containing response and covariates.
ncores	Number of cores to use during parallel training.
filemethod	Boolean indicator of whether to save estimation objects to disk or not.
print.level	Determining level of command-line output verbosity during training.
object	Object of class Regression.Batch.FitObj to make predictions for.
...	Arguments to be passed from/to other functions.
x	Object of class Regression.Batch.FitObj to plot.
errfun	Error function to use for calculating errors plotted.

Value

Function Regression.Batch.Fit returns an object of class Regression.Batch.FitObj. Function predict.Regression.Batch.FitObj returns a matrix of predictions, each column corresponding to one base learner in the trained batch. Function plot.Regression.Batch.FitObj creates a plot of base learner errors over the training set, grouped by type of base learner (all configurations within a given base learner using the same symbol).

perc.train <- 0.7
index.train <- sample(1:nrow(servo), size = round(perc.train*nrow(servo)))
data.train <- servo[index.train,]
data.predict <- servo[-index.train,]
ret <- Regression.Batch.Fit(myconfigs, myformula, data.train, ncores=2)
newpred <- predict(ret, data.predict)
