Regression.CV.Fit: Cross-Validated Training and Prediction of Regression Base...

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

Description

This function trains the base learner indicated in the configuration object in a cross-validation scheme using the partition argument. The cross-validated predictions are assembled and returned in the pred slot of the Regression.CV.FitObj object. Individual trained base learners are also assembled and returned in the return object, and used in the predict method.

Usage

Regression.CV.Fit(regression.config, formula, data
  , partition, tmpfiles = NULL, print.level = 1)
## S3 method for class 'Regression.CV.FitObj'
predict(object, newdata=NULL, ...)

Arguments

regression.config	An object of class Regression.Config (must be a concrete implementation of the base class, such as KNN.Regression.Config).
formula	Formula object expressing response and covariates.
data	Data frame containing response and covariates.
partition	Data partition, typically the output of generate.partition function.
tmpfiles	List of temporary files to save the est field of the output Regression.FitObj.
print.level	Integer setting verbosity level of command-line output during training.
object	An object of class Regression.FitObj.
newdata	Data frame containing new observations.
...	Arguments passed to/from other methods.

Value

Function Regression.CV.Fit returns an object of class Regression.CV.FitObj. Function predict.Regression.CV.FitObj returns a numeric vector of length nrow(newdata).

data.predict <- servo[-index.train,]
mypartition <- generate.partition(nrow(data.train),nfold=3)
ret <- Regression.CV.Fit(myconfig[[1]], myformula, data.train, mypartition)
newpred <- predict(ret, data.predict)
