filterParams: Get parameter subset of only certain parameters.

In ParamHelpers: Helpers for Parameters in Black-Box Optimization, Tuning and Machine Learning

Get parameter subset of only certain parameters.

Description

Parameter order is not changed. It is possible to filter via multiple arguments, e.g., first filter based on id, then the type and lastly tunable. The order in which the filters are executed is always fixed (id > type > tunable).

Usage

filterParams(
  par.set,
  ids = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  tunable = c(TRUE, FALSE),
  check.requires = FALSE
)

filterParamsNumeric(
  par.set,
  ids = NULL,
  tunable = c(TRUE, FALSE),
  include.int = TRUE
)

filterParamsDiscrete(
  par.set,
  ids = NULL,
  tunable = c(TRUE, FALSE),
  include.logical = TRUE
)

Arguments

par.set	ParamSet Parameter set.
ids	(NULL | character) Vector with id strings containing the parameters to select. Has to be a subset of the parameter names within the parameter set. Per default (ids = NULL) no filtering based on names is done.
type	(NULL | character) Vector of allowed types, subset of: “numeric”, “integer”, “numericvector”, “integervector”, “discrete”, “discretevector”, “logical”, “logicalvector”, “character”, “charactervector”, “function”, “untyped”. Setting type = NULL, which is the default, allows the consideration of all types.
tunable	(logical) Vector of allowed values for the property tunable. Accepted arguments are TRUE, FALSE or c(TRUE, FALSE). The default is c(TRUE, FALSE), i.e. none of the parameters will be filtered out.
check.requires	(logical(1)) Toggle whether it should be checked that all requirements in the (ParamSet()) are still valid after filtering or not. This check is done after filtering and will throw an error if those Params are filtered which other Params need for their requirements. Default is FALSE.
include.int	(logical(1)) Are integers also considered to be numeric? Default is TRUE.
include.logical	(logical(1)) Are logicals also considered to be discrete? Default is TRUE.

Value

ParamSet().

Examples

ps = makeParamSet(
  makeNumericParam("u", lower = 1),
  makeIntegerParam("v", lower = 1, upper = 2),
  makeDiscreteParam("w", values = 1:2),
  makeLogicalParam("x"),
  makeCharacterParam("s"),
  makeNumericParam("y", tunable = FALSE)
)

# filter for numeric and integer parameters
filterParams(ps, type = c("integer", "numeric"))

# filter for tunable, numeric parameters
filterParams(ps, type = "numeric", tunable = TRUE)

# filter for all numeric parameters among "u", "v" and "x"
filterParams(ps, type = "numeric", ids = c("u", "v", "x"))
