SL.kernelKnn: SL wrapper for KernelKNN

In SuperLearner: Super Learner Prediction

SL wrapper for KernelKNN

Description

Wrapper for a configurable implementation of k-nearest neighbors. Supports both binomial and gaussian outcome distributions.

Usage

SL.kernelKnn(
  Y,
  X,
  newX,
  family,
  k = 10,
  method = "euclidean",
  weights_function = NULL,
  extrema = F,
  h = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

Y	Outcome variable
X	Training dataframe
newX	Test dataframe
family	Gaussian or binomial
k	Number of nearest neighbors to use
method	Distance method, can be 'euclidean' (default), 'manhattan', 'chebyshev', 'canberra', 'braycurtis', 'pearson_correlation', 'simple_matching_coefficient', 'minkowski' (by default the order 'p' of the minkowski parameter equals k), 'hamming', 'mahalanobis', 'jaccard_coefficient', 'Rao_coefficient'
weights_function	Weighting method for combining the nearest neighbors. Can be 'uniform' (default), 'triangular', 'epanechnikov', 'biweight', 'triweight', 'tricube', 'gaussian', 'cosine', 'logistic', 'gaussianSimple', 'silverman', 'inverse', 'exponential'.
extrema	if TRUE then the minimum and maximum values from the k-nearest-neighbors will be removed (can be thought as outlier removal).
h	the bandwidth, applicable if the weights_function is not NULL. Defaults to 1.0.
...	Any additional parameters

Value

List with predictions and the original training data & hyperparameters.
