mlr_learners_classif.featureless: Featureless Classification Learner

In mlr3: Machine Learning in R - Next Generation

Featureless Classification Learner

Description

A simple LearnerClassif which only analyzes the labels during train, ignoring all features. Hyperparameter method determines the mode of operation during prediction:

mode:

Predicts the most frequent label. If there are two or more labels tied, randomly selects one per prediction. Probabilities correspond to the relative frequency of the class labels in the training set.

sample:

Randomly predict a label uniformly. Probabilities correspond to a uniform distribution of class labels, i.e. 1 divided by the number of classes.

weighted.sample:

Randomly predict a label, with probability estimated from the training distribution. For consistency, probabilities are 1 for the sampled label and 0 for all other labels.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("classif.featureless")
lrn("classif.featureless")
