mlr_learners_regr.rpart: Regression Tree Learner

In mlr3: Machine Learning in R - Next Generation

Regression Tree Learner

Description

A LearnerRegr for a regression tree implemented in rpart::rpart() in package rpart.

Initial parameter values

• Parameter xval is initialized to 0 in order to save some computation time.

Custom mlr3 parameters

• Parameter model has been renamed to keep_model.

Dictionary

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

mlr_learners$get("regr.rpart")
lrn("regr.rpart")
