mlr_resamplings_holdout: Holdout Resampling

In mlr3: Machine Learning in R - Next Generation

Holdout Resampling

Description

Splits data into a training set and a test set. Parameter ratio determines the ratio of observation going into the training set (default: 2/3).

Dictionary

This Resampling can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_resamplings or with the associated sugar function rsmp():

mlr_resamplings$get("holdout")
rsmp("holdout")

Parameters

• ratio (numeric(1))
  Ratio of observations to put into the training set.

Super class

mlr3::Resampling -> ResamplingHoldout

Active bindings

iters

(integer(1))
Returns the number of resampling iterations, depending on the values stored in the param_set.
