mlr_task_generators_2dnormals: 2D Normals Classification Task Generator

In mlr3: Machine Learning in R - Next Generation

2D Normals Classification Task Generator

Description

A TaskGenerator for the 2d normals task in mlbench::mlbench.2dnormals().

Dictionary

This TaskGenerator can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_task_generators or with the associated sugar function tgen():

mlr_task_generators$get("2dnormals")
tgen("2dnormals")

Parameters

Id	Type	Default	Range
cl	integer	-	[2, \infty)
r	numeric	-	[1, \infty)
sd	numeric	-	[0, \infty)
