mlr_filters_performance: Predictive Performance Filter

In mlr3filters: Filter Based Feature Selection for 'mlr3'

Predictive Performance Filter

Description

Filter which uses the predictive performance of a mlr3::Learner as filter score. Performs a mlr3::resample() for each feature separately. The filter score is the aggregated performance of the mlr3::Measure, or the negated aggregated performance if the measure has to be minimized.

Super classes

Method new()

Create a FilterDISR object.

Usage

FilterPerformance$new(
  learner = mlr3::lrn("classif.featureless"),
  resampling = mlr3::rsmp("holdout"),
  measure = NULL
)

Arguments

learner

(mlr3::Learner)
mlr3::Learner to use for model fitting.

resampling

(mlr3::Resampling)
mlr3::Resampling to be used within resampling.

measure

(mlr3::Measure)
mlr3::Measure to be used for evaluating the performance.

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

FilterPerformance$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
