mlr_fselectors_genetic_search: Feature Selection with Genetic Search

In mlr3fselect: Feature Selection for 'mlr3'

Feature Selection with Genetic Search

Description

Feature selection using the Genetic Algorithm from the package genalg.

Dictionary

This FSelector can be instantiated with the associated sugar function fs():

fs("genetic_search")

Control Parameters

For the meaning of the control parameters, see genalg::rbga.bin(). genalg::rbga.bin() internally terminates after iters iteration. We set ìters = 100000 to allow the termination via our terminators. If more iterations are needed, set ìters to a higher value in the parameter set.

Examples

# Feature Selection


# retrieve task and load learner
task = tsk("penguins")
learner = lrn("classif.rpart")

# run feature selection on the Palmer Penguins data set
instance = fselect(
  fselector = fs("genetic_search"),
  task = task,
  learner = learner,
  resampling = rsmp("holdout"),
  measure = msr("classif.ce"),
  term_evals = 10
)

# best performing feature set
instance$result

# all evaluated feature sets
as.data.table(instance$archive)

# subset the task and fit the final model
task$select(instance$result_feature_set)
learner$train(task)
