mlr_graphs_bagging: Create a bagging learner

In mlr3pipelines: Preprocessing Operators and Pipelines for 'mlr3'

Create a bagging learner

Description

Creates a Graph that performs bagging for a supplied graph. This is done as follows:

• Subsample the data in each step using PipeOpSubsample, afterwards apply graph

• Replicate this step iterations times (in parallel via multiplicities)

• Average outputs of replicated graphs predictions using the averager (note that setting collect_multipliciy = TRUE is required)

All input arguments are cloned and have no references in common with the returned Graph.

Usage

pipeline_bagging(
  graph,
  iterations = 10,
  frac = 0.7,
  averager = NULL,
  replace = FALSE
)

Arguments

graph	PipeOp | Graph A PipeOpLearner or Graph to create a robustifying pipeline for. Outputs from the replicated graphs are connected with the averager.
iterations	integer(1) Number of bagging iterations. Defaults to 10.
frac	numeric(1) Percentage of rows to keep during subsampling. See PipeOpSubsample for more information. Defaults to 0.7.
averager	PipeOp | Graph A PipeOp or Graph that averages the predictions from the replicated and subsampled graph's. In the simplest case, po("classifavg") and po("regravg") can be used in order to perform simple averaging of classification and regression predictions respectively. If NULL (default), no averager is added to the end of the graph. Note that setting collect_multipliciy = TRUE during construction of the averager is required.
replace	logical(1) Whether to sample with replacement. Default FALSE.

Value

Graph

Examples

library(mlr3)
lrn_po = po("learner", lrn("regr.rpart"))
task = mlr_tasks$get("boston_housing")
gr = pipeline_bagging(lrn_po, 3, averager = po("regravg", collect_multiplicity = TRUE))
resample(task, GraphLearner$new(gr), rsmp("holdout"))$aggregate()

# The original bagging method uses boosting by sampling with replacement.
gr = ppl("bagging", lrn_po, frac = 1, replace = TRUE,
  averager = po("regravg", collect_multiplicity = TRUE))
resample(task, GraphLearner$new(gr), rsmp("holdout"))$aggregate()
