mlr_resamplings_spcv_env: (blockCV) "Environmental blocking" resampling

In mlr3spatiotempcv: Spatiotemporal Resampling Methods for 'mlr3'

(blockCV) "Environmental blocking" resampling

Description

Splits data by clustering in the feature space. See the upstream implementation at blockCV::cv_cluster() and Valavi et al. (2018) for further information.

Details

Useful when the dataset is supposed to be split on environmental information which is present in features. The method allows for a combination of multiple features for clustering.

The input of raster images directly as in blockCV::cv_cluster() is not supported. See mlr3spatial and its raster DataBackends for such support in mlr3.

Parameters

• folds (integer(1))
  Number of folds.

• features (character())
  The features to use for clustering.

Super class

mlr3::Resampling -> ResamplingSpCVEnv

Active bindings

iters

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