bag_mars: Ensembles of MARS models

In parsnip: A Common API to Modeling and Analysis Functions

Ensembles of MARS models

Description

bag_mars() defines an ensemble of generalized linear models that use artificial features for some predictors. These features resemble hinge functions and the result is a model that is a segmented regression in small dimensions. This function can fit classification and regression models.

More information on how parsnip is used for modeling is at https://www.tidymodels.org/.

Usage

bag_mars(
  mode = "unknown",
  num_terms = NULL,
  prod_degree = NULL,
  prune_method = NULL,
  engine = "earth"
)

Arguments

mode	A single character string for the prediction outcome mode. Possible values for this model are "unknown", "regression", or "classification".
num_terms	The number of features that will be retained in the final model, including the intercept.
prod_degree	The highest possible interaction degree.
prune_method	The pruning method.
engine	A single character string specifying what computational engine to use for fitting.

Details

This function only defines what type of model is being fit. Once an engine is specified, the method to fit the model is also defined. See set_engine() for more on setting the engine, including how to set engine arguments.

The model is not trained or fit until the fit() function is used with the data.

Each of the arguments in this function other than mode and engine are captured as quosures. To pass values programmatically, use the injection operator like so:

value <- 1
bag_mars(argument = !!value)
