pp_rand_forest: Parsnip model specification for pprf.

In ppforest2: Projection Pursuit Oblique Decision Trees and Random Forests

Parsnip model specification for pprf.

Description

Creates a model specification for a Projection Pursuit random forest. Use set_engine("ppforest2") to select the ppforest2 engine.

Usage

pp_rand_forest(
  mode = "classification",
  trees = NULL,
  mtry = NULL,
  mtry_prop = NULL,
  penalty = NULL
)

Arguments

mode	A character string for the model type. Either "classification" or "regression".
trees	The number of trees in the forest (maps to size).
mtry	The number of variables to consider at each split (maps to n_vars).
mtry_prop	The proportion of variables to consider at each split (maps to p_vars). An alternative to mtry that expresses the feature subsample as a fraction in (0, 1], tunable via the dials mtry_prop() parameter. Supply mtry or mtry_prop, not both.
penalty	The regularization parameter (maps to lambda).

Value

A parsnip model specification.

Examples

if (requireNamespace("parsnip", quietly = TRUE)) {
  library(parsnip)
  spec <- pp_rand_forest(trees = 50, mtry = 2) %>% set_engine("ppforest2")
  fit <- spec %>% fit(Species ~ ., data = iris)
  predict(fit, iris)
  predict(fit, iris, type = "prob")
}
