GridSearchCV: Grid Search CV

In superml: Build Machine Learning Models Like Using Python's Scikit-Learn Library in R

Grid Search CV

Description

Runs grid search cross validation scheme to find best model training parameters.

Details

Grid search CV is used to train a machine learning model with multiple combinations of training hyper parameters and finds the best combination of parameters which optimizes the evaluation metric. It creates an exhaustive set of hyperparameter combinations and train model on each combination.

Public fields

trainer

superml trainer object, could be either XGBTrainer, RFTrainer, NBTrainer etc.

parameters

a list of parameters to tune

n_folds

number of folds to use to split the train data

scoring

scoring metric used to evaluate the best model, multiple values can be provided. currently supports: auc, accuracy, mse, rmse, logloss, mae, f1, precision, recall

evaluation_scores

parameter for internal use

Methods

Public methods

• GridSearchCV$new()

• GridSearchCV$fit()

• GridSearchCV$best_iteration()

• GridSearchCV$clone()
