Method new()

Create a new prediction model object

Usage

ml_model$new(
  formula = NULL,
  estimate,
  predict = stats::predict,
  predict.args = NULL,
  info = NULL,
  specials,
  response.arg = "y",
  x.arg = "x",
  ...
)

Arguments

formula

formula specifying outcome and design matrix

estimate

function for fitting the model (must be a function response, 'y', and design matrix, 'x'. Alternatively, a function with a single 'formula' argument)

predict

prediction function (must be a function of model object, 'object', and new design matrix, 'newdata')

predict.args

optional arguments to prediction function

info

optional description of the model

specials

optional additional terms (weights, offset, id, subset, ...) passed to 'estimate'

response.arg

name of response argument

x.arg

name of design matrix argument

...

optional arguments to fitting function

---

Method estimate()

Estimation method

Usage

ml_model$estimate(data, ..., store = TRUE)

Arguments

data

data.frame

...

Additional arguments to estimation method

store

Logical determining if estimated model should be stored inside the class.

---

Method predict()

Prediction method

Usage

ml_model$predict(newdata, ..., object = NULL)

Arguments

newdata

data.frame

Additional arguments to prediction method

object

Optional model fit object

Method update()

Update formula

Usage

ml_model$update(formula, ...)

Arguments

formula

formula or character which defines the new response

...

Additional arguments to lower level functions

---

Method print()

Print method

Usage

ml_model$print(...)

Arguments

...

Additional arguments to lower level functions

---

Method response()

Extract response from data

Usage

additional arguments to 'design'

---

Method design()

Extract design matrix (features) from data

Usage

ml_model$design(data, ...)

Arguments

data

data.frame

...

additional arguments to 'design'

---

Method opt()

Get options

Usage

ml_model$opt(arg, ...)

Arguments

arg

name of option to get value of

...

additional arguments to lower level functions

Examples

data(iris)
rf <- function(formula, ...)
ml_model$new(formula, info="grf::probability_forest",
  estimate=function(x,y, ...) grf::probability_forest(X=x, Y=y, ...),
  predict=function(object, newdata)
             predict(object, newdata)$predictions, ...)

args <- expand.list(num.trees=c(100,200), mtry=1:3,
          formula=c(Species ~ ., Species ~ Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width))
models <- lapply(args, function(par) do.call(rf, par))

x <- models[[1]]$clone()
x$estimate(iris)
predict(x, newdata=head(iris))

 # Reduce Ex. timing
a <- targeted::cv(models, data=iris)
cbind(coef(a), attr(args, "table"))


ff <- ml_model$new(estimate=function(y,x) lm.fit(x=x, y=y),
        predict=function(object, newdata) newdata%*%object$coefficients)
## tmp <- ff$estimate(y, x=x)
## ff$predict(x)
