Tuning of Random Forest Spatial Interpolation (RFSI) model

Description

Function for tuning of Random Forest Spatial Interpolation (RFSI) model using k-fold leave-location-out cross-validation (Sekulić et al. 2020).

Usage

tune.rfsi(formula,
          data,
          data.staid.x.y.z = NULL,
          use.idw = FALSE,
          s.crs = NA,
          p.crs = NA,
          tgrid,
          tgrid.n=10,
          tune.type = "LLO",
          k = 5,
          seed=42,
          folds,
          acc.metric,
          fit.final.model=TRUE,
          cpus = detectCores()-1,
          progress = TRUE,
          soil3d = FALSE,
          no.obs = 'increase',
          ...)

Arguments

formula	formula; Formula for specifying target variable and covariates (without nearest observations and distances to them). If z~1, an RFSI model using only nearest obsevrations and distances to them as covariates will be tuned.
data	sf-class, sftime-class, SpatVector-class or data.frame; Contains target variable (observations) and covariates used for making an RFSI model. If data.frame object, it should have next columns: station ID (staid), longitude (x), latitude (y), 3rd component - time, depth, ... (z) of the observation, observation value (obs) and covariates (cov1, cov2, ...). If covariates are missing, the RFSI model using only nearest obsevrations and distances to them as covariates (formula=z~1) will be tuned.
data.staid.x.y.z	numeric or character vector; Positions or names of the station ID (staid), longitude (x), latitude (y) and 3rd component (z) columns in data.frame object (e.g. c(1,2,3,4)). If data is sf-class, sftime-class, or SpatVector-class object, data.staid.x.y.z is used to point staid and z position. Set z position to NA (e.g. c(1,2,3,NA)) or ommit it (e.g. c(1,2,3)) for spatial interpolation. Default is NULL.
use.idw	boolean; IDW prediction as covariate - will IDW predictions from n.obs nearest observations be calculated and tuned (see function near.obs). Default is FALSE.
s.crs	st_crs or crs; Source CRS of data. If data contains crs, s.crs will be overwritten. Default is NA.
p.crs	st_crs or crs; Projection CRS for data reprojection. If NA, s.crs will be used for distance calculation. Note that observations should be in projection for finding nearest observations based on Eucleadean distances (see function near.obs). Default is NA.
tgrid	data.frame; Possible tuning parameters. The column names are same as the tuning parameters. Possible tuning parameters are: n.obs, num.trees, mtry, min.node.size, sample.fraction, splirule, idw.p, and depth.range.
tgrid.n	numeric; Number of randomly chosen tgrid combinations for tuning of RFSI. If larger than tgrid, will be set to length(tgrid)
tune.type	character; Type of cross-validation: leave-location-out ("LLO"), leave-time-out ("LTO") - TO DO, and leave-location-time-out ("LLTO") - TO DO. Default is "LLO".
k	numeric; Number of random folds that will be created with CreateSpacetimeFolds function if folds is column. Default is 5.
seed	numeric; Random seed that will be used to generate folds with CreateSpacetimeFolds function.
folds	numeric or character vector or value; Showing folds column (if value) or rows (vector) of data observations used for cross-validation. If missing, will be created with CreateSpacetimeFolds function.
acc.metric	character; Accuracy metric that will be used as a criteria for choosing an optimal RFSI model. Possible values for regression: "ME", "MAE", "NMAE", "RMSE" (default), "NRMSE", "R2", "CCC". Possible values for classification: "Accuracy","Kappa" (default), "AccuracyLower", "AccuracyUpper", "AccuracyNull", "AccuracyPValue", "McnemarPValue".
fit.final.model	boolean; Fit the final RFSI model. Defailt is TRUE.
cpus	numeric; Number of processing units. Default is detectCores()-1.
progress	logical; If progress bar is shown. Default is TRUE.
soil3d	logical; If 3D soil modellig is performed and near.obs.soil function is used for finding n nearest observations and distances to them. In this case, z position of the data.staid.x.y.z points to the depth column.
no.obs	character; Possible values are increase (default) and exactly. If set to increase, in case if there is no n.obs observations in depth.range for a specific location, the depth.range is increased (multiplied by 2, 3, ...) until the number of observations are larger or equal to n.obs. If set to exactly, the function will raise an error when it come to the first location with no n.obs observations in specified depth.range (see function near.obs.soil).
...	Further arguments passed to ranger.

Value

A list with elements:

combinations	data.frame; All tuned parameter combinations with chosen accuracy metric value.
tuned.parameters	numeric vector; Tuned parameters with chosen accuracy metric value.
final.model	ranger; Final RFSI model (if fit.final.model=TRUE).
