mlr_learners_classif.gam: Classification Generalized Additive Model Learner

In mlr-org/mlr3extralearners: Extra Learners For mlr3

Classification Generalized Additive Model Learner

Description

Generalized additive models. Calls mgcv::gam() from package mgcv.

Multiclass classification is not implemented yet.

Formula

A gam formula specific to the task at hand is required for the formula parameter (see example and ?mgcv::formula.gam). Beware, if no formula is provided, a fallback formula is used that will make the gam behave like a glm (this behavior is required for the unit tests). Only features specified in the formula will be used, superseding columns with col_roles "feature" in the task.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("classif.gam")
lrn("classif.gam")

Meta Information

• Task type: “classif”

• Predict Types: “response”, “prob”
