Gradient Boosting Classification Learner

Description

Gradient Boosting Classification Algorithm. Calls gbm::gbm() from gbm.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via lrn():

lrn("classif.gbm")

Meta Information

• Task type: “classif”

• Predict Types: “response”, “prob”

• Feature Types: “integer”, “numeric”, “factor”, “ordered”

• Required Packages: mlr3, mlr3extralearners, gbm

Parameters

Id	Type	Default	Levels	Range
distribution	character	bernoulli	bernoulli, adaboost, huberized, multinomial	-
n.trees	integer	100		[1, \infty)
interaction.depth	integer	1		[1, \infty)
n.minobsinnode	integer	10		[1, \infty)
shrinkage	numeric	0.001		[0, \infty)
bag.fraction	numeric	0.5		[0, 1]

Initial parameter values

• keep.data is initialized to FALSE to save memory.

• n.cores is initialized to 1 to avoid conflicts with parallelization through future.

Examples

# Define the Learner
learner = mlr3::lrn("classif.gbm")
print(learner)

# Define a Task
task = mlr3::tsk("sonar")

# Create train and test set
ids = mlr3::partition(task)

# Train the learner on the training ids
learner$train(task, row_ids = ids$train)

print(learner$model)
print(learner$importance())

# Make predictions for the test rows
predictions = learner$predict(task, row_ids = ids$test)

# Score the predictions
predictions$score()
