mlr_learners_regr.gbm: Regression Gradient Boosting Machine Learner

In mlr-org/mlr3extralearners: Extra Learners For mlr3

Regression Gradient Boosting Machine Learner

Description

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

Weights are ignored for quantile prediction.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via lrn():

lrn("regr.gbm")

Meta Information

• Task type: “regr”

• Predict Types: “response”, “quantiles”

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

• Required Packages: mlr3, mlr3extralearners, gbm

Parameters

Id	Type	Default	Levels	Range
distribution	character	gaussian	gaussian, laplace, poisson, tdist	-
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]
train.fraction	numeric	1		[0, 1]
cv.folds	integer	0		(-\infty, \infty)
keep.data	logical	FALSE	TRUE, FALSE	-
verbose	logical	FALSE	TRUE, FALSE	-
n.cores	integer	1		(-\infty, \infty)
var.monotone	untyped	-		-

Parameter changes

• keep.data:

  • Actual default: TRUE

  • Adjusted default: FALSE

  • Reason for change: keep.data = FALSE saves memory during model fitting.

• n.cores:

  • Actual default: NULL

  • Adjusted default: 1

  • Reason for change: Suppressing the automatic internal parallelization if cv.folds > 0.
