mlr_learners_regr.glm: Generalized Linear Regression

In mlr-org/mlr3extralearners: Extra Learners For mlr3

Generalized Linear Regression

Description

Generalized linear model. Calls stats::glm() from base package 'stats'. For logistic regression please use mlr_learners_classif.log_reg.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via lrn():

lrn("regr.glm")

Meta Information

• Task type: “regr”

• Predict Types: “response”, “se”

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

• Required Packages: mlr3, mlr3extralearners, 'stats'

Initial parameter values

• type

  • Actual default: "link"

  • Adjusted default: "response"

  • Reason for change: Response scale more natural for predictions.

Examples

# Define the Learner
learner = mlr3::lrn("regr.glm")
print(learner)

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

# 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)


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

# Score the predictions
predictions$score()
