Classification Model-based Recursive Partitioning Learner

Model-based recursive partitioning algorithm. Calls partykit::mob() from mob.

Dictionary

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

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