Regression Stochastic Gradient Descent Learner

Stochastic Gradient Descent for learning various linear models. Calls RWeka::make_Weka_classifier() from RWeka.

Initial parameter values

• F:

  • Has only 3 out of 5 original loss functions: 2 = squared loss (regression), 3 = epsilon insensitive loss (regression) and 4 = Huber loss (regression) with 2 (squared loss) being the new default

  • Reason for change: this learner should only contain loss functions appropriate for regression tasks

Custom mlr3 parameters

• output_debug_info:

  • original id: output-debug-info

• do_not_check_capabilities:

  • original id: do-not-check-capabilities

• num_decimal_places:

  • original id: num-decimal-places

• batch_size:

  • original id: batch-size

• Reason for change: This learner contains changed ids of the following control arguments since their ids contain irregular pattern

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via lrn():

lrn("regr.sgd")

Meta Information

• Task type: “regr”

• Predict Types: “response”

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