Classification Gradient Boosting Machine Learner

Calls gbm::gbm from package gbm.

Dictionary

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

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

Traits

• Packages: gbm

• Predict Types: response, prob

• Feature Types: integer, numeric, factor, ordered

• Properties: importance, missings, multiclass, twoclass, weights

Custom mlr3 defaults

• 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.
