Examples

# Define the Learner
learner = mlr3::lrn("dens.spline")
print(learner)
#> <LearnerDensSpline:dens.spline>: Density Smoothing Splines
#> * Model: -
#> * Parameters: list()
#> * Packages: mlr3, mlr3proba, mlr3extralearners, gss
#> * Predict Types:  [pdf], cdf
#> * Feature Types: integer, numeric
#> * Properties: missings

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

# 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)
#> splineDens() 


# Make predictions for the test rows
predictions = learner$predict(task, row_ids = ids$test)
#> Error in env$fun(x, nu, env$env): gss error in phi: inputs are out of range

# Score the predictions
predictions$score()
#> Error: object 'predictions' not found
