Regression IBk Learner

Instance based algorithm: K-nearest neighbours regression. Calls RWeka::IBk() from RWeka.

Dictionary

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

mlr_learners$get("regr.IBk")
lrn("regr.IBk")

Meta Information

• Task type: “regr”

• Predict Types: “response”

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

• Required Packages: mlr3, mlr3extralearners, RWeka

Parameters

Id	Type	Default	Levels	Range
subset	untyped	-		-
na.action	untyped	-		-
weight	character	-	I, F	-
K	integer	1		\([1, \infty)\)
E	logical	FALSE	TRUE, FALSE	-
W	integer	0		\([0, \infty)\)
X	logical	FALSE	TRUE, FALSE	-
A	character	LinearNNSearch	BallTree, CoverTree, FilteredNeighbourSearch, KDTree, LinearNNSearch	-
output_debug_info	logical	FALSE	TRUE, FALSE	-
do_not_check_capabilities	logical	FALSE	TRUE, FALSE	-
num_decimal_places	integer	2		\([1, \infty)\)
batch_size	integer	100		\([1, \infty)\)
options	untyped	NULL		-

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

• weight:

  • original id: I and F

• Reason for change: original I and F params are interdependent (I can only be TRUE when F is FALSE and vice versa). The easiest way to encode this is to combine I and F into one factor param.
