Regression Gaussian Processes Learner From Weka

Gaussian Processes. Calls RWeka::make_Weka_classifier() from RWeka.

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

• E_poly:

  • original id: E

• L_poly:

  • original id: L (duplicated L for when K is set to PolyKernel)

• C_poly:

  • original id: C

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

• output-debug-info for kernel parameter removed:

  • enables debugging output (if available) to be printed

• Reason for change: The parameter is removed because it's unclear how to actually use it.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via lrn():
