Regression Random Forest Learner from Weka

Class for constructing a forest of random trees. 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

• store_out_of_bag_predictions:

  • original id: store-out-of-bag-predictions

• output_out_of_bag_complexity_statistics:

  • original id: output-out-of-bag-complexity-statistics

• num_slots:

  • original id: num-slots

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

• attribute-importance removed:

  • Compute and output attribute importance (mean impurity decrease method)

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

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via lrn():

lrn("regr.random_forest_weka")

Meta Information

• Task type: “regr”
