Create model multiplexer for model selection to tune over multiple possible models.
Source:R/ModelMultiplexer.R
makeModelMultiplexer.RdCombines multiple base learners by dispatching on the hyperparameter “selected.learner” to a specific model class. This allows to tune not only the model class (SVM, random forest, etc) but also their hyperparameters in one go. Combine this with tuneParams and makeTuneControlIrace for a very powerful approach, see example below.
The parameter set is the union of all (unique) base learners. In order to
avoid name clashes all parameter names are prefixed with the base learner id,
i.e. learnerId.parameterName.
The predict.type of the Multiplexer is inherited from the predict.type of the base learners.
The getter getLearnerProperties returns the properties of the selected base learner.
makeModelMultiplexer(base.learners)
Arguments
| base.learners | ([list` of Learner) |
|---|
Value
(ModelMultiplexer). A Learner specialized as ModelMultiplexer.
Note
Note that logging output during tuning is somewhat shortened to make it more readable. I.e., the artificial prefix before parameter names is suppressed.
