Constructor Details

CARTRegressionTrainer

public CARTRegressionTrainer(int maxDepth,
 float minChildWeight,
 float fractionFeaturesInSplit,
 RegressorImpurity impurity,
 long seed)

Creates a CART Trainer.

Parameters:

maxDepth - maxDepth The maximum depth of the tree.

minChildWeight - minChildWeight The minimum node weight to consider it for a split.

fractionFeaturesInSplit - fractionFeaturesInSplit The fraction of features available in each split.

impurity - impurity The impurity function to use to determine split quality.

seed - The RNG seed.

CARTRegressionTrainer

public CARTRegressionTrainer()

Creates a CART trainer. Sets the impurity to the MeanSquaredError, uses all the features, and sets the minimum number of examples in a leaf to AbstractCARTTrainer.MIN_EXAMPLES.

CARTRegressionTrainer

public CARTRegressionTrainer(int maxDepth)

Creates a CART trainer. Sets the impurity to the MeanSquaredError, uses all the features, and sets the minimum number of examples in a leaf to AbstractCARTTrainer.MIN_EXAMPLES.

Parameters:

maxDepth - The maximum depth of the tree.

Method Details

mkTrainingNode

protected AbstractTrainingNode<Regressor> mkTrainingNode(Dataset<Regressor> examples)

Specified by:

mkTrainingNode in class AbstractCARTTrainer<Regressor>

train

public TreeModel<Regressor> train(Dataset<Regressor> examples,
 Map<String, com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.provenance.Provenance> runProvenance)

Description copied from interface: SparseTrainer

Trains a sparse predictive model using the examples in the given data set.

Specified by:

train in interface SparseTrainer<Regressor>

Specified by:

train in interface Trainer<Regressor>

Overrides:

train in class AbstractCARTTrainer<Regressor>

Parameters:

examples - the data set containing the examples.

runProvenance - Training run specific provenance (e.g., fold number).

Returns:

a predictive model that can be used to generate predictions for new examples.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getProvenance

public TrainerProvenance getProvenance()
