SuperModel: Super Learner Model

Description

Fit a super learner model to predictions from multiple base learners.

Usage

SuperModel(
  ...,
  model = GBMModel,
  control = MachineShop::settings("control"),
  all_vars = FALSE
)

Value

SuperModel class object that inherits from MLModel.

Arguments

...

model functions, function names, objects; other objects that can be coerced to models; or vector of these to serve as base learners.

model

model function, function name, or object defining the super model; or another object that can be coerced to the model.

control

control function, function name, or object defining the resampling method to be employed for the estimation of base learner weights.

all_vars

logical indicating whether to include the original predictor variables in the super model.

Details

Response types:

factor, numeric, ordered, Surv
