buildEnsembleStack: Ensemble: Stacking

Description

Generates an ensemble of surrogate models with stacking (stacked generalization).

Usage

buildEnsembleStack(x, y, control = list())

Arguments

x

design matrix (sample locations), rows for each sample, columns for each variable.

y

vector of observations at x

control

(list), with the options for the model building procedure: modelL1 Function for fitting the L1 model (default: buildLM) which combines the results of the L0 models. modelL1Control List of control parameters for the L1 model (default: list()). modelL0 A list of functions for fitting the L0 models (default: list(buildLM,buildRandomForest,buildKriging)). modelL0Control List of control lists for each L0 model (default: list(list(),list(),list())).

Value

returns an object of class ensembleStack.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## Create design points
x <- cbind(runif(20)*15-5,runif(20)*15)
## Compute observations at design points
y <- funBranin(x)
## Create model with default settings
fit <- buildEnsembleStack(x,y)
## Predict new point
predict(fit,cbind(1,2))
## True value at location
funBranin(matrix( c(1,2), 1))
