task

(<a rd-options="" href="/link/character?package=mlr&version=2.15.0" data-mini-rdoc="mlr::character">character</a>)
Which columns to convert.
Default is all factor and character columns.

cols

(<code>numeric(1)</code>)
The smallest levels of a factor are merged until their combined proportion
w.r.t. the length of the factor exceeds <code>min.perc</code>.
Must be between 0 and 1.
Default is 0.01.

min.perc

(<code>character(1)</code>)
New name of merged level.
Default is &#8220;.merged&#8221;

new.level

Merges factor levels that occur only infrequently into combined levels with a higher frequency.

Interface to a large number of classification and
regression techniques, including machine-readable parameter
descriptions. There is also an experimental extension for survival
analysis, clustering and general, example-specific cost-sensitive
learning. Generic resampling, including cross-validation,
bootstrapping and subsampling. Hyperparameter tuning with modern
optimization techniques, for single- and multi-objective problems.
Filter and wrapper methods for feature selection. Extension of basic
learners with additional operations common in machine learning, also
allowing for easy nested resampling. Most operations can be
parallelized.
