makeClassificationViaRegressionWrapper: Classification via regression wrapper.

Description

Builds regression models that predict for the positive class whether a particular example belongs to it (1) or not (-1).

Probabilities are generated by transforming the predictions with a softmax.

Inspired by WEKA's ClassificationViaRegression (http://weka.sourceforge.net/doc.dev/weka/classifiers/meta/ClassificationViaRegression.html).

Usage

makeClassificationViaRegressionWrapper(learner, predict.type = "response")

Value

Learner.

Arguments

learner

(Learner | character(1))
The learner. If you pass a string the learner will be created via makeLearner.

predict.type

(character(1))
“response” (= labels) or “prob” (= probabilities and labels by selecting the one with maximal probability).
