Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

TaskRegr$new(id, backend, target)

Arguments

id

(character(1)) Identifier for the new instance.

backend

(DataBackend) Either a DataBackend, or any object which is convertible to a DataBackend with as_data_backend(). E.g., a data.frame() will be converted to a DataBackendDataTable.

target

(character(1)) Name of the target column.

Method truth()

True response for specified row_ids. Format depends on the task type. Defaults to all rows with role "use".
