RegressionEstObj-class

<p>Union of (converted) S3 classes for individual base learners as defined in their corresponding packages. The special class "character" has been added to allow for returning filepaths when saving estimation objects to disk.</p>

classes

Extensible S4 classes and methods for batch training of regression and classification algorithms such as Random Forest, Gradient Boosting Machine, Neural Network, Support Vector Machines, K-Nearest Neighbors, Penalized Regression (L1/L2), and Bayesian Additive Regression Trees. These algorithms constitute a set of 'base learners', which can subsequently be combined together to form ensemble predictions. This package provides cross-validation wrappers to allow for downstream application of ensemble integration techniques, including best-error selection. All base learner estimation objects are retained, allowing for repeated prediction calls without the need for re-training. For large problems, an option is provided to save estimation objects to disk, along with prediction methods that utilize these objects. This allows users to train and predict with large ensembles of base learners without being constrained by system RAM.
