TaskRegr: Regression Task

Description

This task specializes Task and TaskSupervised for regression problems. The target column is assumed to be numeric. The task_type is set to "regr".

Predefined tasks are stored in the dictionary mlr_tasks.

Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class. The function as_task_regr() provides an alternative way to construct regression tasks.

Usage

TaskRegr$new(id, backend, target, extra_args = list())

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.

extra_args

(named list()) Named list of constructor arguments, required for converting task types via convert_task().

Method truth()

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

Usage

TaskRegr$truth(rows = NULL)

Arguments

rows

integer() Row indices.

Returns

numeric().

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

TaskRegr$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
