mlr_pipeops_imputeoor: Out of Range Imputation

Description

Impute factorial features by adding a new level ".MISSING".

Impute numerical features by constant values shifted below the minimum or above the maximum by using $min(x) - offset - multiplier * diff(range(x))$ or $max(x) + offset + multiplier * diff(range(x))$.

This type of imputation is especially sensible in the context of tree-based methods, see also Ding & Simonoff (2010).

Arguments

Format

R6Class object inheriting from PipeOpImpute/PipeOp.

Construction

PipeOpImputeOOR$new(id = "imputeoor", param_vals = list())

id :: character(1)
Identifier of resulting object, default "imputeoor".
param_vals :: named list
List of hyperparameter settings, overwriting the hyperparameter settings that would otherwise be set during construction. Default list().

Input and Output Channels

Input and output channels are inherited from PipeOpImpute.

The output is the input Task with all affected features having missing values imputed as described above.

State

The $state is a named list with the $state elements inherited from PipeOpImpute.

The $state$model contains either ".MISSING" used for character and factor (also ordered) features or numeric(1) indicating the constant value used for imputation of integer and numeric features.

Parameters

The parameters are the parameters inherited from PipeOpImpute, as well as:

min :: logical(1)
Should integer and numeric features be shifted below the minimum? Initialized to TRUE. If FALSE they are shifted above the maximum. See also the description above.
offset :: numeric(1)
Numerical non-negative offset as used in the description above for integer and numeric features. Initialized to 1.
multiplier :: numeric(1)
Numerical non-negative multiplier as used in the description above for integer and numeric features. Initialized to 1.

Internals

Adds an explicit new level() to factor and ordered features, but not to character features. For integer and numeric features uses the min, max, diff and range functions. integer and numeric features that are entirely NA are imputed as 0.

Methods

Only methods inherited from PipeOpImpute/PipeOp.
