LearnerClust {mlr3cluster}

Cluster Learner

Description

This Learner specializes mlr3::Learner for cluster problems:

• task_type is set to "clust".

• Creates Predictions of class PredictionClust.

• Possible values for predict_types are:

  • "partition": Integer indicating the cluster membership.

  • "prob": Probability for belonging to each cluster.

Predefined learners can be found in the mlr3misc::Dictionary mlr3::mlr_learners.

Super class

mlr3::Learner -> LearnerClust

Public fields

assignments

(NULL | vector())
Cluster assignments from learned model.

save_assignments

(logical())
Should assignments for 'train' data be saved in the learner? Default is TRUE.

Methods

Public methods

• LearnerClust$new()

• LearnerClust$reset()

• LearnerClust$clone()

Inherited methods

• mlr3::Learner$base_learner()
• mlr3::Learner$format()
• mlr3::Learner$help()
• mlr3::Learner$predict()
• mlr3::Learner$predict_newdata()
• mlr3::Learner$print()
• mlr3::Learner$train()

Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

LearnerClust$new(
  id,
  param_set = ps(),
  predict_types = "partition",
  feature_types = character(),
  properties = character(),
  packages = character(),
  label = NA_character_,
  man = NA_character_
)

Arguments

id

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

param_set

(paradox::ParamSet)
Set of hyperparameters.

predict_types

(character())
Supported predict types. Must be a subset of mlr_reflections$learner_predict_types.

feature_types

(character())
Feature types the learner operates on. Must be a subset of mlr_reflections$task_feature_types.

properties

(character())
Set of properties of the Learner. Must be a subset of mlr_reflections$learner_properties. The following properties are currently standardized and understood by learners in mlr3:

• "missings": The learner can handle missing values in the data.

• "weights": The learner supports observation weights.

• "importance": The learner supports extraction of importance scores, i.e. comes with an ⁠$importance()⁠ extractor function (see section on optional extractors in Learner).

• "selected_features": The learner supports extraction of the set of selected features, i.e. comes with a ⁠$selected_features()⁠ extractor function (see section on optional extractors in Learner).

• "oob_error": The learner supports extraction of estimated out of bag error, i.e. comes with a oob_error() extractor function (see section on optional extractors in Learner).

packages

(character())
Set of required packages. A warning is signaled by the constructor if at least one of the packages is not installed, but loaded (not attached) later on-demand via requireNamespace().

label

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

man

(character(1))
String in the format ⁠[pkg]::[topic]⁠ pointing to a manual page for this object. The referenced help package can be opened via method ⁠$help()⁠.

Method reset()

Reset assignments field before calling parent's reset().

Usage

LearnerClust$reset()

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

LearnerClust$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Examples

library(mlr3)
library(mlr3cluster)
ids = mlr_learners$keys("^clust")
ids

# get a specific learner from mlr_learners:
learner = lrn("clust.kmeans")
print(learner)
