mlr_learners_regr.km {mlr3learners}

Kriging Regression Learner

Description

Kriging regression. Calls DiceKriging::km() from package DiceKriging.

• The predict type hyperparameter "type" defaults to "sk" (simple kriging).

• The additional hyperparameter nugget.stability is used to overwrite the hyperparameter nugget with nugget.stability * var(y) before training to improve the numerical stability. We recommend a value of 1e-8.

• The additional hyperparameter jitter can be set to add ⁠N(0, [jitter])⁠-distributed noise to the data before prediction to avoid perfect interpolation. We recommend a value of 1e-12.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("regr.km")
lrn("regr.km")
