SurrogateLearnerCollection {mlr3mbo}

Surrogate Model Containing Multiple Learners

Description

Surrogate model containing multiple mlr3::LearnerRegr. The mlr3::LearnerRegr are fit on the target variables as indicated via cols_y. Note that redundant mlr3::LearnerRegr must be deep clones.

Parameters

assert_insample_perf

logical(1)
Should the insample performance of the mlr3::LearnerRegr be asserted after updating the surrogate? If the assertion fails (i.e., the insample performance based on the perf_measure does not meet the perf_threshold), an error is thrown. Default is FALSE.

perf_measure

List of mlr3::MeasureRegr
Performance measures which should be use to assert the insample performance of the mlr3::LearnerRegr. Only relevant if assert_insample_perf = TRUE. Default is mlr3::mlr_measures_regr.rsq for each learner.

perf_threshold

List of numeric(1)
Thresholds the insample performance of the mlr3::LearnerRegr should be asserted against. Only relevant if assert_insample_perf = TRUE. Default is 0 for each learner.

catch_errors

logical(1)
Should errors during updating the surrogate be caught and propagated to the loop_function which can then handle the failed acquisition function optimization (as a result of the failed surrogate) appropriately by, e.g., proposing a randomly sampled point for evaluation? Default is TRUE.

Super class

mlr3mbo::Surrogate -> SurrogateLearnerCollection

Active bindings

print_id

(character)
Id used when printing.

n_learner

(integer(1))
Returns the number of surrogate models.

assert_insample_perf

(numeric())
Asserts whether the current insample performance meets the performance threshold.

packages

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

feature_types

(character())
Stores the feature types the surrogate can handle, e.g. "logical", "numeric", or "factor". A complete list of candidate feature types, grouped by task type, is stored in mlr_reflections$task_feature_types.

properties

(character())
Stores a set of properties/capabilities the surrogate has. A complete list of candidate properties, grouped by task type, is stored in mlr_reflections$learner_properties.

predict_type

(character(1))
Retrieves the currently active predict type, e.g. "response".

Methods

Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

SurrogateLearnerCollection$new(
  learners,
  archive = NULL,
  cols_x = NULL,
  cols_y = NULL
)

Arguments

learners

(list of mlr3::LearnerRegr).

archive

(bbotk::Archive | NULL)
bbotk::Archive of the bbotk::OptimInstance.

cols_x

(character() | NULL)
Column id's of variables that should be used as features. By default, automatically inferred based on the archive.

cols_y

(character() | NULL)
Column id's of variables that should be used as targets. By default, automatically inferred based on the archive.

Method predict()

Predict mean response and standard error. Returns a named list of data.tables. Each contains the mean response and standard error for one col_y.

Usage

SurrogateLearnerCollection$predict(xdt)

Arguments

xdt

(data.table::data.table())
New data. One row per observation.

Returns

list of data.table::data.table()s with the columns mean and se.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

SurrogateLearnerCollection$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
