Arguments

object

A model specification.

parameters

A 1-row tibble or named list with main parameters to update. Use either parameters or the main arguments directly when updating. If the main arguments are used, these will supersede the values in parameters. Also, using engine arguments in this object will result in an error.

num_terms

The number of features that will be retained in the final model, including the intercept.

prod_degree

The highest possible interaction degree.

prune_method

The pruning method.

fresh

A logical for whether the arguments should be modified in-place or replaced wholesale.

...

Not used for update().

hidden_units

An integer for the number of units in the hidden model.

penalty

An non-negative number representing the amount of regularization used by some of the engines.

epochs

An integer for the number of training iterations.

cost_complexity

A positive number for the the cost/complexity parameter (a.k.a. Cp) used by CART models (specific engines only).

tree_depth

An integer for maximum depth of the tree.

min_n

An integer for the minimum number of data points in a node that are required for the node to be split further.

class_cost

A non-negative scalar for a class cost (where a cost of 1 means no extra cost). This is useful for when the first level of the outcome factor is the minority class. If this is not the case, values between zero and one can be used to bias to the second level of the factor.

trees

An integer for the number of trees contained in the ensemble.

prior_terminal_node_coef

A coefficient for the prior probability that a node is a terminal node.

prior_terminal_node_expo

An exponent in the prior probability that a node is a terminal node.

prior_outcome_range

A positive value that defines the width of a prior that the predicted outcome is within a certain range. For regression it is related to the observed range of the data; the prior is the number of standard deviations of a Gaussian distribution defined by the observed range of the data. For classification, it is defined as the range of +/-3 (assumed to be on the logit scale). The default value is 2.

mtry

A number for the number (or proportion) of predictors that will be randomly sampled at each split when creating the tree models (specific engines only).

learn_rate

A number for the rate at which the boosting algorithm adapts from iteration-to-iteration (specific engines only). This is sometimes referred to as the shrinkage parameter.

loss_reduction

A number for the reduction in the loss function required to split further (specific engines only).

sample_size

A number for the number (or proportion) of data that is exposed to the fitting routine. For xgboost, the sampling is done at each iteration while C5.0 samples once during training.

stop_iter

The number of iterations without improvement before stopping (specific engines only).

committees

A non-negative integer (no greater than 100) for the number of members of the ensemble.

neighbors

An integer between zero and nine for the number of training set instances that are used to adjust the model-based prediction.

max_rules

The largest number of rules.

regularization_method

A character string for the type of regularized estimation. Possible values are: "diagonal", "min_distance", "shrink_cov", and "shrink_mean" (sparsediscrim engine only).

frac_common_cov, frac_identity

Numeric values between zero and one.

select_features

TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, the model has the ability to eliminate a predictor (via penalization). Increasing adjust_deg_free will increase the likelihood of removing predictors.

adjust_deg_free

If select_features = TRUE, then acts as a multiplier for smoothness. Increase this beyond 1 to produce smoother models.

mixture

A number between zero and one (inclusive) denoting the proportion of L1 regularization (i.e. lasso) in the model.

  • mixture = 1 specifies a pure lasso model,

  • mixture = 0 specifies a ridge regression model, and

  • 0 < mixture < 1 specifies an elastic net model, interpolating lasso and ridge.

Available for specific engines only.

dropout

A number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 denoting the proportion of model parameters randomly set to zero during model training.

activation

A single character string denoting the type of relationship between the original predictors and the hidden unit layer. The activation function between the hidden and output layers is automatically set to either "linear" or "softmax" depending on the type of outcome. Possible values depend on the engine being used.

smoothness

An non-negative number representing the the relative smoothness of the class boundary. Smaller examples result in model flexible boundaries and larger values generate class boundaries that are less adaptable

Laplace

A non-negative value for the Laplace correction to smoothing low-frequency counts.

weight_func

A single character for the type of kernel function used to weight distances between samples. Valid choices are: "rectangular", "triangular", "epanechnikov", "biweight", "triweight", "cos", "inv", "gaussian", "rank", or "optimal".

dist_power

A single number for the parameter used in calculating Minkowski distance.

predictor_prop

The maximum proportion of original predictors that can have non-zero coefficients for each PLS component (via regularization). This value is used for all PLS components for X.

num_comp

The number of PLS components to retain.

dist

A character string for the probability distribution of the outcome. The default is "weibull".

cost

A positive number for the cost of predicting a sample within or on the wrong side of the margin

margin

A positive number for the epsilon in the SVM insensitive loss function (regression only)

degree

A positive number for polynomial degree.

scale_factor

A positive number for the polynomial scaling factor.

rbf_sigma

A positive number for radial basis function.

Value

An updated model specification.
