Release Version 2.12 · mlr-org/mlr

general

Support for functional data (fda) using matrix columns has been added.
Relaxed the way wrappers can be nested -- the only explicitly forbidden
combination is to wrap a tuning wrapper around another optimization wrapper
Refactored the resample progress messages to give a better overview and
distinguish between train and test measures better
calculateROCMeasures now returns absolute instead of relative values
Added support for spatial data by providing spatial partitioning methods "SpCV" and "SpRepCV".
Added new spatial.task classification task.
Added new spam.task classification task.
Classification tasks now store the class distribution in the
class.distribution member.
mlr now predicts NA for data that contains NA and learners that do not support
missing values.
Tasks are now subsetted in the "train" function and the factor levels (for
classification tasks) based on this subset. This means that the factor level
distribution is not necessarily the same as for the entire task, and that the
task descriptions of models in resampling reflect the respective subset, while
the task description of resample predictions reflect the entire task and not
necessarily the task of any individual model.
Added support for growing and fixed window cross-validation for forecasting
through new resample methods "GrowingWindowCV" and "FixedWindowCV".

generatePartialDependenceData: depends now on the "mmpf" package,
removed parameter: "center", "resample", "fmin", "fmax" and "gridsize"
added parameter: "uniform" and "n" to configure the grid for the partial dependence plot
batchmark: allow resample instances and reduction of partial results
resample, performance: new flag "na.rm" to remove NAs during aggregation
plotTuneMultiCritResultGGVIS: new parameters "point.info" and "point.trafo" to
control interactivity
calculateConfusionMatrix: new parameter "set" to specify whether confusion
matrix should be computed for "train", "test", or "both" (default)
PlotBMRSummary: Add parameter "shape"
plotROCCurves: Add faceting argument
PreprocWrapperCaret: Add param "ppc.corr", "ppc.zv", "ppc.nzv", "ppc.n.comp", "ppc.cutoff", "ppc.freqCut", "ppc.uniqueCut"

measure "arsq" now has ID "arsq"
measure "measureMultiLabelF1" was renamed to "measureMultilabelF1" for consistency

unified {classif,regr,surv}.penalized{ridge,lasso,fusedlasso} into {classif,regr,surv}.penalized
fixed a bug where surv.cforest gave wrong risk predictions (#1833)
fixed bug where classif.xgboost returned NA predictions with multi:softmax
classif.lda learner: add 'prior' hyperparameter
ranger: update hyperpar 'respect.unordered.factors', add 'extratrees' and 'num.random.splits'
h20deeplearning: Rename hyperpar 'MeanSquare' to 'Quadratic'
h20*: Add support for "missings"
