1)我尝试了回归随机森林来训练带有4个独立变量的185行数据集。2个类别变量分别具有3个级别和13个级别。另外2个变量是数字连续变量。
我尝试用RF进行10倍交叉验证,重复4次。 (我没有缩放因变量,这就是RMSE这么大的原因。)
我想mtry大于4的原因是类别变量总共具有3 + 13 = 16个级别。但是如果是这样,为什么它不包含数字变量number?
185 samples
4 predictor
No pre-processing
Resampling: Cross-Validated (10 fold, repeated 4 times)
Summary of sample sizes: 168, 165, 166, 167, 166, 167, ...
Resampling results across tuning parameters:
mtry RMSE Rsquared MAE
2 16764183 0.7843863 9267902
9 9451598 0.8615202 3977457
16 9639984 0.8586409 3813891
RMSE was used to select the optimal model using the smallest value.
The final value used for the model was mtry = 9.
[请帮助我理解mtry。
2)而且,每折样本量为168,165,166,....,为什么样本量在变化?
sample sizes: 168, 165, 166, 167, 166, 167
非常感谢。
您是正确的,因为有16个变量可供采样,因此mtry的最大值为16。
插入符号选择的值基于两个参数,在训练中,tuneLength有一个选项,默认为3:
tuneLength = ifelse(trControl$method == "none", 1, 3)
这意味着它将测试三个值。对于randomForest,您具有mtry,默认值为:
getModelInfo("rf")[[1]]$grid
function(x, y, len = NULL, search = "grid"){
if(search == "grid") {
out <- data.frame(mtry = caret::var_seq(p = ncol(x),
classification = is.factor(y),
len = len))
} else {
out <- data.frame(mtry = unique(sample(1:ncol(x), size = len, replace = TRUE)))
}
out
}
由于您有16列,因此变为:
var_seq(16,len=3)
[1] 2 9 16
您可以通过设置来测试所选的mtry:
library(caret)
trCtrl = trainControl(method="repeatedcv",repeats=4,number=10)
# we test 2,4,6..16
trg = data.frame(mtry=seq(2,16,by=2))
# some random data for example
df = data.frame(y=rnorm(200),x1 = sample(letters[1:13],200,replace=TRUE),
x2=sample(LETTERS[1:3],200,replace=TRUE),x3=rpois(200,10),x4=runif(200))
#fit
mdl = train(y ~.,data=df,tuneGrid=trg,trControl =trCtrl)
