Density Task

This task specializes TaskUnsupervised for density estimation problems. The data in backend should be a numeric vector or a one column matrix-like object. The task_type is set to "density".

Predefined tasks are stored in the dictionary mlr_tasks.

Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

TaskDens$new(id, backend, label = NA_character_)

Arguments

id

(character(1))
Identifier for the new instance.

backend

(DataBackend)
Either a DataBackend, a matrix-like object, or a numeric vector. If weights are used then two columns expected, otherwise one column. The weight column must be clearly specified (via [Task]$col_roles) or the learners will break.

label

(character(1))
Label for the new instance.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

TaskDens$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Examples

task = TaskDens$new("precip", backend = precip)
task$task_type
#> [1] "dens"
