Smoothing Splines Density Estimator

Calls gss::ssden() and the result is coerced to a distr6::Distribution.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

LearnerDensSpline$new()
mlr_learners$get("dens.spline")
lrn("dens.spline")

Meta Information
