GLM with Elastic Net Regularization Classification Learner

Generalized linear models with elastic net regularization. Calls glmnet::cv.glmnet() from package glmnet.

The default for hyperparameter family is set to "binomial" or "multinomial", depending on the number of classes.

Dictionary

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

mlr_learners$get("classif.cv_glmnet")
lrn("classif.cv_glmnet")

Meta Information

• Task type: “classif”

• Predict Types: “response”, “prob”

Internal Encoding

Starting with mlr3 v0.5.0, the order of class labels is reversed prior to model fitting to comply to the stats::glm() convention that the negative class is provided as the first factor level.
