Quadratic Discriminant Analysis Classification Learner

Quadratic discriminant analysis. Calls MASS::qda() from package MASS.

Details

Parameters method and prior exist for training and prediction but accept different values for each. Therefore, arguments for the predict stage have been renamed to predict.method and predict.prior, respectively.

Dictionary

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

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

Meta Information
