Classification Tree Learner

A LearnerClassif for a classification tree implemented in rpart::rpart() in package rpart.

Initial parameter values

• Parameter xval is initialized to 0 in order to save some computation time.

Custom mlr3 parameters

• Parameter model has been renamed to keep_model.

Dictionary

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

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

Meta Information
