跳过使用插入符号拟合最终模型

Question

有时当我用插入符拟合模型时，我真的只是想看看它如何使用我选择的重采样方法（例如交叉验证）执行。

当我对建立在完整训练数据上的"final model"不感兴趣时，我想避免拟合它。这真的只是在开发过程中多次节省宝贵的时间。

有没有办法在使用插入符时跳过拟合最终模型？我没有在 caret::trainControl 或 caret::train.

中看到任何相关参数

Answer 1

似乎确实没有直接实现这一点的论点。不过，有几个候选解决方案。

selectionFunction 作为 trainControl 的参数根据候选模型的性能（没有参数调整时只有一个候选）选择最终模型准确性、RMSE 等。将 selectionFunction 设置为 function(x, ...) NA 或 function(x, ...) NULL 之类的设置失败。但是，function(x, ...) -1 之类的东西确实部分起作用：没有警告或错误返回，并且最终模型尝试适合。最终结果似乎与模型有关。
另一个 trainControl 感兴趣的参数是 indexFinal:

an optional vector of integers indicating which samples are used to fit the final model after resampling. If NULL, then entire data set is used.

将其设置为 NA 似乎对大多数模型都失败，除了 kNN。将其设置为 1:10 适合最终模型，如果参数很少 ，仅使用这十个观察值。因此，将其设置为 1:100 之类的设置在很多情况下都应该有效并且花费的时间很少。

您当然可以更改 train 函数本身。下面我只加了一个参数fitFinal，默认是TRUE，在拟合最终模型的时候检查是不是TRUE。如果fitFinal == FALSE，那么

finalModel <- list(fit = NULL, preProc = NULL)
finalTime <- 0

其他一切似乎运行顺利。至于覆盖实际的 train.default 函数，你应该在之后运行

environment(myTrain) <- environment(caret:::train.default)
assignInNamespace("train.default", myTrain, ns = "caret")

所以，我们有

myTrain <- function (x, y, method = "rf", preProcess = NULL, ..., weights = NULL, fitFinal = TRUE,
                     metric = ifelse(is.factor(y), "Accuracy", "RMSE"), maximize = ifelse(metric %in%
