Forecast Holdout Resampling

Splits data into a training set and a test set. Parameter ratio determines the ratio of observation going into the training set (default: 2/3).

Dictionary

This Resampling can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_resamplings or with the associated sugar function rsmp():

mlr_resamplings$get("forecast_cv")
rsmp("forecast_cv")

Parameters

• ratio (numeric(1))
  Ratio of observations to put into the training set. Mutually exclusive with parameter n.

• n (integer(1))
  Number of observations to put into the training set. If negative, the absolute value determines the number of observations in the test set. Mutually exclusive with parameter ratio.

Examples

# Create a task with 10 observations
task = tsk("airpassengers")
task$filter(1:10)

# Instantiate Resampling
holdout = rsmp("forecast_holdout", ratio = 0.5)
holdout$instantiate(task)

# Individual sets:
holdout$train_set(1)
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5
holdout$test_set(1)
#> [1]  6  7  8  9 10

# Disjunct sets:
intersect(holdout$train_set(1), holdout$test_set(1))
#> integer(0)

# Internal storage:
holdout$instance # simple list
#> $train
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5
