NULLCPO

NULLCPO is the neutral element of %>>%. It is returned by some functions when no other CPO or Retrafo is present.

Meta-CPO

cpoWrap

A simple CPO with one parameter which gets applied to the data as CPO. This is different from a multiplexer in that its parameter is free and can take any value that behaves like a CPO. On the downside, this does not expose the argument’s parameters to the outside.

cpoCase

A CPO that builds data-dependent CPO networks. This is a generalized CPO-Multiplexer that takes a function which decides (from the data, and from user-specified hyperparameters) what CPO operation to perform. Besides optional arguments, the used CPO’s Hyperparameters are exported as well. This is a generalization of cpoMultiplex; however, requires of the involved parameters are not adjusted, since this is impossible in principle.

s.and.p = cpoCase(pSS(logical.param: logical),
  export.cpos = list(cpoScale(), 
  cpoPca()),
  cpo.build = function(data, target, logical.param, scale, pca) {
  if (logical.param || mean(data[[1]]) > 10) {
    scale %>>% pca
  } else {
    pca %>>% scale
  }
  })
print(s.and.p, verbose = TRUE)
#> Trafo chain of 1 cpos:
#> case(scale.center = TRUE, scale.scale = TRUE, pca.center = TRUE, pca.scale = FALSE)
#> Operating: feature
#> ParamSet:
#>                  Type len   Def Constr Req Tunable Trafo
#> logical.param logical   -     -      -   -    TRUE     -
#> scale.center  logical   -  TRUE      -   -    TRUE     -
#> scale.scale   logical   -  TRUE      -   -    TRUE     -
#> pca.center    logical   -  TRUE      -   -    TRUE     -
#> pca.scale     logical   - FALSE      -   -    TRUE     -

The resulting CPO s.and.p performs scaling and PCA, with the order depending on the parameter logical.param and on whether the mean of the data’s first column exceeds 10. If either of those is true, the data will be first scaled, then PCA’d, otherwise the order is reversed. The all CPOs listed in .export are passed to the cpo.build.

cpoCbind

cbind other CPOs as operation. The cbinder makes it possible to build DAGs of CPOs that perform different operations on data and paste the results next to each other.

scale = cpoScale(id = "scale")
scale.pca = scale %>>% cpoPca()
cbinder = cpoCbind(scaled = scale, pcad = scale.pca, original = NULLCPO)
# cpoCbind recognises that "scale.scale" happens before "pca.pca" but is also fed to the
# result directly. The summary draws a (crude) ascii-art graph.

cpoTransformParams

cpoTransformParams wraps another CPO and sets some of its hyperparameters to the value of expressions depending on other hyperparameter values. This can be used to make a transformation of parameters similar to the trafo parameter of a Param in ParamHelpers, but it can also be used to set multiple parameters at the same time, depending on a single new parameter.

cpo = cpoTransformParams(cpoPca(), alist(pca.scale = pca.center))
retr = pid.task %>|% setHyperPars(cpo, pca.center = FALSE)

Data Manipulation

cpoScale

Implements the base::scale function.

df = data.frame(a = 1:3, b = -(1:3) * 10)
df %>>% cpoScale()
#>    a  b
#> 1 -1  1
#> 2  0  0
#> 3  1 -1
df %>>% cpoScale(scale = FALSE)  # center = TRUE
#>    a   b
#> 1 -1  10
#> 2  0   0
#> 3  1 -10

cpoPca

Implements stats::prcomp. No scaling or centering is performed.

df %>>% cpoPca()
#>         PC1           PC2
#> 1 -10.04988  4.163336e-16

Imputation

There are two general and many specialised imputation CPOs. The general imputation CPOs have parameters that let them use different imputation methods on different columns. They are a thin wrapper around mlr’s impute() and reimpute() functions. The specialised imputation CPOs each implement exactly one imputation method and are closer to the behaviour of typical CPOs.

General Imputation Wrappers

cpoImpute and cpoImputeAll both have parameters very much like impute(). The latter assumes that all columns of its input is somehow being imputed and can be preprended to a learner to give it the ability to work with missing data. It will, however, throw an error if data is missing after imputation.

impdata %>>% cpoImpute(cols = list(a = imputeMedian()))
#>     a   b
#> 1 2.5 -10
#> 2 2.0 -20
#> 3 3.0 -30
impdata %>>% cpoImpute(cols = list(b = imputeMedian()))  # NAs remain
#>    a   b
#> 1 NA -10
#> 2  2 -20
#> 3  3 -30
impdata %>>% cpoImputeAll(cols = list(b = imputeMedian()))  # error, since NAs remain
#> Error in assertPropertiesOk(present.properties, setdiff(allowed.properties, : Data returned by CPO trafo has property missings that impute declared in .properties.adding.
#> properties in .properties.adding may not be present in trafo output.
missing.task = makeRegrTask("missing.task", impdata, target = "b")
# the following gives an error, since 'cpoImpute' does not make sure all missings are removed
# and hence does not add the 'missings' property.
train(cpoImpute(cols = list(a = imputeMedian())) %>>% makeLearner("regr.lm"), missing.task)
#> Error in checkLearnerBeforeTrain(task, learner, weights): Task 'missing.task' has missing values in 'a', but learner 'regr.lm.impute' does not support that!
# instead, the following works:
train(cpoImputeAll(cols = list(a = imputeMedian())) %>>% makeLearner("regr.lm"), missing.task)
#> Model for learner.id=regr.lm.impute; learner.class=CPOLearner
#> Trained on: task.id = missing.task; obs = 3; features = 1
#> Hyperparameters: impute.target.cols=character(0),impute.classes=list(),impute.cols=a=<ImputeMethod>,impute.dummy.classes=character(0),impute.dummy.cols=character(0),impute.dummy.type=factor,impute.force.dummies=FALSE,impute.impute.new.levels=TRUE,impute.recode.factor.levels=TRUE

Specialised Imputation Wrappers

There is one for each imputation method.

impdata %>>% cpoImputeConstant(10)
#>    a   b
#> 1 10 -10
#> 2  2 -20
#> 3  3 -30
getTaskData(missing.task %>>% cpoImputeMedian())
#>     a   b
#> 1 2.5 -10
#> 2 2.0 -20
#> 3 3.0 -30
# The specialised impute CPOs are:
listCPO()[listCPO()$category == "imputation" & listCPO()$subcategory == "specialised",
          c("name", "description")]
#>                 name
#> 41 cpoImputeConstant
#> 49     cpoImputeHist
#> 50  cpoImputeLearner
#> 46      cpoImputeMax
#> 43     cpoImputeMean
#> 42   cpoImputeMedian
#> ... (#rows: 10, #cols: 1)

Feature Filtering

There is one general and many specialised feature filtering CPOs. The general filtering CPO, cpoFilterFeatures, is a thin wrapper around filterFeatures and takes the filtering method as its argument. The specialised CPOs each call a specific filtering method.

Most arguments of filterFeatures are reflected in the CPOs. The exceptions being: 1. for filterFeatures, the filter method arguments are given in a list filter.args, instead of in ... 2. The argument fval was dropped for the specialised filter CPOs. 3. The argument mandatory.feat was dropped. Use affect.* parameters to prevent features from being filtered.
