Multiclass support for caretList and caretStack #260

antongomez · 2024-06-10T16:42:38Z

The following changes were made:

predict.caretList now returns a matrix of probabilities for classification problems.
Internally, makePredObsMatrix uses probabilities for all but one class.
predict.caretStack now returns a matrix of probabilities.
Functions setMulticlassExcludedLevel and getMulticlassExcludedLevel can be used to determine which class to exclude. If a class outside the range 1,...,num_classes is provided, makePredObsMatrix and predict.caretStack will use probabilities for ALL classes and a warning will be displayed, as this may cause collinearity issues.
All tests have passed, and specific tests for multiclass functionality were added.

caretEnsemble still works only for binary classification problems. This is due to the method used, glm, which only works with binary class problems. Instead of this method, caretStack can be used with other methods, such as multinom, as suggested here.

Awesome! Thank you for the PR. I will review.

zachmayer · 2024-06-11T15:02:57Z

Sorry for the delay. I plan to review this week!

I have a couple small comments, but it generally looks good.

Did you use an automatic linter to add all the code style stuff (e.g. spaces around "=")? In the future it's a good practice to make a PR that applies your delinting first, and then follow up with a second PR that makes your code changes.

I appreciate the delinting! It's just a good practice to separate style changes from code changes.

Thank you again! And please see PR comments for specifics changes requested.

  expect_identical(pred.classa, pred.classb)
-  expect_less_than(abs(0.9749462 - pred.classc), 0.01)
+  expect_equal(pred.classc[, 1], 0.9489, tol = 0.0001)


This test fails on my machine (mac, apple silicon, R 4.3.2, caret caret_6.0-94). Can you loosen the tolerance a bit, perhaps to 0.001?

Suggested change

expect_equal(pred.classc[, 1], 0.9489, tol = 0.0001)

expect_equal(pred.classc[, 1], 0.9489, tol = 0.001)

I will keep the previously established tolerance (0.01).

+  overall <- norm_to_100(apply(dat, 1, weighted.mean, w = weights))


out of curiosity, why'd you make this one line?

Just because it was easier for me to understand this part of the code. Perhaps it was more convenient to leave the line as it was at the beginning. But I just realized that there is an error in the line if (grepl("_", name)) sub("_[^_]*$", "", name) else name. If the class name contains an '_', it produces an unexpected result.

-  )
-  lintr::expect_lint_free(linters=my_linters)
-})
+# context("Code is high quality and lint free")


Why'd you comment this out? I'd like to keep this test please.

At first, the test was not working. Then I made some changes, and it started working. However, the tests were failing because the code is not lint-free (for example, commas_linter is giving a lot of warnings). If you prefer, I can fix this in another pull request.

can you comment out just the linters that fail, e.g. commas_linter?

And then make an issue for each commented out linter in https://github.com/zachmayer/caretEnsemble/issues and at some point in the future we can fix them.

Yes, I use an automatic linter. Initially, I tried not to use it in this project, but eventually I did and didn't realize it. Next time, I will separate it into two different PRs!

Regarding the linter test, I will remove the comments and address the warnings in another PR.

zachmayer · 2024-06-21T16:48:21Z

Awesome, thank you for the updates! I think we're almost there!

we can sort out the lint in a different PR. I actually appreciate the de-linting. I should use the same automatic tool: what do you use to lint your code as you write it?

zachmayer · 2024-06-24T15:00:18Z

@antongomez remind me where we're at here. Did you respond to all my feedback? If so I'll do one last review and merge.

(we can deal with linting in another PR once this is in)

zachmayer · 2024-06-26T17:07:34Z

Crap. I delete the branch by accident. Let me see how I can restore it

zachmayer · 2024-06-26T17:10:12Z

Ok I think I did it. Sorry. Please let me know if you need anything else before we merge this!

zachmayer · 2024-06-26T17:17:47Z

Ok, we have a lot of merge conflicts. I'll work on this.

antongomez · 2024-07-05T09:11:58Z

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I'm going to add a test to add a unit test to expect an error from caret when model names in caretList contains character |. Also, I've prepared the lint PR, so when we finish with this one, I will make it.

Regarding to the automatic tool that I'm using to format automatically the code, I'm using vscode and I added the extension for R.

zachmayer · 2024-07-05T11:43:04Z

No worries! A lot of people were off this week. I’ve already delinted the repo and added 100% test coverage (see my most recent PRs). I need to rebase my multiclass PR— then could you rebase your PR? Sorry this got complicated, but I think it’s close to done!

zachmayer · 2024-07-05T14:54:05Z

Here is the delint PR: #273
Here is the 100% test coverage PR: #275

@antongomez I think what I'll do is merge your PR into #271, which I will then need to rebase and have you review.

antongomez · 2024-07-08T10:22:04Z

Okay, I saw your delint PR and the test coverage PR. But what exactly do you need from me now? @zachmayer I'm a little bit lost.

zachmayer · 2024-07-08T11:27:29Z

I’ll take it from here

zachmayer · 2024-07-09T20:28:59Z

PR here to merge to main: #280

zachmayer · 2024-07-09T20:29:47Z

Basically, the problem was that this branch was off the 8-year old multiclass branch, and was therefore missing all the changes I've made since then. I have now rebased and merged my original multiclass branch, and will work on getting your commits in too.
