dear members,
I am using caret and caretEnsemble packages for my
research involving machine learning.
This link https://topepo.github.io/caret/train-models-by-tag.html#boosting
indicates the various boosting algorithms available in the caret package.
However, I know that boosting algorithms need to have base learners specified. I
have no issues with adaboost.m1 algorithm which takes as a base learner Decision
Trees. But what about the other algorithms? How do you specify the base learners
for the algorithms? The page in the link speaks loosely of "Ensembles"
relating to the boosting algorithms, but it doesn't specify how to pass them
as arguments for the boosting algorithms in caret. What's going on? For
example, I need a boosting algorithm with SVM. How do you effect it with caret
or caretEnsemble?
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
