Description:	A supervised learning algorithm inputs a train set, and outputs a prediction function, which can be used on a test set. If each data point belongs to a subset (such as geographic region, year, etc), then how do we know if subsets are similar enough so that we can get accurate predictions on one subset, after training on Other subsets? And how do we know if training on All subsets would improve prediction accuracy, relative to training on the Same subset? SOAK, Same/Other/All K-fold cross-validation, <doi:10.1002/sam.70055> can be used to answer these questions, by fixing a test subset, training models on Same/Other/All subsets, and then comparing test error rates (Same versus Other and Same versus All). Also provides code for estimating how many train samples are required to get accurate predictions on a test set.

Learner classes with special methods

Description

AutoTunerTorch_epochs inherits from mlr3tuning::AutoTuner, with an initialize method that takes arguments to construct a torch module learner. It runs gradient descent up to max_epochs and then re-runs using the best number of epochs. Its edit_learner method sets number of epochs to 2 (for quick learning during proj_test), and its save_learner method returns a history data table (one row per epoch). LearnerRegrCVGlmnetSave inherits from LearnerRegrCVGlmnet; its save_learner method returns a data table of regularized linear model weights (no edit_learner method). LearnerClassifCVGlmnetSave is similar.

Resampling for comparing train subsets and sizes

Description

ResamplingSameOtherSizesCV defines how a task is partitioned for resampling, for example in resample() or benchmark().

Resampling objects can be instantiated on a Task, which can use two new roles: subset and fold.

After instantiation, sets can be accessed via ⁠$train_set(i)⁠ and ⁠$test_set(i)⁠, respectively.

Details

This is an implementation of SOAK, Same/Other/All K-fold cross-validation. A supervised learning algorithm inputs a train set, and outputs a prediction function, which can be used on a test set. If each data point belongs to a subset (such as geographic region, year, etc), then how do we know if it is possible to train on one subset, and predict accurately on another subset? Cross-validation can be used to determine the extent to which this is possible, by first assigning fold IDs from 1 to K to all data (possibly using stratification, usually by subset and label). Then we loop over test sets (subset/fold combinations), train sets (same subset, other subsets, all subsets), and compute test/prediction accuracy for each combination. Comparing test/prediction accuracy between same and other, we can determine the extent to which it is possible (perfect if same/other have similar test accuracy for each subset; other is usually somewhat less accurate than same; other can be just as bad as featureless baseline when the subsets have different patterns).

Stratification

ResamplingSameOtherSizesCV supports stratified sampling. The stratification variables are assumed to be discrete, and must be stored in the Task with column role stratum. If that role is not set, then all data are assigned to one stratum. In case of multiple stratification variables, each combination of the values of the stratification variables forms a stratum. When fold role is set, stratum role is not used for fold assignment (folds are taken from fold role in that case). When sizes param is at least 0, then downsampled train sets are created, and if stratum role is set, we attempt to preserve strata proportions in downsampled train sets.

Grouping

ResamplingSameOtherSizesCV supports grouping of observations that will not be split in cross-validation. The grouping variable is assumed to be discrete, and must be stored in the Task with column role group. If that role is not set, then each row is assigned to a different group. When fold role is set, group role is not used for fold assignment (folds are taken from fold role in that case). When sizes param is at least 0, then downsampled train sets are created, and if group role is set, we keep groups together in downsampled train sets.

Subsets

ResamplingSameOtherSizesCV supports fixing a test subset, then training on same/other/all subsets. The subset variable is assumed to be discrete, and must be stored in the Task with column role subset.

Parameters

The number of cross-validation folds K should be defined as the fold parameter, default 3.

The number of random seeds for downsampling should be defined as the seeds parameter, default 1.

The number of downsampling train set sizes should be defined as the sizes parameter, which can also take two special values: default -1 means no downsampling at all, and 0 means only downsampling to the min of same/other sets (in units of groups).

The ratio for downsampling should be defined as the ratio parameter, default 0.5. The min size of same and other sets is repeatedly multiplied by this ratio, to obtain smaller sizes (in units of groups).

The ignore_subset parameter should be either TRUE or FALSE (default), whether to ignore the subset role. TRUE only creates splits for same subset (even if task defines subset role), and is useful for subtrain/validation splits (hyper-parameter learning).

The subsets parameter should specify the train subsets of interest: "S" (same), "O" (other), "A" (all), "SO", "SA", "SOA" (default).

If fold column role is set, then that column will be used for non-random fold assignment (see Reproducibility vignette). Otherwise, the group_stratum_algo parameter controls the algorithm used for random fold assignment. We want to assign folds such that groups are not split (hard constraint), and strata proportions are preserved (objective to optimize). To see exemples of how this works, read the vignette, Using subset with group and stratum. Note that this feature works on tasks with both stratum and group roles (unlike ResamplingCV). Computing an optimal fold assignment is NP-hard (discrete, need to try all possible assignments of groups to folds to find best solution). Instead of computing the optimal solution (slow), we implement heuristic algorithms (fast), which yield approximate solutions. The choice of which heuristic is controlled by the group_stratum_algo parameter, which can take these values:

"RSS"

Default, novel heuristic algorithm which attempts to minimize the residual sum of squares, between actual and ideal values of the strata/fold count matrix. First groups are sorted by RSS (group counts - ideal counts per stratum); ties are broken using number of samples in group, mean(ideal*actual) counts (mean over strata), random group order. Then each group is greedily assigned a fold in order; best fold results in min RSS, ties broken using total counts above ideal. For N data, K folds, G groups, and S strata, the algorithm is O(N + K G S) time and O(N + S K) memory.

"Wasikowski"

Same heuristic algorithm as in scikit-learn StratifiedGroupKFold, adapted from https://www.kaggle.com/code/jakubwasikowski/stratified-group-k-fold-cross-validation. First groups are sorted by standard deviation over strata counts; ties are broken by random group order. Then each group is greedily assigned a fold in order; best fold results in the smallest mean SD of the strata/fold count matrix (SD over folds is computed for each stratum, then mean of SDs, minimized over folds), ties broken using number of samples in fold. For N data, K folds, G groups, and S strata, the algorithm is O(N + K^2 G S) time and O(N + S K + S G) memory (could be problematic when G and S are both large).

"WasikowskiLimitedMemory"

Same logic and time complexity but only O(N + S K) memory.

The train/test splits are defined by all possible combinations of test subset, test fold, train subsets (same/other/all), downsampling sizes, and random seeds. After $instantiate() is called, $instance is a list of data about the splits, with elements:

iteration.dt

data table with one row per split.

fold.dt

data table with same number of rows as task data.

Compute resampling results in a project

Description

Runs train() and predict(), then a data table with one row is saved to an RDS file in the grid_jobs directory.

Usage

proj_compute(grid_job_i, proj_dir, verbose=FALSE, process_fun=Sys.getpid)

Arguments

Details

If everything goes well, the user should not need to run this function. Instead, the user runs proj_submit as Step 2 out of the typical 3 step pipeline (init grid, submit, read results). proj_compute can sometimes be useful for testing or debugging the submit step, since it runs one split at a time.

Value

proj_compute returns a data table with one row of results.

Initialize a new project grid table

Description

A project grid consists of all combinations of tasks, learners, resampling types, and resampling iterations, to be computed in parallel. This function creates a project directory with files to describe the grid.

Usage

proj_grid(
  proj_dir, tasks, learners, resamplings,
  order_jobs = NULL, score_args = NULL,
  save_learner = save_learner_default, save_pred = FALSE,
  train_seed = 1L, resampling_seed = 1L)

Arguments

Details

This is Step 1 out of the typical 3 step pipeline (init grid, submit, read results). It creates a grid_jobs.csv table which has a column status; each row is initialized to "not started" or "done", depending on whether the corresponding result RDS file exists already.

Value

Data table of splits to be processed (same as table saved to grid_jobs.rds).

Combine and save results in a project

Description

proj_results globs the RDS result files in the project directory, and combines them into a result table via rbindlist(). proj_results_save saves that result table to results.rds and one or more CSV files (redundant with RDS data, but more convenient). proj_fread reads the CSV files, adding columns from proj_grid.csv to learners*.csv.

Usage

proj_results(proj_dir, verbose=FALSE)
proj_results_save(proj_dir, verbose=FALSE)
proj_fread(proj_dir)

Arguments

Details

This is Step 3 out of the typical 3 step pipeline (init grid, submit, read results). Actually, if step 2 worked as intended, then proj_results_save is called at the end of step 2, which saves result files to disk that you can read directly:

results.csv

contains test measures for each split.

results.rds

contains additional list columns for learner and pred (useful for model interpretation), and can be read via readRDS()

learners.csv

only exists if learner column is a data frame, in which case it contains the atomic columns, along with meta-data describing each split.

learners_*.csv

only exists if learner column is a named list of data frames: star in file name is expanded using list names, with CSV data taken from atomic columns.

Value

proj_results returns a data table with all columns, whereas proj_results_save returns the same table with only atomic columns. proj_fread returns a list with names corresponding to CSV files in the test directory, and values are the data tables that result from fread.

Compute several resampling jobs

Description

proj_todo determines which jobs remain to be computed. proj_compute_all computes all remaining jobs using future_lapply if available, otherwise lapply. proj_compute_mpi computes all remaining jobs in parallel using MPI (should be run in an R session activated by mpirun or srun). proj_submit is a non-blocking call to SLURM sbatch, asking for a single job with several tasks that run proj_compute_mpi.

Usage

proj_todo(proj_dir)
proj_compute_mpi(proj_dir, verbose=FALSE)
proj_compute_all(proj_dir, verbose=FALSE, LAPPLY)
proj_submit(
  proj_dir, tasks = 2, hours = 1, gigabytes = 1,
  verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

Details

This is Step 2 out of the typical 3 step pipeline (init grid, submit, read results).

Value

proj_submit returns the ID of the submitted SLURM job. proj_compute_all and proj_compute_mpi return a data table of results computed. proj_todo returns a vector of job IDs not yet computed.

Test a project with smaller data and fewer resampling iterations

Description

Like testJob, "test" means trying an example with a few small jobs (default one train/test split per algorithm and data set) before running the big calculation with all jobs. Runs proj_grid to create a new project in the test sub-directory, with a smaller number of samples in each task, and with only one iteration per Resampling. Runs proj_compute_all on this new test project, and then reads any CSV result files.

Usage

proj_test(
  proj_dir, min_samples_per_stratum = 10,
  edit_learner=edit_learner_default, max_jobs=Inf,
  verbose=FALSE, LAPPLY=NULL)

Arguments

Value

Same value as proj_fread on test project (list of data tables).

P-values for comparing Same/Other/All training

Description

Same/Other/All K-fold cross-validation (SOAK) results in K measures of test error/accuracy. This function computes P-values (two-sided T-test) between Same and All/Other.

Usage

pvalue(score_in, value.var = NULL, digits=3)

Arguments

Value

List of class "pvalue" with named elements value.var, stats, pvalues.

P-values for full versus down-sampled SOAK results

Description

For one test.subset, compute summary statistics and paired two-sided t-test P-values that compare same versus all/other, for two train-size panels: full (n.train.groups == groups) and down-sampled (n.train.groups == min(groups)).

Usage

pvalue_downsample(
  score_in,
  value.var = NULL,
  digits = 3
)

Arguments

Value

List of class "pvalue_downsample" with named elements subset_name, model_name, value.var, stats, and pvalues. subset_name and model_name are inferred from score_in.
