calibration_frame

  • Available in: GBM, DRF
  • Hyperparameter: no

Description

The calibration_frame option specifies the calibration frame that will be used for Platt scaling. This option is required if calibrate_model is enabled.

Platt scaling transforms the output of a classification model into a probability distribution over classes. It works by fitting a logistic regression model to a classifier’s scores. Platt scaling will generally not affect the ranking of observations. Logloss, however, will generally improve with Platt scaling.

Refer to the following for more information about Platt scaling:
