build_tree_one_node

  • Available in: GBM, DRF, Isolation Forest, XGBoost, Uplift DRF

  • Hyperparameter: no

Description

Enable this option to specify that the algorithm will run on a single node. This option is suitable for small datasets as there is no network overhead, but fewer CPUs are used.

Example

R

Python

library(h2o)
h2o.init()

# import the cars dataset:
# this dataset is used to classify whether or not a car is economical based on
# the car's displacement, power, weight, and acceleration, and the year it was made
cars <- h2o.importFile("https://s3.amazonaws.com/h2o-public-test-data/smalldata/junit/cars_20mpg.csv")

# convert response column to a factor
cars["economy_20mpg"] <- as.factor(cars["economy_20mpg"])

# set the predictor names and the response column name
predictors <- c("displacement", "power", "weight", "acceleration", "year")
response <- "economy_20mpg"

# split into train and validation sets
cars_split <- h2o.splitFrame(data = cars, ratios = 0.8, seed = 1234)
