Residual Analysis

Do Residual Analysis and plot the fitted values vs residuals on a test dataset. Ideally, residuals should be randomly distributed. Patterns in this plot can indicate potential problems with the model selection, e.g., using simpler model than necessary, not accounting for heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation, etc. If you notice "striped" lines of residuals, that is just an indication that your response variable was integer valued instead of real valued.

h2o.residual_analysis_plot(model, newdata)

Arguments

model	An H2OModel.
newdata	An H2OFrame. Used to calculate residuals.

Value

A ggplot2 object

Examples

if (FALSE) {
library(h2o)
h2o.init()

# Import the wine dataset into H2O:
f <- "https://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/wine/winequality-redwhite-no-BOM.csv"
df <-  h2o.importFile(f)

# Set the response
response <- "quality"

# Split the dataset into a train and test set:
splits <- h2o.splitFrame(df, ratios = 0.8, seed = 1)
train <- splits[[1]]
test <- splits[[2]]

# Build and train the model:
gbm <- h2o.gbm(y = response,
               training_frame = train)

# Create the residual analysis plot
residual_analysis_plot <- h2o.residual_analysis_plot(gbm, test)
print(residual_analysis_plot)
}
