exclude_algos

• Available in: AutoML
• Hyperparameter: no

Description

This option allows you to specify a list of algorithms that should not be included in an AutoML run during the model-building phase. This option defaults to None/Null, which means that all algorithms are included. However, if the include_algos option is used, then the AutoML run will include only those specified algorithms. Note that these two options cannot both be specified.

The algorithms that can be specified include:

• DRF (including both the Random Forest and Extremely Randomized Trees (XRT) models)
• GLM
• XGBoost (XGBoost GBM)
• GBM (H2O GBM)
• DeepLearning (Fully-connected multi-layer artificial neural network)
• StackedEnsemble

Related Parameters

• include-algos

Example

• r
