Validator#

Validators take an instance of a Learner, a Labeled dataset object, and a validation Metric and return a validation score that measures the generalization performance of the model using one of various cross validation techniques.

Note: There is no need to train the learner beforehand. The validator will automatically train the learner on subsets of the dataset created by the testing algorithm.

Test a Learner#

To train and test a Learner on a dataset and return the validation score:

public test(Learner $estimator, Labeled $dataset, Metric $metric) : float

Example

use Rubix\ML\CrossValidation\KFold;
use Rubix\ML\CrossValidation\Metrics\Accuracy;

$validator = new KFold(10);

$score = $validator->test($estimator, $dataset, new Accuracy());

var_dump($score);

float(0.869)
