This vignette demonstrates how to use data-masking to dynamically
specify learner_args, scorer_args,
prediction_args, and splitter_args so that
each is evaluated on the appropriate subset of data. The modeltuning
package provides two special verbs for use inside these argument lists:
.data and .index.
.data: Accesses the data available at the time the
model is fit. For example, if the training data includes a column
w of observation-level weights and you’re performing
cross-validation, using .data$w within
learner_args ensures that the correct subset of weights is
used for each fold.
.index: Accesses the indices of the current subset
of data. In the same example, using .data$w[.index] inside
learner_args also guarantees that only the relevant subset
of weights is used for each fold.
The following sections provide worked examples illustrating the use
of .data and .index in the CV, GridSearch, and
GridSearchCV classes.
Below we show how to supply observation-level weights in
cross-validation using both .data and .index.
We’ll use the mtcars dataset and create a new column
w of random weights.

mtcars$w <- abs(rnorm(nrow(mtcars)))
splitter <- function(data, ...) lapply(vfold_cv(data, ...)$splits, \(.x) .x$in_id)First, we show how to use .data to supply the weights
via learner_args. We can also supply the weights for the
out-of-sample predictions via prediction_args and
scorer_args. Finally, note that we can also supply dynamic
arguments to the splitter function via
splitter_args. Here we demonstrate by stratifying the folds
by cyl.
mtcars_cv <- CV$new(
learner = glm,
learner_args = list(weights = .data$w, family = gaussian),
splitter = splitter,
splitter_args = list(v = 2, strata = .data$cyl),
scorer = list("rmse" = yardstick::rmse_vec),
scorer_args = list("rmse" = list(case_weights = .data$w)),
prediction_args = list("rmse" = list(weights = .data$w))
)
mtcars_cv_fitted <- mtcars_cv$fit(formula = mpg ~ . - w, data = mtcars)

glm directly with the full dataset and weights.
Next, we demonstrate that we can achieve the same result using
.index instead of .data. Instead of accessing
the underlying data with .data, we instead subset the raw
weights vector with the indices of the current subset using
.index.
mtcars_cv <- CV$new(
learner = glm,
learner_args = list(weights = mtcars$w[.index], family = gaussian),
splitter = splitter,
splitter_args = list(v = 2, strata = cyl),
scorer = list("rmse" = yardstick::rmse_vec),
scorer_args = list("rmse" = list(case_weights = mtcars$w[.index])),
prediction_args = list("rmse" = list(weights = mtcars$w[.index]))
)

# 0.593572056 -0.535088086 2.518021887 -0.443316046 -0.906259318We again demonstrate that the fully fitted model is identical to
using glm directly with the full dataset and weights.
While this is less essential for grid search, since the training and
evaluation datasets are fixed, we can still use the .data
verb to dynamically access attributes of the in-sample and evalutaion
datasets. However, since there is no sub-sampling, the
.index verb is not defined and will result in an error. We
demonstrate both below.

)
mtcars_gs_fitted <- mtcars_gs$fit(formula = mpg ~ . - w, data = mtcars_train)
# Error: object '.index' not foundAs discussed above, since the training and evaluation datasets are fixed, we can also just supply the raw weight vectors directly.

which performs grid search with cross-validation for error estimation.
Here, as with CV, both .data and
.index can be used to dynamically access the correct
subsets of data.
