sparkxgb

R-CMD-check Spark Tests Codecov test coverage CRAN status

Overview

sparkxgb is a sparklyr extension that provides an interface to XGBoost on Spark.

Installation

install.packages("sparkxgb")

Development version

You can install the development version of sparkxgb with:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("rstudio/sparkxgb")

Example

sparkxgb supports the familiar formula interface for specifying models:

library(sparkxgb)
library(sparklyr)
library(dplyr)

sc <- spark_connect(master = "local")
iris_tbl <- sdf_copy_to(sc, iris)

xgb_model <- xgboost_classifier(
  iris_tbl,
  Species ~ .,
  num_class = 3,
  num_round = 50,
  max_depth = 4
)

xgb_model %>%
  ml_predict(iris_tbl) %>%
  select(Species, predicted_label, starts_with("probability_")) %>%
  glimpse()
#> Rows: ??
#> Columns: 5
#> Database: spark_connection
#> $ Species                <chr> "setosa", "setosa", "setosa", "setosa", "setosa…
#> $ predicted_label        <chr> "setosa", "setosa", "setosa", "setosa", "setosa…
#> $ probability_setosa     <dbl> 0.9971547, 0.9948581, 0.9968392, 0.9968392, 0.9…
#> $ probability_versicolor <dbl> 0.002097376, 0.003301427, 0.002284616, 0.002284…
#> $ probability_virginica  <dbl> 0.0007479066, 0.0018403779, 0.0008762418, 0.000…

It also provides a Pipelines API, which means you can use a xgboost_classifier or xgboost_regressor in a pipeline as any Estimator, and do things like hyperparameter tuning:

pipeline <- ml_pipeline(sc) %>%
  ft_r_formula(Species ~ .) %>%
  xgboost_classifier(num_class = 3)

param_grid <- list(
  xgboost = list(
    max_depth = c(1, 5),
    num_round = c(10, 50)
  )
)

cv <- ml_cross_validator(
  sc,
  estimator = pipeline,
  evaluator = ml_multiclass_classification_evaluator(
    sc,
    label_col = "label",
    raw_prediction_col = "rawPrediction"
  ),
  estimator_param_maps = param_grid
)

cv_model <- cv %>%
  ml_fit(iris_tbl)

summary(cv_model)
