Preprocessing

Import and Prepare Data

data("DNA")
dataset <- DNA |>
  data.table::as.data.table() |>
  na.omit()

feature_cols <- colnames(dataset)[1:180]
target_col <- "Class"

General Configurations

seed <- 123

  # on cran
  ncores <- 2L
} else {
  ncores <- ifelse(
    test = parallel::detectCores() > 4,

Generate Training- and Test Data

  y = dataset[, get(target_col)],

test_x <- model.matrix(
  ~ -1 + .,
  dataset[data_split$test, .SD, .SDcols = feature_cols]
)
test_y <- dataset[data_split$test, get(target_col)]

Generate Training Data Folds

fold_list <- splitTools::create_folds(
