Documentation of listing data.frames

[HeidiSeibold]

E.g. for listOMLTasks the Value documentation is quite scarce

Value
[data.frame].

It would be nice to know what the collumns of the data.frame actually are or at least a link to where I can find this.

Since this is an issue that I just ran into myself, can anyone tell me what max.nominal.att.distinct.values means:question:

@joaquinvanschoren
it seems a bit stupid to doc this in R, redundantly.

are the docs for the meta features online so we can link to them in the R docs?

[berndbischl]

it is apparently under "measures" (what i dislike)

https://www.openml.org/search?type=measure

also for heidi's example it simply says:

MaxNominalAttDistinctValues
DataQuality extracted from Fantail Library

:(

@HeidiSeibold
It will be the max number of levels for a categorical input feature.

but in general it does not help us if i have to answer that manually. can we at least link to the fantail docs then?

[HeidiSeibold]

Thanks @berndbischl

I agree, a link should be good, but then the documentation on the website needs to be informative.

Are these two separate issues? - Value documentation - Data quality descriptions The data quality list is indeed under measures. I can add a shortcut link if you want. Where do you want it? I could also split up the measures index into data qualities, evaluation measures, and estimation procedures, but that would be at least a day of work. If you think it really helps I can try to make time. Fantail is available here: http://fantail.quansun.com/ There is no documentation on the Fantail meta-features, and thus nothing to link to. Even Quan Sun's thesis only has a list of them without description. They are quite straightforward, but someone has to go over them and add a good description. Shall we open up a Google Doc for that? -- Thank you, Joaquin

if you want. Where do you want it?

i would like to have the performance metrics and the data qualities simply in 2 different sections, also in the navigation menu.

I could also split up the measures index into data qualities, evaluation
measures, and estimation procedures, but that would be at least a day of
work. If you think it really helps I can try to make time.

i do think that the current state is a bit confusing and such a split-up would help

without a description they borderline useless IMHO ....
shall someone work on this during the workshop?
and how do you do this without fantail docs....?
i mean, are you sure that you know all of the definitions PRECISELY?

[joaquinvanschoren]

Can you create an issue to create those separate indices? The exact definitions of most of these meta-features are in my PhD thesis :). I assume that Fantail has implemented them exactly. Most of the others are simply landmarkers. I'm happy to take an hour at the workshop to clean this up. If you want something more fundamental, like a wiki, that is also possible.
