This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.2). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.
Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.
Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.
The command set.seed(20210907)
was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.
Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.
Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.
Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.
Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.
The results in this page were generated with repository version a034f06. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.
Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish
or wflow_git_commit
). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

SLICED is like the TV Show Chopped but for data science. Competitors get a never-before-seen dataset and two-hours to code a solution to a prediction challenge. Contestants get points for the best model plus bonus points for data visualization, votes from the audience, and more.
Season 1 Episode 5 featured a challenge to predict AirBnb pricing for properties in New York City. The evaluation metric in this competition is residual mean log squared error.
To make the best use of the resources that we have, we will explore the data set features to select those with the most predictive power, build a random forest to confirm the recipe, and then use the rest of the time to build one or more catboost ensemble models. Let’s load up some packages:
suppressPackageStartupMessages({
library(tidyverse)
library(hrbrthemes)
library(lubridate)
library(tidytext)
library(tidymodels)
library(textrecipes)
library(treesnip)
library(finetune)
library(stacks)
library(themis)
library(baguette)
library(catboost)
})
source(here::here("code","_common.R"),
verbose = FALSE,
local = knitr::knit_global())
ggplot2::theme_set(theme_jim(base_size = 12))
#create a data directory
data_dir <- here::here("data",Sys.Date())
if (!file.exists(data_dir)) dir.create(data_dir)
# set a competition metric
mset <- metric_set(mn_log_loss)
# set the competition name from the web address
competition_name <- "sliced-s01e05-WXx7h8"
zipfile <- paste0(data_dir,"/", competition_name, ".zip")
path_export <- here::here("data",Sys.Date(),paste0(competition_name,".csv"))
A quick reminder before downloading the dataset: Go to the web site and accept the competition terms!!!
I was out on holiday this past week and missed the live competition. This file is a compilation of some of the best parts of what the contestants demonstrated (live coding from scratch) and Julia Silge’s custom metric blog post.
We have basic shell commands available to interact with Kaggle here:
# from the Kaggle api https://github.com/Kaggle/kaggle-api
# the leaderboard
shell(glue::glue("kaggle competitions leaderboard { competition_name } -s"))
# the files to download
shell(glue::glue("kaggle competitions files -c { competition_name }"))
# the command to download files
shell(glue::glue("kaggle competitions download -c { competition_name } -p { data_dir }"))
# unzip the files received
shell(glue::glue("unzip { zipfile } -d { data_dir }"))
Reading in the contents of the datafiles here:
train_df <-
read_csv(file = glue::glue(
{
data_dir
},
"/train.csv"
)) %>%
mutate(across(c(id, host_id), as.character)) %>%
mutate(across(
c(host_name, neighbourhood_group, neighbourhood, room_type),
as.factor
)) %>%
mutate(price = log10(price + 1))
test_df <-
read_csv(file = glue::glue(
{
data_dir
},
"/test.csv"
)) %>%
mutate(across(c(id, host_id), as.character)) %>%
mutate_if(is.character, as.factor)
Some questions to answer here: What features have missing data, and imputations may be required? What does the outcome variable look like, in terms of imbalance?
skimr::skim(train_df)
Outcome variable log10(price)
has a mean of 2.06 and a range between 0 and 4. Numerical feature reviews_per_month
and date last_review
are missing about 20% of the time in training data. Categorical variable neighbourhood
has 217 levels.

Conclusions:
I am going to train on almost all of the train data. The 1% left is a quick confirmation of validity. The provided file labeled test
has no labels.
set.seed(2021)
split <- train_df %>%
initial_split(
strata = price,
prop = .99
)
train <- training(split)
valid <- testing(split)
There are only 344 held out from training as a last check before submission.
basic_rec <-
recipe(price ~ ., train) %>%
# ---- set aside the row id's
update_role(id, host_name, new_role = "id") %>%
step_novel(neighbourhood) %>%
step_other(neighbourhood, threshold = 0.01) %>%
step_novel(host_id) %>%
step_other(host_id, threshold = 0.01) %>%
step_tokenize(name) %>%
step_stopwords(name) %>%
step_texthash(name, num_terms = 16) %>%
step_indicate_na(last_review, reviews_per_month) %>%
step_mutate(last_review = if_else(is.na(last_review),
min(train$last_review, na.rm = TRUE), last_review
)) %>%
step_holiday(last_review) %>%
step_date(last_review,
features = "year",
keep_original_cols = FALSE
) %>%
step_ns(longitude, latitude, deg_free = 4) %>%
step_normalize(all_numeric_predictors()) %>%
step_nzv(all_predictors())
basic_rec %>%
# finalize_recipe(list(num_comp = 2)) %>%
prep() %>%
juice()
We will use 5-fold cross validation and stratify between the rain and no-rain classes.
train_folds <- vfold_cv(
data = train,
strata = price,
v = 5
)
We will build a specification for simple shallow random forest and a specification for catboost.
catboost_spec <- boost_tree(
trees = 1000,
min_n = tune(),
learn_rate = tune(),
tree_depth = tune()
) %>%
set_engine("catboost") %>%
set_mode("regression")
bag_spec <-
bag_tree(min_n = 10) %>%
set_engine("rpart", times = 50) %>%
set_mode("regression")
The yardstick default RMSE is on the log of price, not RMSLE on price. This will create a custom function to track RMSLE:
library(rlang)
rmsle_vec <- function(truth, estimate, na_rm = TRUE, ...) {
rmsle_impl <- function(truth, estimate) {
sqrt(mean((log(truth + 1) - log(estimate + 1))^2))
}
metric_vec_template(
metric_impl = rmsle_impl,
truth = truth,
estimate = estimate,
na_rm = na_rm,
cls = "numeric",
...
)
}
rmsle <- function(data, ...) {
UseMethod("rmsle")
}
rmsle <- new_numeric_metric(rmsle, direction = "minimize")
rmsle.data.frame <- function(data, truth, estimate, na_rm = TRUE, ...) {
metric_summarizer(
metric_nm = "rmsle",
metric_fn = rmsle_vec,
data = data,
truth = !!enquo(truth),
estimate = !!enquo(estimate),
na_rm = na_rm,
...
)
}
mset <- metric_set(rmsle)
To speed up computation we will use a parallel backend.
all_cores <- parallelly::availableCores(omit = 1)

future::plan("multisession", workers = all_cores) # on Windows
Lets make a cursory check of the recipe and variable importance, which comes out of rpart
for free. This workflow also handles factors without dummies.
bag_wf <-
workflow() %>%
add_recipe(basic_rec) %>%
add_model(bag_spec)
set.seed(123)
bag_fit <- parsnip::fit(bag_wf, data = train)
extract_fit_parsnip(bag_fit)$fit$imp %>%
mutate(term = fct_reorder(term, value)) %>%
ggplot(aes(value, term)) +

geom_errorbarh(aes(

xmax = value + `std.error` / 2
),
height = .3
) +
labs(
title = "Feature Importance",
x = NULL, y = NULL
)
We see that room_type
and the geographical information will be very important for this model.
Now that we have some confidence that the features have predictive power, lets tune up a set of catboost
models.
catboost_params <-
dials::parameters(
min_n(), # min data in leaf
tree_depth(range = c(4, 15)),
learn_rate(
range = c(-3, -0.7),
trans = log10_trans()
)
)
cbst_grid <- dials::grid_max_entropy(catboost_params,
size = 40
)
cbst_grid
cv_res_catboost <-
workflow() %>%
add_recipe(basic_rec) %>%
add_model(catboost_spec) %>%
tune_grid(
resamples = train_folds,
grid = cbst_grid,
control = control_race(
verbose = FALSE,
save_pred = TRUE,
save_workflow = TRUE,
extract = extract_model,
parallel_over = "resamples"
),
metrics = mset
)
autoplot(cv_res_catboost)
show_best(cv_res_catboost) %>%
select(-.estimator)
cat_wf_best <-
workflow() %>%
add_recipe(basic_rec) %>%
add_model(catboost_spec) %>%
finalize_workflow(select_best(cv_res_catboost))
cat_fit_best <- cat_wf_best %>%
parsnip::fit(data = train)
Catboost model performance
predict(cat_fit_best, new_data = valid) %>%
cbind(valid) %>%
ggplot(aes(10^price + 1,
10^.pred + 1,
color = neighbourhood_group
)) +
geom_abline(
slope = 1,
lty = 2,
color = "gray50",
alpha = 0.5
) +
geom_point(alpha = 0.8, shape = 21) +
scale_x_log10(labels = scales::dollar_format(accuracy = 1)) +
scale_y_log10(labels = scales::dollar_format(accuracy = 1)) +
labs(
color = NULL,
x = "True price",
y = "Predicted price"
)
predict(cat_fit_best, new_data = valid) %>%
cbind(valid) %>%
rmsle(10^price - 1, 10^.pred - 1)
This catboost figure is somewhat better than the leaderboard RMSLE of 0.40758, so it would have been worthy of submission.
Lastly, we build the submission file
bind_cols(predict(cat_fit_best, test_df), test_df) %>%
select(id, price = .pred) %>%
write_csv(file = path_export)
and make the submission to the Kaggle board
shell(glue::glue('kaggle competitions submit -c { competition_name } -f { path_export } -m "Catboosted"'))
