#' @title Create a stacked learner object.
#'
#' @description A stacked learner uses predictions of several base learners and fits
#' a super learner using these predictions as features in order to predict the outcome.
#' The following stacking methods are available:
#'
#'  \describe{
#'   \item{`average`}{Averaging of base learner predictions without weights.}
#'   \item{`stack.nocv`}{Fits the super learner, where in-sample predictions of the base learners are used.}
#'   \item{`stack.cv`}{Fits the super learner, where the base learner predictions are computed
#'   by crossvalidated predictions (the resampling strategy can be set via the `resampling` argument).}
#'   \item{`hill.climb`}{Select a subset of base learner predictions by hill climbing algorithm.}
#'   \item{`compress`}{Train a neural network to compress the model from a collection of base learners.}
#'  }
#'
#' @param base.learners [(list of) [Learner])\cr
#'   A list of learners created with `makeLearner`.
#' @param super.learner [\code{\link{Learner} | character(1)}]\cr
#'   The super learner that makes the final prediction based on the base learners.
#'   If you pass a string, the super learner will be created via `makeLearner`.
#'   Not used for `method = 'average'`. Default is `NULL`.
#' @param predict.type (`character(1)`)\cr
#'   Sets the type of the final prediction for `method = 'average'`.
#'   For other methods, the predict type should be set within `super.learner`.
#'   If the type of the base learner prediction, which is set up within `base.learners`, is
#'   \describe{
#'    \item{`"prob"`}{then `predict.type = 'prob'` will use the average of all
#'    bease learner predictions and `predict.type = 'response'` will use
#'    the class with highest probability as final prediction.}
#'    \item{`"response"`}{then, for classification tasks with `predict.type = 'prob'`,
#'    the final prediction will be the relative frequency based on the predicted base learner classes
#'    and classification tasks with `predict.type = 'response'` will use majority vote of the base
#'    learner predictions to determine the final prediction.
#'    For regression tasks, the final prediction will be the average of the base learner predictions.}
#'   }
#'
#' @param method (`character(1)`)\cr
#'   \dQuote{average} for averaging the predictions of the base learners,
#'   \dQuote{stack.nocv} for building a super learner using the predictions of the base learners,
#'   \dQuote{stack.cv} for building a super learner using crossvalidated predictions of the base learners.
#'   \dQuote{hill.climb} for averaging the predictions of the base learners, with the weights learned from
#'   hill climbing algorithm and
#'   \dQuote{compress} for compressing the model to mimic the predictions of a collection of base learners
#'   while speeding up the predictions and reducing the size of the model.
#'   Default is \dQuote{stack.nocv},
#' @param use.feat (`logical(1)`)\cr
#'   Whether the original features should also be passed to the super learner.
#'   Not used for `method = 'average'`.
#'   Default is `FALSE`.
#' @param resampling ([ResampleDesc])\cr
#'   Resampling strategy for `method = 'stack.cv'`.
#'   Currently only CV is allowed for resampling.
#'   The default `NULL` uses 5-fold CV.
#' @param parset the parameters for `hill.climb` method, including
#' \describe{
#'   \item{`replace`}{Whether a base learner can be selected more than once.}
#'   \item{`init`}{Number of best models being included before the selection algorithm.}
#'   \item{`bagprob`}{The proportion of models being considered in one round of selection.}
#'   \item{`bagtime`}{The number of rounds of the bagging selection.}
#'   \item{`metric`}{The result evaluation metric function taking two parameters `pred` and `true`,
#'   the smaller the score the better.}
#' }
#' the parameters for `compress` method, including
#' \describe{
#'    \item{k}{the size multiplier of the generated data}
#'    \item{prob}{the probability to exchange values}
#'    \item{s}{the standard deviation of each numerical feature}

# FIXMEs:
# - document + test + export
# - benchmark stuff on openml
# - allow base.learners to be character of learners (not only list of learners)
# - rename 'probs' in code into 'preds'
# - allow option to remove predictions for one class in multiclass tasks (to avoid collinearity)
# - DONE: return predictions from each single base learner
# - DONE: allow predict.type = "response" for classif using majority vote (for super learner predict type "response")
#   and using average for super learner predict type "prob".
# - DONE: add option to use normal features in super learner
# - DONE: super learner can also return predicted probabilites
# - DONE: allow regression as well
