\title{Generates a learning curve.}
\usage{
generateLearningCurveData(
  learners,
  task,
  resampling = NULL,
  percs = seq(0.1, 1, by = 0.1),
  measures,
  stratify = FALSE,
  show.info = getMlrOption("show.info")
)
}
\arguments{
\item{learners}{[(list of) \link{Learner})\cr
Learning algorithms which should be compared.}

\item{task}{(\link{Task})\cr
The task.}

\item{resampling}{(\link{ResampleDesc} | \link{ResampleInstance})\cr
Resampling strategy to evaluate the performance measure.
If no strategy is given a default "Holdout" will be performed.}

\item{percs}{(\link{numeric})\cr
Vector of percentages to be drawn from the training split.
These values represent the x-axis.
Internally \link{makeDownsampleWrapper} is used in combination with \link{benchmark}.
Thus for each percentage a different set of observations is drawn resulting in noisy performance measures as the quality of the sample can differ.}

\item{measures}{[(list of) \link{Measure})\cr
Performance measures to generate learning curves for, representing the y-axis.}

\item{stratify}{(\code{logical(1)})\cr
Only for classification:
Should the downsampled data be stratified according to the target classes?}

\item{show.info}{(\code{logical(1)})\cr
Print verbose output on console?
Default is set via \link{configureMlr}.}
}
\value{
(\link{LearningCurveData}). A \code{list} containing:
\itemize{
\item The \link{Task}
\item List of \link{Measure})\cr
Performance measures
\item data (\link{data.frame}) with columns:
\itemize{
\item \code{learner} Names of learners.
\item \code{percentage} Percentages drawn from the training split.
\item One column for each \link{Measure} passed to \link{generateLearningCurveData}.
}
}
}
\description{
Observe how the performance changes with an increasing number of observations.
