agua enables users to fit, optimize, and evaluate models via H2O using tidymodels syntax. Most users will not have to use aqua directly; the features can be accessed via the new parsnip computational engine 'h2o'.

There are two main components in agua:

New parsnip engine 'h2o' for many models, see Get started for a complete list.
Infrastructure for the tune package.

When fitting a parsnip model, the data are passed to the h2o server directly. For tuning, the data are passed once and instructions are given to h2o.grid() to process them.

This work is based on @stevenpawley’s h2oparsnip package. Additional work was done by Qiushi Yan for his 2022 summer internship at RStudio.

Installation

The CRAN version of the package can be installed via

install.packages("agua")

You can also install the development version of agua using:

require(pak)
pak::pak("tidymodels/agua")

Examples

The following code demonstrates how to create a single model on the h2o server and how to make predictions.

library(tidymodels)
library(agua)
library(h2o)
tidymodels_prefer()

# Start the h2o server before running models
h2o_start()

# Demonstrate fitting parsnip models: 
# Specify the type of model and the h2o engine 
spec <-
  rand_forest(mtry = 3, trees = 1000) %>%
  set_engine("h2o") %>%
  set_mode("regression")

# Fit the model on the h2o server
set.seed(1)
mod <- fit(spec, mpg ~ ., data = mtcars)
mod

Before using the 'h2o' engine, users need to run agua::h2o_start() or h2o::h2o.init() to start the h2o server, which will be storing data, models, and other values passed from the R session.
