Whats the best route to save the predictions into a csv file (using Tribuo classes)

Ask the question What’s the best route to save the predictions into a csv file (using Tribuo classes). Say I have a List<Prediction<Regressor>>

One way could be to iterate thru the list of items and write it to the disk via some FileXxxx() class.

Is your question about a specific Tribuo class? List<Prediction<Regressor>> and Dataset (one of it’s concrete subclasses)

Ok. I’m not sure where such a method should live. We have done this in the past when writing out classification outputs for comparison against other systems, but it lives in the main method - https://github.com/oracle/tribuo/blob/main/Classification/Experiments/src/main/java/org/tribuo/classification/experiments/ConfigurableTrainTest.java#L169.

Any suggestions on where it should go? It needs to be specialised to each Output type, so I guess it could be a method on the OutputFactory?

Let me try to work a workflow from a user perspective, I think some of the low-level (granular) calls could be brought to a higher-level (wrapped with higher-level functions) so we don’t have to do a lot of x.y.z() to get to the results - there is a bit of a cognitive overload as well when it comes to getting from one part of the flow to the other.

What else did you need apart from the regression outputs? The features and ground truth outputs should be simple to access.
