missing details in 'find/parsnip' page

Open bbolker opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I'm not sure if this is the right venue for reporting issues/queries with https://www.tidymodels.org/find/parsnip/ ; if not, please let me know where it should go instead ...

Under "explore model arguments", if I type "random" into the search box, that restricts the search to random forest only. Under the "engine" heading, it lists "randomForest" only, with tuning parameters "mtry", "ntree", and "nodesize". If I enter "ranger" for the engine, no entries are found. I assume based on the ranger documentation that these tuning parameters correspond to "mtry", "num.trees", and "min.node.size" respectively (ranger also has a "max.depth" tuning parameter that I assume is complementary to "min.node.size"). (I can draw similar conclusions by going to the ranger details page

Am I missing/misinterpreting something, or should I assume that there is a backend database somewhere that is missing the correspondences for "ranger"? (I would be happy to take a shot at updating such a database, although it might be easier for someone with more knowledge of the ecosystem ...)

Thank you for the feedback! We are working on the website right now on a semi-major redo. So we will make sure to take this problem into consideration when we get to the search. Thanks for raising this problem with us! It means a lot!
