This is a very naive/simple learner that simply predicts the mean of the
outcome for every row of input newdata
. This is primarily
useful for benchmarking and confirming that other learners are
performing better than lnr_mean
. Additionally, it may be the case
that some learners are over-fitting the data, and giving some weight to
lnr_mean
helps to reduce over-fitting in super_learner()
.
