maxRuntimeSecs	Max Runtime Secs	his argument specifies the maximum time that the AutoML process will run for. If both max_runtime_secs and max_models are specified, then the AutoML run will stop as soon as it hits either of these limits. If neither max_runtime_secs nor max_models are specified, then max_runtime_secs defaults to 3600 seconds (1 hour).

nlambdas	Number of Lambdas	Number of lambdas to be used in a search. Default indicates: If alpha is zero, with lambda search set to True, the value of nlamdas is set to 30 (fewer lambdas are needed for ridge regression) otherwise it is set to 100.
scoreIterationInterval	Score Iteration Interval	Score Iteration Interval
coldStart	Cold Start	Only applicable to multiple alpha/lambda values. If false, build the next model for next set of alpha/lambda values starting from the values provided by current model. If true will start GLM model from scratch.
missingValuesHandling	Missing Values Handling	Handling of missing values.
nonNegative	Non Negative	Restrict coefficients (not intercept) to be non-negative.
betaEpsilon	Beta Epsilon	Converge if beta changes less (using L-infinity norm) than beta esilon, ONLY applies to IRLSM solver .
objectiveEpsilon	Objective Epsilon	SConverge if objective value changes less than this. Default (of -1.0) indicates: If lambda_search is set to True the value of objective_epsilon is set to .0001. If the lambda_search is set to False and lambda is equal to zero, the value of objective_epsilon is set to .000001, for any other value of lambda the default value of objective_epsilon is set to .0001.
gradientEpsilon	Gradient Epsilon	SConverge if objective changes less (using L-infinity norm) than this, ONLY applies to L-BFGS solver. Default (of -1.0) indicates: If lambda_search is set to False and lambda is equal to zero, the default value of gradient_epsilon is equal to .000001, otherwise the default value is .0001. If lambda_search is set to True, the conditional values above are 1E-8 and 1E-6 respectively.
objReg	Objective Regularizer	Likelihood divider in objective value computation, default (of -1.0) will set it to 1/nobs.
link	Link	Link function
calcLike	Calc Like	if true, will return likelihood function value for HGLM.
HGLM	HGLM	If set to true, will return HGLM model. Otherwise, normal GLM model will be returned.
prior	Prior	SPrior probability for y==1. To be used only for logistic regression iff the data has been sampled and the mean of response does not reflect reality.
lambdaMinRatio	Lambda Min Ratio	Minimum lambda used in lambda search, specified as a ratio of lambda_max (the smallest lambda that drives all coefficients to zero). Default indicates: if the number of observations is greater than the number of variables, then lambda_min_ratio is set to 0.0001; if the number of observations is less than the number of variables, then lambda_min_ratio is set to 0.01.
maxActivePredictors	Max Active Predictors	SMaximum number of active predictors during computation. Use as a stopping criterion to prevent expensive model building with many predictors. Default indicates: If the IRLSM solver is used, the value of max_active_predictors is set to 5000 otherwise it is set to 100000000.
maxAfterBalanceSize	Max After Balance Size	Maximum relative size of the training data after balancing class counts (can be less than 1.0). Requires balance_classes.
maxConfusionMatrixSize	Max Confusion Matrix Size	[Deprecated] Maximum size (# classes) for confusion matrices to be printed in the Logs.
computePValues	Compute P Values	Request p-values computation, p-values work only with IRLSM solver and no regularization.
generateScoringHistory	Generate Scoring History	If set to true, will generate scoring history for GLM. This may significantly slow down the algo.
keepCrossValidationModels	Keep Cross Validation Models	Whether to keep the cross-validated models. Keeping cross-validation models may consume significantly more memory in the H2O cluster.
keepCrossValidationPredictions	Keep Cross Validation Predictions	Whether to keep the predictions of the cross-validation predictions. This needs to be set to TRUE if running the same AutoML object for repeated runs because CV predictions are required to build additional Stacked Ensemble models in AutoML.
keepCrossValidationFoldAssignment	Keep Cross Validation Fold Assignment	Whether to keep cross-validation assignments.
weightCol	Weight Column	Column with observation weights. Giving some observation a weight of zero is equivalent to excluding it from the dataset; giving an observation a relative weight of 2 is equivalent to repeating that row twice. Negative weights are not allowed. Note: Weights are per-row observation weights and do not increase the size of the data frame. This is typically the number of times a row is repeated, but non-integer values are supported as well. During training, rows with higher weights matter more, due to the larger loss function pre-factor. If you set weight = 0 for a row, the returned prediction frame at that row is zero and this is incorrect. To get an accurate prediction, remove all rows with weight == 0.
offsetCol	Offset Column	Offset column. This will be added to the combination of columns before applying the link function.
foldCol	Fold Column	Column with cross-validation fold index assignment per observation.
foldAssignment	Fold Assignment	Cross-validation fold assignment scheme, if fold_column is not specified. The ‘Stratified’ option will stratify the folds based on the response variable, for classification problems.
aucType	AUC Type	Set default multinomial AUC type.
confusionMatrix	Confusion Matrix
output_confusion_matrix_chart	Output Confusion Matrix Chart	whether to display confusion matrix chart.
cm_chart_title	Confusion Matrix Chart Title	Title name to display in Confusion Matrix Chart

Details

Generalized Linear Models (GLM) estimate regression models for outcomes following exponential distributions. In addition to the Gaussian (i.e. normal) distribution, these include Poisson, binomial, and gamma distributions. Each serves a different purpose, and depending on distribution and link function choice, can be used either for prediction or classification.
