Reinistate integration tests for SymbolicRegression?

[ablaom]

The issue MilesCranmer/SymbolicRegression.jl#390 is now resolved. However, the models are extremely slow to train, relatively to others; integration tests on tiny data sets take some minutes (> 10min) apparently due to inappropriate default hyper-parameters for small data.

I propose removing SymbolicRegression altogether from the tests, as not really needed for testing integration. We have plenty of other models of that generic type.

If just needing a quick test, you could set .niterations=1? The hyperparameter defaults are much beefier.

Thanks for the suggestion, but integration tests only test default values.

I’m not sure I understand the issue here. Do you mean that the defaults need to be under a certain compute budget as part of the formal interface? But different algorithms have different costs, by their very nature. Maybe there could be a MLJModelInterface.test_defaults(::Regressor) trait to recommend defaults for unit test purposes?
