multinomial_GAGA: Fit a multinomial model via the GAGA algorithm

Description

Fit a multinomial model the Global Adaptive Generative Adjustment algorithm

Usage

multinomial_GAGA(
  X,
  y,
  alpha = 1,
  itrNum = 50,
  thresh = 0.001,
  flag = TRUE,
  lamda_0 = 0.001,
  fdiag = TRUE,
  subItrNum = 20
)

Value

Coefficient matrix with K-1 columns, where K is the class number. For k=1,..,K-1, the probability $$Pr(G=k|x)=exp(x^T beta_k) /(1+sum_{k=1}^{K-1}exp(x^T beta_k))$$. For k=K, the probability $$Pr(G=K|x)=1/(1+sum_{k=1}^{K-1}exp(x^T beta_k))$$.

Arguments

X

Input matrix, of dimension nobs*nvars; each row is an observation. If the intercept term needs to be considered in the estimation process, then the first column of X must be all 1s.

y

a One-hot response matrix or a nc>=2 level factor

alpha

Hyperparameter. The suggested value for alpha is 1 or 2. When the collinearity of the load matrix is serious, the hyperparameters can be selected larger, such as 5.

itrNum

The number of iteration steps. In general, 20 steps are enough. If the condition number of X is large, it is recommended to greatly increase the number of iteration steps.

thresh

Convergence threshold for beta Change, if max(abs(beta-beta_old))<threshold, return.

flag

It identifies whether to make model selection. The default is TRUE.

lamda_0

The initial value of the regularization parameter for ridge regression. The running result of the algorithm is not sensitive to this value.

fdiag

It identifies whether to use diag Approximation to speed up the algorithm.

subItrNum

Maximum number of steps for subprocess iterations.
