NORMA (version 0.1)

f: Predictor Function

Description

Computes the predictor function of a general noise SVR based on NORMA optimization.

Usage

f(point, t, x, alpha, beta, f_0, kernel = function(x, y, gamma) {     exp(-gamma * (norm(x - y, type = "2")^2)) }, gamma, no_beta)

Arguments

point

numeric with the value of the point where we want to evaluate the predictor function.

t

time parameter value indicating the iteration we want to consider.

x

matrix containing training points. Each row must be a point.

alpha

matrix representing $\alpha$ parameters of NORMA optimization in each iteration, one per row.

beta

numeric representing $\beta$ parameter of NORMA optimization in each iteration.

f_0

initial hypothesis.

kernel

kernel function to use.

gamma

gaussian kernel parameter $\gamma$.

no_beta

boolean indicating if an offset $b$ is used (FALSE) or not (TRUE).

Value

Returns a numeric representing the prediction value.
