quantileRegressionLoss: The loss function to perform a quantile regression
Description
The loss function to perform a quantile regressionUsage
quantileRegressionLoss(w, x, y, q = 0.5, cache = NULL)
Arguments
w
weight vector where the function have to be
evaluated
x
matrix of training instances (one instance by
row)
y
numeric vector of values representing the
training labels for each instance in x
q
a numeric value in the range [0-1] defining
quantile value to consider
cache
if NULL (which is the case at the first
call) parameters values are checked
Value
- a 2 element list (value,gradient) where "value" is the
value of the function at point w, and "gradient" is the
gradient of the loss function at w
