regressionLosses: Loss functions to perform a regression

Description

Loss functions to perform a regression

Usage

lmsRegressionLoss(x, y, loss.weights = 1)
ladRegressionLoss(x, y, loss.weights = 1)
quantileRegressionLoss(x, y, q = 0.5, loss.weights = 1)
epsilonInsensitiveRegressionLoss(x, y, epsilon, loss.weights = 1)

Arguments

x

matrix of training instances (one instance by row)

y

numeric vector of values representing the training labels for each instance in x

loss.weights

numeric vector of loss weights to incure for each instance of x. Vector length should match length(y), but values are cycled if not of identical size.

q

a numeric value in the range [0-1] defining quantile value to consider

epsilon

a numeric value setting tolerance of the epsilon-regression

Value

a function taking one argument w and computing the loss value and the gradient at point w

Functions

• lmsRegressionLoss: Least Mean Square regression

• ladRegressionLoss: Least Absolute Deviation regression

• quantileRegressionLoss: Quantile Regression

• epsilonInsensitiveRegressionLoss: epsilon-insensitive regression (Vapnik et al. 1997)
