binaryClassificationLoss: Loss functions for binary classification

Description

Loss functions for binary classification

Usage

logisticLoss(x, y, loss.weights = 1)
rocLoss(x, y)
fbetaLoss(x, y, beta = 1)
hingeLoss(x, y, loss.weights = 1)

Arguments

x

matrix of training instances (one instance by row)

y

a logical vector 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.

beta

a numeric value setting the beta parameter is the f-beta score

Value

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

Functions

• logisticLoss: logistic regression

• rocLoss: Find linear weights maximize area under its ROC curve

• fbetaLoss: F-beta score loss function

• hingeLoss: Hinge Loss for Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM)

  w <- nrbm(fbetaLoss(x,iris$Species=="setosa"));predict(w,x)
