svmidwcv: Cross validation, n-fold and leave-one-out for the hybrid method of support vector machine ('svm') regression and inverse distance weighted ('IDW') (svmidw)

Description

This function is a cross validation function for the hybrid method of 'svm' regression and 'idw' using 'gstat' (svmidw), where the data splitting is based on a stratified random sampling method (see the 'datasplit' function for details).

Usage

svmidwcv(
  formula = NULL,
  longlat,
  trainxy,
  y,
  scale = TRUE,
  type = NULL,
  kernel = "radial",
  degree = 3,
  gamma = if (is.vector(trainxy)) 1 else 1/ncol(trainxy),
  coef0 = 0,
  cost = 1,
  nu = 0.5,
  tolerance = 0.001,
  epsilon = 0.1,
  idp = 2,
  nmaxidw = 12,
  validation = "CV",
  cv.fold = 10,
  predacc = "VEcv",
  ...
)

Value

A list with the following components: me, rme, mae, rmae, mse, rmse, rrmse, vecv and e1; or vecv only.

Arguments

formula

a formula defining the response variable and predictive variables for 'svm'.

longlat

a dataframe contains longitude and latitude of point samples.

trainxy

a dataframe contains longitude (long), latitude (lat), predictive variables and the response variable of point samples. That is, the location information must be named as 'long' and 'lat'.

y

a vector of the response variable in the formula, that is, the left part of the formula.

scale

A logical vector indicating the variables to be scaled (default: TRUE).

type

the default setting is 'NULL'. See '?svm' for various options.

kernel

the default setting is 'radial'. See '?svm' for other options.

degree

a parameter needed for kernel of type polynomial (default: 3).

gamma

a parameter needed for all 'kernels' except 'linear' (default: 1/(data dimension)).

coef0

a parameter needed for kernels of type 'polynomial' and 'sigmoid'(default: 0).

cost

cost of constraints violation (default: 1).

nu

a parameter needed for 'nu-classification', 'nu-regression', and 'one-classification' (default: 0.5).

tolerance

tolerance of termination criterion (default: 0.001).

epsilon

'epsilon' in the insensitive-loss function (default: 0.1).

idp

a numeric number specifying the inverse distance weighting power.

nmaxidw

for a local predicting: the number of nearest observations that should be used for a prediction or simulation, where nearest is defined in terms of the space of the spatial locations. By default, 12 observations are used.

validation

validation methods, include 'LOO': leave-one-out, and 'CV': cross-validation.

cv.fold

integer; number of folds in the cross-validation. if > 1, then apply n-fold cross validation; the default is 10, i.e., 10-fold cross validation that is recommended.

predacc

can be either "VEcv" for 'vecv' or "ALL" for all measures in function pred.acc.

...

other arguments passed on to 'svm' and 'gstat'.
