public class LibLinearRegressionTrainer extends LibLinearTrainer<Regressor>
A Trainer which wraps a liblinear-java regression trainer.

This generates an independent liblinear model for each regression dimension.

  • Constructor Details

    • LibLinearRegressionTrainer

      public LibLinearRegressionTrainer()
      Creates a trainer using the default values (L2R_L2LOSS_SVR, 1, 1000, 0.1, 0.1).

    • LibLinearRegressionTrainer

      public LibLinearRegressionTrainer(LinearRegressionType trainerType)
      Creates a trainer for a LibLinear regression model.

      Uses the default values of cost = 1.0, maxIterations = 1000, terminationCriterion = 0.1, epsilon = 0.1.

      Parameters:
      trainerType - Loss function and optimisation method.

    • LibLinearRegressionTrainer

      public LibLinearRegressionTrainer(LinearRegressionType trainerType, double cost, int maxIterations, double terminationCriterion, double epsilon)
      Creates a trainer for a LibLinear regression model.

      Uses Trainer.DEFAULT_SEED as the RNG seed.

      Parameters:
      trainerType - Loss function and optimisation method combination.
      cost - Cost penalty for each incorrectly classified training point.
      maxIterations - The maximum number of dataset iterations.
      terminationCriterion - How close does the optimisation function need to be before terminating that subproblem (usually set to 0.1).
      epsilon - The insensitivity of the regression loss to small differences.

    • LibLinearRegressionTrainer

      public LibLinearRegressionTrainer(LinearRegressionType trainerType, double cost, int maxIterations, double terminationCriterion, double epsilon, long seed)
      Creates a trainer for a LibLinear regression model.
      Parameters:
      trainerType - Loss function and optimisation method combination.
      cost - Cost penalty for each incorrectly classified training point.
      maxIterations - The maximum number of dataset iterations.
      terminationCriterion - How close does the optimisation function need to be before terminating that subproblem (usually set to 0.1).
      epsilon - The insensitivity of the regression loss to small differences.
      seed - The RNG seed.
