Class LibLinearRegression

java.lang.Object

it.uniroma2.sag.kelp.learningalgorithm.regression.liblinear.LibLinearRegression

All Implemented Interfaces:

BinaryLearningAlgorithm, LearningAlgorithm, LinearMethod, RegressionLearningAlgorithm

public class LibLinearRegression
extends Object
implements LinearMethod, RegressionLearningAlgorithm, BinaryLearningAlgorithm

This class implements linear SVM regression trained using a coordinate descent algorithm [Fan et al, 2008]. It operates in an explicit feature space (i.e. it does not relies on any kernel). This code has been adapted from the Java port of the original LIBLINEAR C++ sources.
