All Implemented Interfaces:

BinaryLearningAlgorithm, KernelMethod, LearningAlgorithm, RegressionLearningAlgorithm

public class EpsilonSvmRegression
extends LibCSvmSolver
implements RegressionLearningAlgorithm, KernelMethod

It implements the \(\epsilon\)-SVR learning algorithm discussed in [CC Chang & CJ Lin, 2011]. It is a learning algorithm for linear regression based on Support Vector Machines [Vapnik, 1998]. It relies on kernel functions.

It is a Java porting of the library LIBSVM v3.17, written in C++.

EpsilonSvmRegression

public EpsilonSvmRegression()

Method Detail

duplicate

public EpsilonSvmRegression duplicate()

Description copied from interface: LearningAlgorithm

Creates a new instance of the LearningAlgorithm initialized with the same parameters of the learningAlgorithm to be duplicated. A shallow copy of the learning parameters is performed, while the state parameters are initialized to their default value. The labels are not initialized neither copied

Specified by:

duplicate in interface LearningAlgorithm

get_QD

protected float[] get_QD()

Description copied from class: LibSvmSolver

For each example i, it return the K_ii score

Overrides:

get_QD in class LibSvmSolver

Returns:

the array of K_ii score

get_Qij

protected float get_Qij(int i,
            int j)

Overrides:

get_Qij in class LibSvmSolver

getpReg

public float getpReg()

setpReg

public void setpReg(float pReg)

getPredictionFunction

public RegressionFunction getPredictionFunction()

Description copied from interface: RegressionLearningAlgorithm

Returns the regressor learned during the training process

Specified by:

getPredictionFunction in interface LearningAlgorithm

Specified by:

getPredictionFunction in interface RegressionLearningAlgorithm

Returns:

the regressor learned during the training process

learn

public void learn(Dataset dataset)

Description copied from interface: LearningAlgorithm

It starts the training process exploiting the provided dataset

Specified by:

learn in interface LearningAlgorithm

Parameters:

dataset - the training data

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: LearningAlgorithm

Specified by:

reset in interface LearningAlgorithm

setKernel

public void setKernel(Kernel kernel)

Description copied from interface: KernelMethod

Sets the kernel this

Specified by:

setKernel in interface KernelMethod

Parameters:

kernel - the kernel to set

setLabels

public void setLabels(Label... labels)

swap_index

protected void swap_index(int i,
              int j)
