RPParallel: Chooses a projection from each block in parallel

In RPEnsemble: Random Projection Ensemble Classification

Description

Makes B1 calls to RPChoose or RPChooseSS in parallel and returns the results as a matrix.

Usage

RPParallel(XTrain, YTrain, XVal, YVal, XTest, d, B1 = 500, B2 = 50, 
base = "LDA",projmethod = "Gaussian", estmethod = "training", k = c(3,5,9), 
clustertype = "Default", cores = 1, machines = NULL, seed = 1, ... )

Arguments

XTrain	An n by p matrix containing the training data feature vectors
YTrain	A vector of length n containing the classes (either 1 or 2) of the training data
XVal	An n.val by p matrix containing the validation data feature vectors
YVal	A vector of length n.val of the classes (either 1 or 2) of the validation data
XTest	An n.test by p matrix containing the test data feature vectors
d	The lower dimension of the image space of the projections
B1	The number of blocks
B2	The size of each block
base	The base classifier one of "knn","LDA","QDA" or "other"
k	The options for k if base is "knn"
projmethod	"Haar", "Gaussian" or "axis"
estmethod	Method for estimating the test errors to choose the projection: either training error "training", leave-one-out "loo", or sample split "samplesplit"
clustertype	The type of cluster: "Default" uses just one core, "Fork" uses a single machine, "Socket" uses many machines. Note "Fork" and "Socket" are not supported on windows.
cores	Required only if clustertype==Fork: the number of computer cores to use (note: cores > 1 not supported on Windows)
machines	Required only if clustertype==Socket: the names of the machines to use e.g. c("Computer1", "Computer2") (not supported on Windows)
seed	If not NULL, sets random seed for reproducible results
...	Optional further arguments if base = "other"

Details

Makes B1 calls to RPChoose or RPChooseSS in parallel.

Value

If estmethod == "training" or "loo" , then returns an n+n.test by B1 matrix, each row containing the result of a call to RPChoose. If estmethod == "samplesplit", then returns an n.val+n.test by B1 matrix, each row containing the result of a call to RPChooseSS.
