SGD: Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) Method Learning Function

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Description

A function to build prediction model using Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) method.

Usage

1
SGD(dataTrain, alpha = 0.1, maxIter = 10, seed = NULL)

Arguments

dataTrain

a data.frame that representing training data (m \times n), where m is the number of instances and n is the number of variables where the last column is the output variable. dataTrain must have at least two columns and ten rows of data that contain only numbers (integer or float).

alpha

a float value representing learning rate. Default value is 0.1

maxIter

the maximal number of iterations.

seed

a integer value for static random. Default value is NULL, which means the function will not do static random.

Details

This function based on GD method with optimization to use only one instance of training data stochasticaly. So, SGD will perform fast computation and the learning. However, the learning to reach minimum cost will become more unstable.

Value

a vector matrix of theta (coefficient) for linear model.
