init.liquidSVM: Initialize an SVM object.

In liquidSVM: A Fast and Versatile SVM Package

Description

Should only be used by experts! This initializes a svm object and allocates in C++ an SVM model to which it keeps a reference.

Usage

init.liquidSVM(x, y, ...)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
init.liquidSVM(x, y, ..., d = NULL)

## Default S3 method:
init.liquidSVM(x, y, scenario = NULL,
  useCells = NULL, ..., sampleWeights = NULL, groupIds = NULL,
  ids = NULL, d = NULL)

Arguments

x	either a formula or the features
y	either the data or the labels corresponding to the features x. It can be a character in which case the data is loaded using liquidData. If it is of type liquidData then after training and selection the model is tested using the testing data (y$test).
...	configuration parameters, see Configuration. Can be threads=2, display=1, gpus=1, etc.
d	level of display information
scenario	configures the model for a learning scenario: E.g. scenario='ls', scenario='mc', scenario='npl', scenario='qt' etc. Unlike the specialized functions qtSVM, exSVM, nplSVM etc. this does not trigger the correct select
useCells	if TRUE partitions the problem (equivalent to partition_choice=6)
sampleWeights	vector of weights for every sample or NULL (default) [currently has no effect]
groupIds	vector of integer group ids for every sample or NULL (default). If not NULL this will do group-wise folds, see folds_kind='GROUPED'.
ids	vector of integer ids for every sample or NULL (default) [currently has no effect]

Details

Since it binds heap memory it has to be released using clean.liquidSVM which is also performed at garbage collection.

The training data can either be provided using a formula and a corresponding data.frame or the features and the labels are given directly.

Value

an object of type svm

Methods (by class)

• formula: Initialize SVM model using a a formula and data

• default: Initialize SVM model using a data frame and a label vector
