kfm_nystrom: Fit a Nyström kernel feature map approximation

In mildsvm: Multiple-Instance Learning with Support Vector Machines

Fit a Nyström kernel feature map approximation

Description

Use the Nyström method to fit a feature map that approximates a given kernel.

Usage

kfm_nystrom(df, m, r, kernel, sampling, ...)

## Default S3 method:
kfm_nystrom(
  df,
  m = nrow(df),
  r = m,
  kernel = "radial",
  sampling = "random",
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'mild_df'
kfm_nystrom(
  df,
  m = nrow(df),
  r = m,
  kernel = "radial",
  sampling = "random",
  ...
)

Arguments

df	An object containing covariates for training. Usually a data.frame or matrix.
m	The number of examples from df to sample in fitting.
r	The rank of matrix approximation to use. Must be less than or equal to m, the default.
kernel	A character determining the kernel to use. Currently, only 'radial' is implemented.
sampling	A character determining how to sample instances. Default is 'random'. For kfm_nystrom.mild_df(), one can specify sampling = 'stratified' to ensure that samples are chosen evenly from bags and instances. sampling can also be a numeric vector of length m of pre-determined samples.
...	additional parameters needed for the kernels. See details.

Details

For the ... argument, the additional parameters depend on which kernel is used:

• For kernel = 'radial', specify sigma to define kernel bandwidth.

Value

an object of class kfm_nystrom with the following components:

• df_sub the sub-sampled version of df

• dv pre-multiplication matrix which contains information on the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of df_sub

• method 'nystrom'

• kernel the input parameter kernel

• kernel_params parameters passed to ...

Methods (by class)

• default: For use on objects of class data.frame or matrix.

• mild_df: Ignore the information columns 'bag_label', 'bag_name', and 'instance_name' when calculating kernel approximation.

  X3 = rnorm(7)
)

fit <- kfm_nystrom(df, m = 7, r = 6, kernel = "radial", sigma = 0.05)
