Logistic regression via LiblineaR

Description

LiblineaR::LiblineaR() fits a generalized linear model for binary outcomes. A linear combination of the predictors is used to model the log odds of an event.

Details

For this engine, there is a single mode: classification

Tuning Parameters

This model has 2 tuning parameters:

• penalty: Amount of Regularization (type: double, default: see below)

• mixture: Proportion of Lasso Penalty (type: double, default: 0)

For LiblineaR models, the value for mixture can either be 0 (for ridge) or 1 (for lasso) but not other intermediate values. In the LiblineaR::LiblineaR() documentation, these correspond to types 0 (L2-regularized) and 6 (L1-regularized).

Be aware that the LiblineaR engine regularizes the intercept. Other regularized regression models do not, which will result in different parameter estimates.

Translation from parsnip to the original package

logistic_reg(penalty = double(1), mixture = double(1)) %>% 
  set_engine("LiblineaR") %>% 
  translate()

## Logistic Regression Model Specification (classification)
## 
## Main Arguments:
##   penalty = double(1)
##   mixture = double(1)
## 
## Computational engine: LiblineaR 
## 
## Model fit template:
## LiblineaR::LiblineaR(x = missing_arg(), y = missing_arg(), cost = Inf, 
##     type = double(1), verbose = FALSE)

Preprocessing requirements

Factor/categorical predictors need to be converted to numeric values (e.g., dummy or indicator variables) for this engine. When using the formula method via fit(), parsnip will convert factor columns to indicators.

Predictors should have the same scale. One way to achieve this is to center and scale each so that each predictor has mean zero and a variance of one.

Examples

The “Fitting and Predicting with parsnip” article contains examples for logistic_reg() with the "LiblineaR" engine.
