Gradient Boosting with Linear Models

Description

Gradient boosting for optimizing arbitrary loss functions where component-wise linear models are utilized as base-learners.

Usage

GLMBoostModel(
  family = NULL,
  mstop = 100,
  nu = 0.1,
  risk = c("inbag", "oobag", "none"),
  stopintern = FALSE,
  trace = FALSE
)

Arguments

family	optional Family object. Set automatically according to the class type of the response variable.
mstop	number of initial boosting iterations.
nu	step size or shrinkage parameter between 0 and 1.
risk	method to use in computing the empirical risk for each boosting iteration.
stopintern	logical inidicating whether the boosting algorithm stops internally when the out-of-bag risk increases at a subsequent iteration.
trace	logical indicating whether status information is printed during the fitting process.

Details

Response types:

binary factor, BinomialVariate, NegBinomialVariate, numeric, PoissonVariate, Surv

Automatic tuning of grid parameter:

mstop

Default argument values and further model details can be found in the source See Also links below.

Value

MLModel class object.

## Requires prior installation of suggested package mboost to run

data(Pima.tr, package = "MASS")

fit(type ~ ., data = Pima.tr, model = GLMBoostModel)
