s_LOESS: Local Polynomial Regression (LOESS) [R]

In egenn/rtemis: Machine Learning and Visualization

Local Polynomial Regression (LOESS) [R]

Description

Fits a LOESS curve or surface

Usage

s_LOESS(
  x,
  y = NULL,
  x.test = NULL,
  y.test = NULL,
  x.name = NULL,
  y.name = NULL,
  print.plot = FALSE,
  plot.fitted = NULL,
  plot.predicted = NULL,
  plot.theme = rtTheme,
  question = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  trace = 0,
  outdir = NULL,
  save.mod = ifelse(!is.null(outdir), TRUE, FALSE),
  ...
)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector or matrix / data frame of features i.e. independent variables
y	Numeric vector of outcome, i.e. dependent variable
x.test	Numeric vector or matrix / data frame of testing set features Columns must correspond to columns in x
y.test	Numeric vector of testing set outcome
x.name	Character: Name for feature set
y.name	Character: Name for outcome
print.plot	Logical: if TRUE, produce plot using mplot3 Takes precedence over plot.fitted and plot.predicted.
plot.fitted	Logical: if TRUE, plot True (y) vs Fitted
plot.predicted	Logical: if TRUE, plot True (y.test) vs Predicted. Requires x.test and y.test
plot.theme	Character: "zero", "dark", "box", "darkbox"
question	Character: the question you are attempting to answer with this model, in plain language.
verbose	Logical: If TRUE, print summary to screen.
trace	Integer: If higher than 0, will print more information to the console.
outdir	Path to output directory. If defined, will save Predicted vs. True plot, if available, as well as full model output, if save.mod is TRUE
save.mod	Logical: If TRUE, save all output to an RDS file in outdir save.mod is TRUE by default if an outdir is defined. If set to TRUE, and no outdir is defined, outdir defaults to paste0("./s.", mod.name)
...	Additional arguments to loess

Details

A maximum of 4 features are allowed in this implementation (stats::loess) The main use for this algorithm would be fitting curves in bivariate plots, where GAM or similar is preferable anyway. It is included in rtemis mainly for academic purposes - not for building predictive models.
