In sureshaks/rcane: Different Numeric Optimizations to Estimate Parameter Coefficients

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

rcane

What is it?

An R package to find parameter estimates of Linear Regression

No seriously, what is it?

This is what we did...

A little more info

We start with arbitrary parameter estimates for linear regression and slide down to the optimal values.

But how?

We use 4 different algorithms:

• Batch Gradient Descent

• Stochastic Gradient Descent

• Mini-batch Gradient Descent

• Coordinate Descent

Time for some Math

Batch	Stochastic	Coordinate

Package installation and usage

If you have R >= 3.4.2, follow the instructions

• Open R studio and run this on the console

install_github("sureshaks/rcane")

• Nothing. You can just include it in the search path and use it

library(rcane)
?rlm
