gausspr | R Documentation |
gausspr
is an implementation of Gaussian processes
for classification and regression.
## S4 method for signature 'formula'
gausspr(x, data=NULL, ..., subset, na.action = na.omit, scaled = TRUE)
## S4 method for signature 'vector'
gausspr(x,...)
## S4 method for signature 'matrix'
gausspr(x, y, scaled = TRUE, type= NULL, kernel="rbfdot",
kpar="automatic", var=1, variance.model = FALSE, tol=0.0005,
cross=0, fit=TRUE, ... , subset, na.action = na.omit)
x |
a symbolic description of the model to be fit or a matrix or vector when a formula interface is not used. When not using a formula x is a matrix or vector containing the variables in the model |
data |
an optional data frame containing the variables in the model. By default the variables are taken from the environment which ‘gausspr’ is called from. |
y |
a response vector with one label for each row/component of |
type |
Type of problem. Either "classification" or "regression".
Depending on whether |
scaled |
A logical vector indicating the variables to be
scaled. If |
kernel |
the kernel function used in training and predicting. This parameter can be set to any function, of class kernel, which computes a dot product between two vector arguments. kernlab provides the most popular kernel functions which can be used by setting the kernel parameter to the following strings:
The kernel parameter can also be set to a user defined function of class kernel by passing the function name as an argument. |
kpar |
the list of hyper-parameters (kernel parameters). This is a list which contains the parameters to be used with the kernel function. Valid parameters for existing kernels are :
Hyper-parameters for user defined kernels can be passed through the kpar parameter as well. |
var |
the initial noise variance, (only for regression) (default : 0.001) |
variance.model |
build model for variance or standard deviation estimation (only for regression) (default : FALSE) |
tol |
tolerance of termination criterion (default: 0.001) |
fit |
indicates whether the fitted values should be computed and included in the model or not (default: 'TRUE') |
cross |
if a integer value k>0 is specified, a k-fold cross validation on the training data is performed to assess the quality of the model: the Mean Squared Error for regression |
subset |
An index vector specifying the cases to be used in the training sample. (NOTE: If given, this argument must be named.) |
na.action |
A function to specify the action to be taken if |
... |
additional parameters |
A Gaussian process is specified by a mean and a covariance function.
The mean is a function of x
(which is often the zero function), and
the covariance
is a function C(x,x')
which expresses the expected covariance between the
value of the function y
at the points x
and x'
.
The actual function y(x)
in any data modeling problem is assumed to be
a single sample from this Gaussian distribution.
Laplace approximation is used for the parameter estimation in gaussian
processes for classification.
The predict function can return class probabilities for
classification problems by setting the type
parameter to "probabilities".
For the regression setting the type
parameter to "variance" or "sdeviation" returns the estimated variance or standard deviation at each predicted point.
An S4 object of class "gausspr" containing the fitted model along with information. Accessor functions can be used to access the slots of the object which include :
alpha |
The resulting model parameters |
error |
Training error (if fit == TRUE) |
