- Changed the default
alignment
tolambda
forcv.abclass()
andrefit
inet.abclass()
if a sequence of lambda's is specified. A warning message would be thrown out for the former.
- Added support of sparse matrix
x
of classsparseMatrix
(provided by the{Matrix}
package) forabclass()
andpredict.abclass()
. - Added new functions named
cv.abclass()
andet.abclass()
for training and tuning the angle-based classifiers with cross-validation and an efficient tuning procedure for lasso-type algorithms, respectively. See the corresponding function documentation for details. - Added experimental classifiers with sup-norm penalties. See the functions
supclass()
andcv.supclass()
for details.
- Simplified the function
abclass()
and moved the tuning procedure by cross-validation to the functioncv.abclass()
.
- Changed the default values of the following arguments for
abclass.control()
.alpha
: from0.5
to1.0
epsilon
: from1e-3
to1e-4
- Fixed
alignment
inabclass.control()
.
- Added experimental group-wise regularization by group SCAD and group MCP penalty.
- Added a new function named
abclass.control()
to specify the control parameters and simplify the main function interface.
- Renamed the argument
max_iter
tomaxit
forabclass()
.
- Fixed the validation indices in the cross-validation procedure
- Added experimental group-wise regularization by group lasso penalty.
- Removed the function call from the return of
abclass()
to avoid unnecessarily large returned objects - Changed the default value of
lum_c
forabclass()
from 0 to 1. - Renamed the argument
rel_tol
toepsilon
forabclass()
.
- Fixed the first derivatives of the boosting loss
- Fixed the label prediction by using the fitted inner products instead of the probability estimates
- Fixed the computation of regularization terms for verbose outputs in
AbclassNet
- Fixed the computation of validation accuracy in cross-validation
- Fixed the assignment of
lum_c
in the associated header files. - Fixed the computation of lower bound for distinct observation weights
- The first release of abclass providing the multi-category angle-based large-margin classifiers with various loss functions.
