Class HuberLoss

java.lang.Object

jsat.lossfunctions.HuberLoss

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, LossFunc, LossR

public class HuberLoss
extends Object
implements LossR

The HuberLoss loss function for regression. The HuberLoss loss switches between SquaredLoss and AbsoluteLoss loss based on a threshold value.
This function is only partially twice differentiable.

                          double c)

Computes the HuberLoss loss

Parameters:

pred - the predicted value

y - the true value

c - the threshold value

Returns:

the HuberLoss loss

deriv

public static double deriv(double pred,
                           double y,
                           double c)

Computes the first derivative of the HuberLoss loss

Parameters:

pred - the predicted value

y - the true value

c - the threshold value

Returns:

the first derivative of the HuberLoss loss

deriv2

public static double deriv2(double pred,
                            double y,
                            double c)

Computes the second derivative of the HuberLoss loss, which only exists for values < c

Parameters:

pred - the predicted value

y - the target value

c - the threshold value

Returns:

the second derivative of the HuberLoss loss

regress

public static double regress(double score)

getLoss

public double getLoss(double pred,
                      double y)

Description copied from interface: LossR

Computes the getLoss for a regression problem.

Specified by:

getLoss in interface LossFunc

Specified by:

getLoss in interface LossR

Parameters:

pred - the predicted value in (-Infinity, Infinity)

y - the true target value in (-Infinity, Infinity)

Returns:

the getLoss in [0, Inf)

getDeriv

public double getDeriv(double pred,
                       double y)

Description copied from interface: LossR

Computes the first derivative of the getLoss function.

Specified by:

getDeriv in interface LossFunc

Specified by:

getDeriv in interface LossR

Parameters:

pred - the predicted value in (-Infinity, Infinity)

y - the true target value in (-Infinity, Infinity)

Returns:

the first derivative of the getLoss

getDeriv2

public double getDeriv2(double pred,
                        double y)

Description copied from interface: LossR

Computes the second derivative of the getLoss function.

Specified by:

getDeriv2 in interface LossFunc

Specified by:

getDeriv2 in interface LossR

Parameters:

pred - the predicted value in (-Infinity, Infinity)

y - the true target value in (-Infinity, Infinity)

Returns:

the second derivative of the getLoss function

getDeriv2Max

public double getDeriv2Max()

Description copied from interface: LossFunc

Returns an upper bound on the maximum value of the second derivative. If the second derivative does not exist, Double.NaN is a valid result. It is also possible for 0 and Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY to be valid results, and must be checked for.

Specified by:

getDeriv2Max in interface LossFunc

Returns:

the max value of LossFunc.getDeriv2(double, double)

clone

public HuberLoss clone()

Specified by:

clone in interface LossFunc

Specified by:

clone in interface LossR

Overrides:

clone in class Object

getRegression

public double getRegression(double score)

Description copied from interface: LossR

Given the score value of a data point, this returns the correct numeric result. For most regression problems this simply returns the score value.

Specified by:

getRegression in interface LossR

Parameters:

score - the score for a data point

Returns:

the correct numeric regression value for this loss function
