Training Algorithm Details

Ordinary least squares (OLS) is a parameterized regression method. It assumes that the conditional mean of the dependent variable follows a linear function of the dependent variables. The regression parameters can be estimated by minimizing the squares of the difference between observed values and the predictions

Fields

FeatureColumn

The feature column that the trainer expects.

(Inherited from TrainerEstimatorBase<TTransformer,TModel>)
LabelColumn

The label column that the trainer expects. Can be null, which indicates that label is not used for training.

(Inherited from TrainerEstimatorBase<TTransformer,TModel>)
WeightColumn

The weight column that the trainer expects. Can be null, which indicates that weight is not used for training.

Extension Methods

AppendCacheCheckpoint<TTrans>(IEstimator<TTrans>, IHostEnvironment)

Append a 'caching checkpoint' to the estimator chain. This will ensure that the downstream estimators will be trained against cached data. It is helpful to have a caching checkpoint before trainers that take multiple data passes.

WithOnFitDelegate<TTransformer>(IEstimator<TTransformer>, Action<TTransformer>)

Given an estimator, return a wrapping object that will call a delegate once Fit(IDataView) is called. It is often important for an estimator to return information about what was fit, which is why the Fit(IDataView) method returns a specifically typed object, rather than just a general ITransformer. However, at the same time, IEstimator<TTransformer> are often formed into pipelines with many objects, so we may need to build a chain of estimators via EstimatorChain<TLastTransformer> where the estimator for which we want to get the transformer is buried somewhere in this chain. For that scenario, we can through this method attach a delegate that will be called once fit is called.
