Detailed Description

Naive Regression.

Data are modeled as $ y_i = \alpha + \epsilon_i $


Member Function Documentation

void theplu::yat::regression::Naive::fit ( const utility::VectorBase x,
const utility::VectorBase y 
) [virtual]

This function computes the best-fit for the naive model $ y /// = m $ from vectors x and y, by minimizing $ /// \sum{(y_i-m)^2} $.

Implements theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional.

double theplu::yat::regression::Naive::predict ( const double  x  )  const [virtual]

The predicted value is the average $ m $

Implements theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional.

double theplu::yat::regression::Naive::s2 ( void   )  const [virtual]

$ \frac{\sum \epsilon_i^2}{N-1} $

Returns:
Conditional variance

Implements theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional.

double theplu::yat::regression::Naive::standard_error2 ( const double  x  )  const [virtual]

$ \frac{s^2}{N} $

Returns:
squared standard error
See also:
statistics::Averager

Implements theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional.

double theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional::chisq ( void   )  const [inherited]

Chi-squared.

Chi-squared is defined as the $ \sum{(\hat{y_i}-y_i)^2} $

double theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional::prediction_error2 ( const double  x  )  const [inherited]

The prediction error is defined as the expected squared deviation a new data point will have from value the model provides: $ E(Y|x - \hat{y}(x))^2 $ and is typically divided into the conditional variance ( see s2() ) given $ x $ and the squared standard error ( see standard_error2() ) of the model estimation in $ x $.

Returns:
expected squared prediction error for a new data point in x

std::ostream& theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional::print ( std::ostream &  os,
const double  min,
double  max,
const unsigned int  n 
) const [inherited]

print output to ostream os

Printing estimated model to os in the points defined by min, max, and n. The values printed for each point is the x-value, the estimated y-value, and the estimated standard deviation of a new data poiunt will have from the y-value given the x-value (see prediction_error()).

Parameters:
os Ostream printout is sent to
n number of points printed
min smallest x-value for which the model is printed
max largest x-value for which the model is printed

double theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional::r2 ( void   )  const [inherited]

r2 is defined as $ 1 - \frac{Var(Y|x)}{Var(Y)} $ or the fraction of the variance explained by the regression model.

s2()

double theplu::yat::regression::OneDimensional::variance ( void   )  const [protected, inherited]

Variance of y
