WellSVM: WellSVM for Semi-supervised Learning

Description

WellSVM is a minimax relaxation of the mixed integer programming problem of finding the optimal labels for the unlabeled data in the SVM objective function. This implementation is a translation of the Matlab implementation of Li (2013) into R.

Usage

WellSVM(X, y, X_u, C1 = 1, C2 = 0.1, gamma = 1, x_center = TRUE,
  scale = FALSE, use_Xu_for_scaling = FALSE, max_iter = 20)

Arguments

X

matrix; Design matrix for labeled data

y

factor or integer vector; Label vector

X_u

matrix; Design matrix for unlabeled data

C1

double; A regularization parameter for labeled data, default 1;

C2

double; A regularization parameter for unlabeled data, default 0.1;

gamma

double; Gaussian kernel parameter, i.e., k(x,y) = exp(-gamma^2||x-y||^2/avg) where avg is the average distance among instances; when gamma = 0, linear kernel is used. default gamma = 1;

x_center

logical; Should the features be centered?

scale

logical; Should the features be normalized? (default: FALSE)

use_Xu_for_scaling

logical; whether the unlabeled objects should be used to determine the mean and scaling for the normalization

max_iter

integer; Maximum number of iterations
