hSolver: Huber Loss Function

Description

Solver for Huber's robust loss function.

Usage

hSolver(z, a, extra)

Value

x

Vector containing the fitted values

lbd

Vector with Lagrange multipliers

f

Value of the target function

gx

Gradient at point x

Arguments

z

Vector containing observed response

a

Matrix with active constraints

extra

List with element y containing the observed response vector and weights with optional observation weights, and eps

Details

This function is called internally in activeSet by setting mySolver = hSolver.

Run this code

##Fitting isotone regression using active set
set.seed(12345)
y <- rnorm(9)              ##response values
w <- rep(1,9)              ##unit weights
eps <- 0.01
btota <- cbind(1:8, 2:9)   ##Matrix defining isotonicity (total order)
fit.huber <- activeSet(btota, hSolver, weights = w, y = y, eps = eps)
