- public class Logistic
- extends DistributionClassifier
- implements OptionHandler
Class for building and using a two-class logistic regression model
with a ridge estimator.
This class utilizes globally convergent Newtons Method adapted from
Numerical Recipies in C.
Reference: le Cessie, S. and van Houwelingen, J.C. (1997).
Ridge Estimators in Logistic Regression. Applied Statistics,
Vol. 41, No. 1, pp. 191-201.
Missing values are replaced using a ReplaceMissingValuesFilter, and
nominal attributes are transformed into numeric attributes using a
NominalToBinaryFilter.
Valid options are:
-D
Turn on debugging output.

- an enumeration of all the available options
setOptions
public void setOptions(String options[]) throws Exception
- Parses a given list of options. Valid options are:
-D
Turn on debugging output.
- Parameters:
- options - the list of options as an array of strings

- if an option is not supported
getOptions
public String[] getOptions()
- Gets the current settings of the classifier.
- Returns:
- an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions
setDebug
public void setDebug(boolean debug)
- Sets whether debugging output will be printed.
- Parameters:
- debug - true if debugging output should be printed
getDebug
public boolean getDebug()

- if the distribution can't be computed successfully
- Overrides:
- distributionForInstance in class DistributionClassifier
toString
public String toString()
- Gets a string describing the classifier.
- Returns:
- a string describing the classifer built.
- Overrides:
- toString in class Object
main
public static void main(String argv[])
