SYNOPSIS

mlpack_softmax_regression [-h] [-v] [-m string] [-l string] [-r double] [-n int] [-N] [-c int] [-M string] [-p string] [-T string] [-L string] [-t string] -V

DESCRIPTION

This program performs softmax regression, a generalization of logistic regression to the
multiclass case, and has support for L2 regularization. The program is able to train a
model, load an existing model, and give predictions (and optionally their accuracy) for
test data.

Training a softmax regression model is done by giving a file of training points with
--training_file (-t) and their corresponding labels with --labels_file (-l). The number of
classes can be manually specified with the --number_of_classes (-n) option, and the
maximum number of iterations of the L-BFGS optimizer can be specified with the
--max_iterations (-M) option. The L2 regularization constant can be specified with
--lambda (-r), and if an intercept term is not desired in the model, the --no_intercept
(-N) can be specified.

The trained model can be saved to a file with the --output_model (-m) option. If training
is not desired, but only testing is, a model can be loaded with the --input_model (-i)
option. At the current time, a loaded model cannot be trained further, so specifying both
-i and -t is not allowed.

The program is also able to evaluate a model on test data. A test dataset can be specified
with the --test_data (-T) option. Class predictions will be saved in the file specified
with the --predictions_file (-p) option. If labels are specified for the test data, with
the --test_labels (-L) option, then the program will print the accuracy of the predictions
on the given test set and its corresponding labels.

OPTIONS

--help (-h)
Default help info.

--info [string]
Get help on a specific module or option. Default value ''. --input_model_file
(-m) [string] File containing existing model (parameters). Default value ''.

--labels_file (-l) [string]
A file containing labels (0 or 1) for the points in the training set (y). The
labels must order as a row Default value ''.

of classes for classification; if unspecified (or 0), the number of classes found
in the labels will be used. Default value 0. --output_model_file (-M) [string]
File to save trained softmax regression model to. Default value ''.

--verbose (-v)
Display informational messages and the full list of parameters and timers at the
end of execution.

--version (-V)
