Detailed Description

Performs Multiple Linear Regression [WLIREG] on a set of data points \( (y_i, \vec{X}_i) \).

For each data point, \( y_i \) is the dependent (response) variable and \( \vec{X}_i \) is a \( M \)-dimensional vector containing the independent (explanatory) variables of the modeled function \( y = f(\vec{X}) \). It is assumed that the relationship between the dependent variables \( y_i \) and the independent variables \( \vec{X}_i \) can be modeled by a linear function of \( M \) parameters \( \beta_i, \, i = 1, 2, \ldots, M \) (regression coefficients) plus an error term \( \epsilon_i \):

[ y_i = \beta_1 x_{i1} + \beta_2 x_{i2} + \ldots + \beta_M x_{iM} + \epsilon_i ]

The parameters \( \beta_i \) are estimated by Least Squares Analysis [WLSQRS] which minimizes the sum of squared residuals \( \chi^2 \)

[ \chi^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{N} (y_i - f(\vec{X}_i, \vec{\beta}))^2 ]

of the given set of \( N \) data points with respect to the adjustable parameters \( \vec{\beta} \). The parameters \( \beta_i \) are computed using Singular Value Decomposition [WSVD] as implemented in [NRIC]. This method is computationally intensive, but is particularly useful if the \( X \) matrix is ill-conditioned.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ init()

None CDPL.Math.FMLRModel.__init__ ( FMLRModel model )

Initializes a copy of the FMLRModel instance model.

Parameters

model The FMLRModel instance to copy.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getObjectID()

int CDPL.Math.FMLRModel.getObjectID ( )

Returns the numeric identifier (ID) of the wrapped C++ class instance.

Different Python FMLRModel instances may reference the same underlying C++ class instance. The commonly used Python expression a is not b thus cannot tell reliably whether the two FMLRModel instances a and b reference different C++ objects. The numeric identifier returned by this method allows to correctly implement such an identity test via the simple expression a.getObjectID() != b.getObjectID().

Returns: The numeric ID of the internally referenced C++ class instance.

◆ assign()

FMLRModel CDPL.Math.FMLRModel.assign ( FMLRModel model )
