DESCRIPTION

This class represents a classifier or an estimated function generated as a return value of Algorithm::LibLinear's train method.

If you have model files generated by LIBLINEAR's train command or this class's save method, you can load them.

METHOD

Note that the constructor new is not a part of public API. You can get a instance via Algorithm::LibLinaear->train. i.e., Algorithm::LibLinear is a factory class.

load(filename => $path)

Class method. Loads a LIBLINEAR's model file and returns an instance of this class.

bias([$index])

Returns value of the bias term corresponding to the $index-th class. In case of one-class SVM (i.e., when is_oneclass_model is true,) the $index is ignored.

Recall that a trained model can be represented as a function f(x) = W^t x + b, where W is a F x C matrix, b is a C-sized vector and C and F are the numbers of classes and features, respectively. This method returns b($index) in this notation.

Note that $index is 1-based, unlike LIBLINEAR's get_decfun_bias() function.

class_labels

Returns an ArrayRef of class labels, each of them could be returned by predict and predict_values.

coefficient($feature_index, $label_index)

Returns value of the coefficient of classifier matrix. i.e., W($feature_index, $label_index) (see bias method description above.)

Be careful that both indices are 1-based just same as bias.

is_oneclass_model

Returns true if the model is trained for one-class SVM, false otherwise.

is_probability_model

Returns true if the model is trained for logistic regression, false otherwise.

is_regression_model

Returns true if the model is trained for support vector regression (SVR), false otherwise.

num_classes

The number of class labels.

num_features

The number of features contained in training set.

predict(feature => $hashref)

In case of classification, returns predicted class label.

In case of regression, returns value of estimated function given feature.

predict_probabilities(feature => $hashref)

Returns an ArrayRef of probabilities of the feature belonging to corresponding class.

This method will raise an error if the model is not a classifier based on logistic regression (i.e., not $classifier->is_probability_model.)

predict_values(feature => $hashref)

Returns an ArrayRef of decision values of each class (higher is better).

save(filename => $path)

Writes the model out as a LIBLINEAR model file.
