Iterative linear solvers (MATH-581) again

2011-07-06 Thread Sébastien Brisard
Good morning, my proposal for the implementation of linear iterative solvers (JIRA MATH-581) has raised some comments from Gilles and Luc, but I think no consensus has been reached on one issue raised by Gilles. Before submitting a new version of the corresponding classes, I'd like to make a new

Re: (MATH-607) Current Multiple Regression Object

2011-07-06 Thread Greg Sterijevski
At Ted's suggestion I looked at LSMR in mahout. In general, I have no complaints about the algorithm or how it is coded up. I have seen the algorithm in the PrimalDual solver that Micheal Saunders et al cooked up. I believe the solver is part of the COIN project. I have nothing but praises for it.

Re: (MATH-607) Current Multiple Regression Object

2011-07-06 Thread Ted Dunning
The other way that regression is done at scale is with a linear operator. This linear operator is often defined by the behavior of some external system that is not susceptible to incremental construction. A good example is a large text retrieval system. It would be useful to support that style

I agree that since we now have LEFT_SIDE, RIGHT_SIDE, ABOVE_SIDE, and BELOW_SIDE, it makes sense to rename it to ANY_SIDE. Previously, when we only had the first two, it made more sense to have EITHER_SIDE. Dennis Van: Gilles Sadowski

I see. Why would it be a good reason to commingle functionality? Aside from diagnostics like condition numbers and maybe eigenvalues, these approaches don't seem to share much commonality. I could be wrong since my knowledge of Mahout style problems is a bit spotty. On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 11:34

2011-07-06 Thread Ted Dunning
It isn't really necessary to commingle approaches at all. It is just nice to think about the alternatives at once to get better designs. It is conceivable that the interface you designed could be a facade over a lower level linear operator interface where that makes sense. If so, that is great.

Also, maybe we would like to add combinations of the four posibilities, to get LEFT_ABOVE_SIDE, RIGHT_ABOVE_SIDE, LEFT_BELOW_SIDE, and RIGHT_BELOW_SIDE? This would not only allow for splitting the solution on a single axis, but also on a combination of both axes. Dennis
