DB Tsai commented on SPARK-4907:
--------------------------------
[~sowen] It seems that the existing document has 1/2 factor there in the
formula.
> Inconsistent loss and gradient in LeastSquaresGradient compared with R

> Key: SPARK-4907
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4907
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: MLlib
> Reporter: DB Tsai
> Assignee: DB Tsai
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> In most of the academic paper and algorithm implementations, people use L =
> 1/2n ||A weights-y||^2 instead of L = 1/n ||A weights-y||^2 for least-squared
> loss. See Eq. (1) in http://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/Papers/glmnet.pdf
> Since MLlib uses different convention, this will result different residuals
> and all the stats properties will be different from GLMNET package in R. The
> model coefficients will be still the same under this change.
