Xiangrui Meng created SPARK-7753: ------------------------------------ Summary: Improve kernel density API Key: SPARK-7753 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7753 Project: Spark Issue Type: Sub-task Components: MLlib Affects Versions: 1.4.0 Reporter: Xiangrui Meng Assignee: Xiangrui Meng
Kernel density estimation is provided in many statistics libraries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation#Statistical_implementation. We should make sure that we implement a similar API. The two most important parameters of kernel density estimation are kernel type and bandwidth. Besides density estimation, it is also used for smoothing. The current API is designed only for Gaussian kernel and density estimation: {code} def kernelDensity(samples: RDD[Double], standardDeviation: Double, evaluationPoints: Iterable[Double]): Array[Double] {code} It would be nice if we can come up with an extensible API. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
