------------------------------
Assignee: DB Tsai (was: holdenk)
> Disable feature scaling in Linear and Logistic Regression
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-8522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8522
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: ML
> Reporter: DB Tsai
> Assignee: DB Tsai
> Fix For: 1.5.0
>
>
> All compressed sensing applications, and some of the regression use-cases
> will have better result by turning the feature scaling off. However, if we
> implement this naively by training the dataset without doing any
> standardization, the rate of convergency will not be good. This can be
> implemented by still standardizing the training dataset but we penalize each
> component differently to get effectively the same objective function but a
> better numerical problem. As a result, for those columns with high variances,
> they will be penalized less, and vice versa. Without this, since all the
> features are standardized, so they will be penalized the same.
> In R, there is an option for this.
> `standardize`
> Logical flag for x variable standardization, prior to fitting the model
> sequence. The coefficients are always returned on the original scale. Default
> is standardize=TRUE. If variables are in the same units already, you might
> not wish to standardize. See details below for y standardization with
> family="gaussian".
