Jordi created SPARK-23537: ----------------------------- Summary: Logistic Regression without standardization Key: SPARK-23537 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23537 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: ML, Optimizer Affects Versions: 2.2.1 Reporter: Jordi
I'm trying to train a Logistic Regression model, using Spark 2.2.1. I prefer to not use standardization since all my features are binary. I trained two models to compare results, I've been expecting to end with two similar models since it seems that internally the optimizer performs standardization and "de-standardization" (when it's deactivated) in order to improve the convergence. Here you have the code I used: {code} val lr = new org.apache.spark.ml.classification.LogisticRegression() .setRegParam(0.05) .setElasticNetParam(0.0) .setFitIntercept(true) .setMaxIter(5000) .setStandardization(false) val model = lr.fit(data) {code} The results are disturbing me, I end with two quite different models. Standardization: Training time: 8min.
