TMtxLogistReg.B Property

TVec B { get; set; }

B coefficients estimates.

Result: stored in self (calling object), returns self for chaining

Remarks:

Defines the logistic regression B coefficients. Suppose y takes values in k ordered categories, and let p_ij be the cumulative probability that y(i) falls in the j'th category or higher. Ordinal logistic regression model is defined as:

logit(p_ij) = theta(j) + A_i'B , i = 1,..,length(Y), j = 1,..,k-1,

where A_i is the i'th row of A . The number of ordinal categories k is taken to be the number of distinct values of int(y). If k is 2 the model is ordinary logistic regression.

Set B values to define initial estimates for B coefficients. Setting B values is not mandatory. You can also set Dew.Stats.TMtxLogistReg.AutoInitEstimates to true and force the algorithm to calculate initial estimates for Dew.Stats.TMtxLogistReg.B and Dew.Stats.TMtxLogistReg.Theta. After the Dew.Stats.TMtxLogistReg.Recalc call B stores logistic regression model B coefficient estimates.
