Detailed Description

template::PredictionsType, typename WeightsType = typename MetaInfoExtractor::WeightsType>
class mlpack::cv::KFoldCV< MLAlgorithm, Metric, MatType, PredictionsType, WeightsType >

The class KFoldCV implements k-fold cross-validation for regression and classification algorithms.

To construct a KFoldCV object you need to pass the k parameter and arguments that specify data. For example, you can run 10-fold cross-validation for SoftmaxRegression in the following way.

// 100-point 5-dimensional random dataset.
arma::mat data = arma::randu(5, 100);
// Random labels in the [0, 4] interval.
arma::Row labels =
    arma::randi>(100, arma::distr_param(0, 4));
size_t numClasses = 5;

KFoldCV, Accuracy> cv(10, data, labels, numClasses);

double lambda = 0.1;
double softmaxAccuracy = cv.Evaluate(lambda);

Before calling Evaluate(), it is possible to shuffle the data by calling the Shuffle() function. Shuffling is performed at construction time if the parameter shuffle is set to true in the constructor.

Template Parameters

MLAlgorithm	A machine learning algorithm.
Metric	A metric to assess the quality of a trained model.
MatType	The type of data.
PredictionsType	The type of predictions (should be passed when the predictions type is a template parameter in Train methods of MLAlgorithm).
WeightsType	The type of weights (should be passed when weighted learning is supported, and the weights type is a template parameter in Train methods of MLAlgorithm).
