colf

This is a package dedicated to performing a least squares constrained optimization on a linear objective function. The functions minimize the same objective function as lm, applying a constraint on the beta parameters:

\[S(\beta) = \sum_{i=1}^m \vert y_i - \sum_{j=1}^nX_{ij}\beta_j \vert^2 = \Vert y - X\beta\Vert^2\]

And

\[\hat{\beta} = arg_\beta min \ S(\beta)\] under the constraints:

\[lower \le \hat{\beta} \le upper \]

The idea behind the package is to give the users a way to perform a constrained “linear regression” in an easy and intuitive way. The functions require a formula in the same syntax and format as lm which is a style most R users are familiar with.

So far the package includes two functions in order to perform the constrained optimization:

You can find more details about the two algorithms if you have a look at ?nls and ?nlxb respectively.

colf_nls

Now we will see how we can easily use the port algorithm to perform a constrained optimization. As you will see we are using colf_nls in the same way we would use lm with the addition of upper and lower bounds for our parameter estimates.

We will use the mtcars data set for a demonstration. Let’s load the package and use mtcars to run a constrained least squares optimization model.

In the model below we use 4 variables to model mpg which means we will have 5 parameter estimates (don’t forget the Intercept). Parameters are prefixed with param_ in the model’s output. We set the lower bounds of those 4 parameter estimates to -2 and the upper bounds to 2 (obviously they do not need to be the same). Ideally, starting values should be provided. If omitted a cheap guess will be made, which is basically setting all starting values to 1. If the staring values do not fall within the boundaries defined by lower and upper then an error will be returned and you would need to manually change the starting values via the start argument.

Usage

library(colf)
mymod <- colf_nls(mpg ~ cyl + disp + hp + qsec, mtcars, lower = rep(-2, 5), upper = rep(2, 5))
mymod
## Nonlinear regression model
##   model: mpg ~ param_X.Intercept. * X.Intercept. + param_cyl * cyl + param_disp *     disp + param_hp * hp + param_qsec * qsec
##    data: model_ingredients$model_data
## param_X.Intercept.          param_cyl         param_disp 
##             2.0000             0.2394            -0.0387 
##           param_hp         param_qsec 
##             0.0103             1.3391 
##  residual sum-of-squares: 418
## 
## Algorithm "port", convergence message: both X-convergence and relative convergence (5)

As you can see all 5 parameter estimates fall within the defined boundaries. The above provided formula includes the Intercept. In the output, X.Intercept is a variable set to 1 and param_X.Intercept is the estimated intercept.

If starting values do not fall within the boundaries an error will be returned. As said previously if not provided they will be set to 1.

colf_nls(mpg ~ cyl + disp + hp + qsec, mtcars, lower = rep(-2, 5), upper = rep(0.5, 5))
## Error in nls(model_ingredients$model_formula, data = model_ingredients$model_data, : Convergence failure: initial par violates constraints

So, then they need to be set by the user:

colf_nls(mpg ~ cyl + disp + hp + qsec, mtcars, lower = rep(-2, 5), upper = rep(0.5, 5), 
         start = rep(0, 5))
## Nonlinear regression model
##   model: mpg ~ param_X.Intercept. * X.Intercept. + param_cyl * cyl + param_disp *     disp + param_hp * hp + param_qsec * qsec
##    data: model_ingredients$model_data
## param_X.Intercept.          param_cyl         param_disp 
##             0.5000             0.5000            -0.0254 
##           param_hp         param_qsec 
##             0.0697             0.5000 
##  residual sum-of-squares: 2238
## 
## Algorithm "port", convergence message: both X-convergence and relative convergence (5)

Notice that when the above versions are used, the parameter names are created with the use of make.names in order to be syntactically valid (otherwise the optimizers fail). This is why you see an ‘X.’ in front of the intercept or too many dots in the names.

Predict and rest of Methods

colf provides a number of methods for colf objects:

In order to use the parameter estimates to make predictions on a new data set you need to remember two really important checks:

If any of the two is not valid, predict will fail.

set.seed(10)
newdata <- data.frame(hp = mtcars$hp, cyl = mtcars$cyl, disp = mtcars$disp, qsec = mtcars$qsec)
predict(mymod, newdata)
##      1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9     10 
## 20.426 21.176 24.663 20.627 14.591 22.896 13.734 24.707 29.160 22.731 
##     11     12     13     14     15     16     17     18     19     20 
## 23.534 18.408 18.676 19.212 11.855 12.208 12.601 26.669 25.368 27.528 
##     21     22     23     24     25     26     27     28     29     30 
## 26.111 15.757 16.874 13.545 13.084 25.894 21.608 23.078 12.484 20.392 
##     31     32 
## 15.285 24.312

But if I change any of the names or classes predict will fail

#change column name
newdata2 <- newdata
names(newdata2)[1] <- 'col1'
predict(mymod, newdata2)
## Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos): object 'hp' not found
#change column class
newdata2 <- newdata
newdata2$cyl <- as.character(newdata2$cyl)  
predict(mymod, newdata2)
## Error in value[[3L]](cond): newdata column classes need to be the same as original data

The rest of the colf_nls methods are demonstrated below:

You need to be careful when using summary because it returns p-values. By default nls and nlxb both return p-values for the coefficients, which were naturally passed on to colf. When running an unconstrained regression the p-values show us how likely it is for the estimate to be zero. In constrained regression though this may not even hold if you think that a restriction (and actually a common one) is to force the coefficients to be positive. In such a case the hypothesis test does not hold at all since we have restricted the coefficients to be positive. In constrained regression other assumptions that we make in unconstrained regression do not hold either (like the coefficients’ distribution) so the use and interpretation of the p-values can be problematic when we set lower and/or upper.

As with colf_nls, in colf_nlxb keeping names and classes the same is vital:

#change column name
newdata2 <- newdata
names(newdata2)[1] <- 'col1'
predict(mymod, newdata2)
## Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos): object 'hp' not found
#change column class
newdata2 <- newdata
newdata2$cyl <- as.character(newdata2$cyl)  
predict(mymod, newdata2)
## Error in value[[3L]](cond): newdata column classes need to be the same as original data

Rest of methods provided:

Please make sure you read the section about the interpretation of the p-values at colf_nls when running a constrained regression. The same principles described there hold for colf_nlxb.
