ssr

An R package for semi-supervised regression.

The ssr package implements Co-training by Committee and self-learning semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms for regression. In semi-supervised learning, algorithms learn model’s parameters not only from labeled data but also from unlabeled data. In many applications, it is difficult, expensive, time-consuming, etc. to label data. Thus, semi-supervised methods learn by combining the limited labeled data points and the unlabeled data points.

The ssr package provides the following functionalities:

• Train Co-training by Committee models.
• Train self-learning models.
• Track and plot performance during training.
• Generate plots to quickly visualize the results.
• User can specify the base regressors to be used by the Co-training committee and self-learning from the caret package, other packages or custom functions.

Installation

You can install the ssr package from CRAN:

install.packages("ssr")

or you can install the development version from GitHub.

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("enriquegit/ssr")

Example

The following example shows how to train a Co-training Committee of two regressors: a linear model and a KNN.

library(ssr)

dataset <- friedman1 # Load friedman1 dataset.

set.seed(1234)

# Prepare de data
split1 <- split_train_test(dataset, pctTrain = 70)
split2 <- split_train_test(split1$trainset, pctTrain = 5)
L <- split2$trainset
U <- split2$testset[, -11] # Remove the labels.
testset <- split1$testset

# Define list of regressors.
regressors <- list(linearRegression=lm, knn=caret::knnreg)

# Fit the model.
model <- ssr("Ytrue ~ .", L, U, regressors = regressors, testdata = testset)

# Plot RMSE.
plot(model)

# Get the predictions on the testset.
predictions <- predict(model, testset)

# Calculate RMSE on the test set.
sqrt(mean((predictions - testset$Ytrue)^2))
