sgd is an R package for large scale estimation. It features many stochastic gradient methods, built-in models, visualization tools, automated hyperparameter tuning, model checking, interval estimation, and convergence diagnostics.
At the core of the package is the function
sgd(formula, data, model, model.control, sgd.control)
It estimates parameters for a given data set and model using stochastic gradient descent. The optional arguments model.control and sgd.control specify attributes about the model and stochastic gradient method. Taking advantage of the bigmemory package, sgd also operates on data sets which are too large to fit in RAM as well as streaming data.
Example of large-scale linear regression:
library(sgd)
# Dimensions
N <- 1e5 # number of data points
d <- 1e2 # number of features
# Generate data.
X <- matrix(rnorm(N*d), ncol=d)
theta <- rep(5, d+1)
eps <- rnorm(N)
y <- cbind(1, X) %*% theta + eps
dat <- data.frame(y=y, x=X)
sgd.theta <- sgd(y ~ ., data=dat, model="lm")
Any loss function may be specified. For convenience the following are built-in:
The following stochastic gradient methods exist:
