IsotonicRegression

class pyspark.mllib.regression.IsotonicRegression[source]

Isotonic regression. Currently implemented using parallelized pool adjacent violators algorithm. Only univariate (single feature) algorithm supported.

New in version 1.4.0.

Notes

Sequential PAV implementation based on Tibshirani, Ryan J., Holger Hoefling, and Robert Tibshirani (2011) [1]

Sequential PAV parallelization based on Kearsley, Anthony J., Richard A. Tapia, and Michael W. Trosset (1996) [2]
