probability or statistics - Multinomial logistic regression


Has anyone done multinomial logistic regression in Mathematica?


The binomial case is essentially done on the LogitModelFit documentation page and works fine.


I am following this formulation to obtain the outcome probabilities for k classes with k-1 calls to LogitModelFit.


I am getting normalized probabilities out, but they depend on how the classes are encoded for each independent regression. I can post what I have on request but it's a lot of code for something that isn't working.


Either multiple-binary or true multinomial would be fine for my purposes, but bonus for both implementations.



Answer



Multiple-Binary Approach


Lets bring out the famous iris data set to set this up and split it into 80% training and 20% testing data to be used in fitting the model.


iris = ExampleData[{"Statistics", "FisherIris"}];

n = Length[iris]

rs = RandomSample[Range[n]];
cut = Ceiling[.8 n];
train = iris[[rs[[1 ;; cut]]]];
test = iris[[rs[[cut + 1 ;;]]]];

speciesList = Union[iris[[All,-1]]];

First we need to run a separate regression for each species of iris. I'm creating an encoder for the response for this purpose which gives 1 if the response matches a particular species and 0 otherwise.



encodeResponse[data_, species_] := Block[{resp},
  resp = data[[All, -1]];
  Join[data[[All, 1 ;; -2]]\[Transpose], {Boole[# === species] & /@ 
      resp}]\[Transpose]
  ]

Now we fit a model for each of the three species using this encoded training data.


logmods = 
  Table[LogitModelFit[encodeResponse[train, i], Array[x, 4], 
    Array[x, 4]], {i, speciesList}];


Each model can be used to estimate a probability that a particular set of features yields its class. For classification, we simply let them all "vote" and pick the category with highest probability.


mlogitClassify[mods_, speciesList_][x_] :=
 Block[{p},
  p = #[Sequence @@ x] & /@ mods;
  speciesList[[Ordering[p, -1][[1]]]]
  ]

So how well did this perform? In this case we get 14 out of 15 correct on the testing data (pretty good!).


class = mlogitClassify[logmods, speciesList][#] & /@ test[[All, 1 ;; -2]];


Mean[Boole[Equal @@@ Thread[{class, test[[All, -1]]}]]]

(* 14/15 *)

It is interesting to see what this classifier actually does visually. To do so, I'll reduce the number of variables to 2.


logmods2 = 
  Table[LogitModelFit[encodeResponse[train[[All, {3, 4, 5}]], i], 
    Array[x, 2], Array[x, 2]], {i, speciesList}];


Show[Table[
  RegionPlot[
   mlogitClassify[logmods2, speciesList][{x1, x2}] === i, {x1, .5, 
    7}, {x2, 0, 2.5}, 
   PlotStyle -> 
    Directive[Opacity[.25], 
     Switch[i, "setosa", Red, "virginica", Green, "versicolor", 
      Blue]]], {i, {"setosa", "virginica", "versicolor"}}], 
 ListPlot[Table[
   Tooltip[Pick[iris[[All, {3, 4}]], iris[[All, -1]], i], 

    i], {i, {"setosa", "virginica", "versicolor"}}], 
  PlotStyle -> {Red, Darker[Green], Blue}]]

The decision boundaries are more interesting if we allow more flexibility in the basis functions. Here I allow all of the possible quadratic terms.


logmods2 = 
  Table[LogitModelFit[
    encodeResponse[train[[All, {3, 4, 5}]], i], {1, x[1], x[2], 
     x[1]^2, x[2]^2, x[1] x[2]}, Array[x, 2]], {i, speciesList}];


Show[Table[
  RegionPlot[
   mlogitClassify[logmods2, speciesList][{x1, x2}] === i, {x1, .5, 
    7}, {x2, 0, 2.5}, 
   PlotStyle -> 
    Directive[Opacity[.25], 
     Switch[i, "setosa", Red, "virginica", Green, "versicolor", 
      Blue]], PlotPoints -> 100], {i, {"setosa", "virginica", 
    "versicolor"}}], 
 ListPlot[Table[

   Tooltip[Pick[iris[[All, {3, 4}]], iris[[All, -1]], i], 
    i], {i, {"setosa", "virginica", "versicolor"}}], 
  PlotStyle -> {Red, Darker[Green], Blue}]]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
