Description

The IncrementalClassificationECOC Fit block fits a configured incremental error-correcting output codes (ECOC) classification model (incrementalClassificationECOC) for multiclass classification to streaming data.

Import an initial ECOC classification object into the block by specifying the name of a workspace variable that contains the object. The input port x receives a chunk of predictor data (observations), and the input port y receives a chunk of responses (labels) to which the model is fit. The output port returns an updated incrementalClassificationECOC model mdl. The optional input port w receives a chunk of observation weights.

Ports

Input

expand all

Chunk of predictor data to which the model is fit, specified as a numeric matrix. The orientation of the variables and observations is specified by Predictor data observation dimension. The default orientation is rows, which indicates that the observations in the predictor data are oriented along the rows of x.

The length of the observation responses y and the number of observations in x must be equal; y(j) is the response of observation j (row or column) in x.

Note

The number of predictor variables in x must be equal to the NumPredictors property value of the initial model. If the number of predictor variables in the streaming data changes from NumPredictors, the block issues an error.

Data Types: single | double | half | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point

Chunk of class labels to which the model is trained, specified as a numeric, logical, or enumerated vector.

  • The length of the observation responses y and the number of observations in x must be equal; y(j) is the response of observation j (row or column) in x.

  • Each label must correspond to one row of the array.

Data Types: single | double | half | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated

Chunk of observation weights, specified as a vector of positive values. The IncrementalClassificationECOC Fit block weights the observations in x with the corresponding values in w. The size of w must be equal to the number of observations in x.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the check box for Add input port for observation weights on the Main tab of the Block Parameters dialog box.

Parameters

Main

Specify the name of a workspace variable that contains the configured incrementalClassificationECOC model object. The NumPredictors property of the initial model must be a positive integer scalar, and must be equal to the number of predictors in x.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: InitialLearner
Type: workspace variable
Values: incrementalClassificationECOC model object
Default: "ecocMdl"

Select the check box to include the input port w for observation weights in the IncrementalClassificationECOC Fit block.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: ShowInputWeights
Type: character vector
Values: "off" | "on"
Default: "off"

Specify the observation dimension of the predictor data. The default value is rows, which indicates that observations in the predictor data are oriented along the rows of x.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: ObservationsIn
Type: character vector
Values: "rows" | "columns"
Default: "rows"

Specify the discrete interval between sample time hits or specify another type of sample time, such as continuous (0) or inherited (–1). For more options, see Types of Sample Time (Simulink).

By default, the IncrementalClassificationECOC Fit block inherits sample time based on the context of the block within the model.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: SystemSampleTime
Type: string scalar or character vector
Values: scalar
Default: "–1"

Data Types

Fixed-Point Operational Parameters

Specify the rounding mode for fixed-point operations. For more information, see Rounding Modes (Fixed-Point Designer).

Block parameters always round to the nearest representable value. To control the rounding of a block parameter, enter an expression into the mask field using a MATLAB® rounding function.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: RndMeth
Type: character vector
Values: "Ceiling" | "Convergent" | "Floor" | "Nearest" | "Round" | "Simplest" | "Zero"
Default: "Floor"

Specify whether overflows saturate or wrap.

ActionRationaleImpact on OverflowsExample

Select this check box (on).

Your model has possible overflow, and you want explicit saturation protection in the generated code.

Overflows saturate to either the minimum or maximum value that the data type can represent.

The maximum value that the int8 (signed 8-bit integer) data type can represent is 127. Any block operation result greater than this maximum value causes overflow of the 8-bit integer. With the check box selected, the block output saturates at 127. Similarly, the block output saturates at a minimum output value of –128.

Clear this check box (off).

You want to optimize the efficiency of your generated code.

You want to avoid overspecifying how a block handles out-of-range signals. For more information, see Troubleshoot Signal Range Errors (Simulink).

Overflows wrap to the appropriate value that the data type can represent.

The maximum value that the int8 (signed 8-bit integer) data type can represent is 127. Any block operation result greater than this maximum value causes overflow of the 8-bit integer. With the check box cleared, the software interprets the value causing the overflow as int8, which can produce an unintended result. For example, a block result of 130 (binary 1000 0010) expressed as int8 is –126.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: SaturateOnIntegerOverflow
Type: character vector
Values: "off" | "on"

Select this parameter to prevent the fixed-point tools from overriding the data type you specify for the block. For more information, see Use Lock Output Data Type Setting (Fixed-Point Designer).
