IncrementalClassificationLinear Fit

Fit incremental linear binary classification model

Since R2023b

• 

Libraries:
Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox / Incremental Learning / Classification / Linear

Description

The IncrementalClassificationLinear Fit block fits a configured incremental model for linear binary classification (incrementalClassificationLinear) to streaming data.

Import an initial linear classification model 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 mdl returns an updated incrementalClassificationLinear model. The optional input port w receives a chunk of observation weights and the optional input port reset resets the learned parameters.

Ports

Input

x — Chunk of predictor data

numeric matrix

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.

The following restrictions apply:

• 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.

• The IncrementalClassificationLinear Fit block supports only numeric input predictor data. If your input data includes categorical data, you must prepare an encoded version of the categorical data. Use dummyvar to convert each categorical variable to a numeric matrix of dummy variables. Then, concatenate all dummy variable matrices and any other numeric predictors. For more details, see Dummy Variables.

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

y — Chunk of class labels

numeric vector | logical vector | enumerated vector

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

• The IncrementalClassificationLinear Fit block supports only binary classification.

• 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 observation matrix.

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

w — Chunk of observation weights

vector of positive values

Chunk of observation weights, specified as a vector of positive values. The IncrementalClassificationLinear 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.

Data Types: single | double

reset — Reset signal

0 (false) | 1 (true) | numeric scalar

Since R2025a

Reset signal, specified as 0 (false) or 1 (true) or a numeric scalar. When the reset signal is a positive scalar (greater than 0), the block resets the learned parameters, if any, of the incremental learning model. If any hyperparameters of mdl are estimated during incremental training, those get reset as well. mdl.NumPredictors are always preserved.

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

Output

mdl — Updated incremental learning model parameters

bus signal

Updated parameters of the incremental learning model fit to streaming data (including Beta and Bias), returned as a bus signal (see Composite Signals (Simulink)).

Parameters

Main

Select initial machine learning model — Initial incremental linear classification model

linearMdl (default) | incrementalClassificationLinear model object

Specify the name of a workspace variable that contains the configured incrementalClassificationLinear model object.

The following restrictions apply:

• The predictor data cannot include categorical predictors (logical, categorical, char, string, or cell). If you supply training data in a table, the predictors must be numeric (double or single). To include categorical predictors in a model, preprocess them by using dummyvar before fitting the model.

• The ScoreTransform property of the initial model cannot be "invlogit" or an anonymous function.

• The NumPredictors property of the initial model must be a positive integer scalar, and must be equal to the number of predictors in x.

• Before R2024a: the Solver property of the initial model must be "scale-invariant".

Saturate on integer overflow — Method of overflow action

off (default) | on

Specify whether overflows saturate or wrap.

Action	Rationale	Impact on Overflows	Example
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.

Version History

Introduced in R2023b

R2025a: New reset inport

The IncrementalClassificationLinear Fit has a new reset inport that allows the resetting of the learned parameters, if any, of the incremental learning model. If any hyperparameters of the model are estimated during incremental training, those get reset as well. Use the reset signal when performing drift-aware learning to reset the model parameters when drift is detected.

R2024a: Incremental linear blocks support additional solvers

The IncrementalClassificationLinear Fit block now additionally supports initial machine learning models where Solver is "sgd" or "asgd".
