Benchmark Problem Friedman 2
The regression problem Friedman 2 as described in Friedman (1991) and Breiman (1996). Inputs are 4 independent variables uniformly distrtibuted over the ranges
0 ≤ x1 ≤ 100
40 π ≤ x2 ≤ 560 π
0 ≤ x3 ≤ 1
1 ≤ x4 ≤ 11
The outputs are created according to the formula
y = (x1^2 + (x2 x3 - (1/(x2 x4)))^2)^{0.5} + e
where e is N(0,sd).

n |
number of patterns to create |
sd |
Standard deviation of noise. The default value of 125 gives a signal to noise ratio (i.e., the ratio of the standard deviations) of 3:1. Thus, the variance of the function itself (without noise) accounts for 90% of the total variance. |
Returns a list with components
x |
input values (independent variables) |
y |
output values (dependent variable) |
