revrand.basis_functions.BiasBasis

class revrand.basis_functions.BiasBasis(offset=1.0, regularizer=None)

Bias Basis for adding a bias term to a regressor.

This just returns a column of a constant value so a bias term can be learned by a regressor.

\[\phi(\mathbf{X}) = \mathbf{1} \times \text{const}\]
Parameters:
  • offset (float, optional) – A scalar value to give the bias column. By default this is one.
  • regularizer (None, Parameter, optional) – The (initial) value of the regularizer/prior variance to apply to the regression weights of this basis function. The Parameter object must have a scalar value. If it is not set, it will take on a default value of Parameter(gamma(1.), Positive()).
__init__(offset=1.0, regularizer=None)

See this class’s docstring.
