Vector Linear Regression - Multi Label

Hello,
I'm trying to built a vector linear regression model with multiple label attributes, but I'm finding difficulties with the special role setup.

I read the vector linear regression description and from the below I understand that all labels must be named in its special role as something like "label_1", "label_2" and so on.

****The attributes forming the vector should be marked as special, the special role names of all label attributes should start with 'label'.*****

I'm sure that this must be easy, but whatever I've tried doesn't work.

Enclosed the example process and the data

Can you please shed some light on this?

Thanks

Hi @Oprick,

Try setting the role of the first label just to "label", the remainder ones to "label_2", "label_3", and so on. See attached process. This should work.

Hope this helps,

Tobias

hi @Oprick no you need to only label one target at a time.

Hi @sgenzer,
when in VLR operator's description says (see below) I have to confess that the plural on word label lead me to believe that this operator was capable of dealing with multi-label problems.

Can you please clarify that?

"It regresses all regular attributes upon a vector of labels. The attributes forming the vector should be marked as special, the special role names of all label attributes should start with 'label'."

Thanks,
Pedro

hi @Oprick in all honesty I have never used that operator in 6+ years of using the software. Never even seen it before. Looking at the tutorial it seems to function like the other learners but I do see what you're saying. I just opened up the source code on GitHub and it looks like our good friend @TobiasMalbrecht was the author back in the day. Maybe he has some insight...

If you want multi-label modeling, I'd just use the multi-labeling modeling operator in the Ensembles folder. Open the tutorial and you will see how it works on Titanic.

Hi @sgenzer, thanks for you help and pulling the Tobias into the thread.
I'm aware of multi-label indeed, but I have to say that I'm particular curious of this supposed capabilities of VLR.

Again thanks for your help,
Pedro

fair enough @Oprick. You will have to wait for the maestro @TobiasMalbrecht to get back from vacation

Hello
@sgenzer and @TobiasMalbrecht thank you very much to both of you.
