Generalized iterative scaling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Improved iterative scaling)

In statistics, generalized iterative scaling (GIS) and improved iterative scaling (IIS) are two early algorithms used to fit log-linear models,[1] notably multinomial logistic regression (MaxEnt) classifiers and extensions of it such as MaxEnt Markov models[2] and conditional random fields. These algorithms have been largely surpassed by gradient-based methods such as L-BFGS[3] and coordinate descent algorithms.[4]
