Solve as piecewise logit problem, categorical target.

Source: R/segmented_variable.R

Return a vector of length y that is a piecewise function of x. This vector is picked as close to y (by square-distance) as possible for a set of x-only determined cut-points. Cross-validates for a good number of segments.

solve_piecewisec(varName, x, y, w = NULL)

Arguments

varName

character, name of variable
x

numeric input (not empty, no NAs).
y

numeric or castable to such (same length as x no NAs), output to match
w

numeric positive, same length as x (weights, can be NULL)

Value

segmented y prediction
