+</div><p>A correlation function is the degree and direction of association of 
two variables&mdash;how well one random variable can be predicted from the 
other. The coefficient of correlation varies from -1 to 1. A coefficient of 1 
implies perfect correlation, 0 means no correlation, and -1 means perfect 
anti-correlation.</p>
+<p>This function provides a cross-correlation matrix for all pairs of numeric 
columns in a <em>source_table</em>. A correlation matrix describes correlation 
among \( M \) variables. It is a square symmetrical \( M \)x \(M \) matrix with 
the \( (ij) \)th element equal to the correlation coefficient between the 
\(i\)th and the \(j\)th variable. The diagonal elements (correlations of 
variables with themselves) are always equal to 1.0.</p>

+<p>Null values will be replaced by the mean of their respective columns (Mean 
imputation/substitution). Mean imputation is a method in which the missing 
value on a certain variable is replaced by the mean of the available cases. 
This method maintains the sample size and is easy to use, but the variability 
in the data is reduced, so the standard deviations and the variance estimates 
tend to be underestimated. Please refer to [1] and [2] for details.</p>
+<p>If the mean imputation method is not suitable for the target use case, it 
is advised to employ a view that handles the NULL values prior to calling the 
correlation/covariance functions.</p>

+<ul>
+<li>max_iter &mdash; The maximum number of iterations. The computation stops 
if the number of iterations exceeds this, which usually means that there is no 
convergence.</li>
+<li>optimizer &mdash; The optimization method. Right now, "newton" is the only 
one supported.</li>
+<li>tolerance &mdash; The stopping criteria. When the difference between the 
log-likelihoods of two consecutive iterations is smaller than this number, the 
computation has already converged and stops.</li>
+<li>array_agg_size &mdash; To speed up the computation, the original data 
table is cut into multiple pieces, and each pieces of the data is aggregated 
into one big row. In the process of computation, the whole big row is loaded 
into memory and thus speed up the computation. This parameter controls 
approximately how many numbers we want to put into one big row. Larger value of 
array_agg_size may speed up more, but the size of the big row cannot exceed 1GB 
due to the restriction of PostgreSQL databases.</li>
+<li>sample_size &mdash; To cut the data into approximate equal pieces, we 
first sample the data, and then find out the break points using this sampled 
data. A larger sample_size produces more accurate break points.  </li>

+<p>Generally, proportional-hazard models start with a list of \( \boldsymbol n 
\) observations, each with \( \boldsymbol m \) covariates and a time of death. 
From this \( \boldsymbol n \times m \) matrix, we would like to derive the 
correlation between the covariates and the hazard function. This amounts to 
finding the parameters \( \boldsymbol \beta \) that best fit the model 
described below.</p>
+<p>Let us define:</p><ul>
+<li>\( \boldsymbol t \in \mathbf R^{m} \) denote the vector of observed 
dependent variables, with \( n \) rows.</li>
+<li>\( X \in \mathbf R^{m} \) denote the design matrix with \( m \) columns 
and \( n \) rows, containing all observed vectors of independent variables \( 
\boldsymbol x_i \) as rows.</li>
+<li>\( R(t_i) \) denote the set of observations still alive at time \( t_i 
\)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Note that this model <b>does not</b> include a <b>constant term</b>, and 
the data cannot contain a column of 1s.</p>
+<p>By definition, </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ P[T_k = t_i | \boldsymbol R(t_i)] = \frac{e^{\beta^T x_k} }{ \sum_{j \in 
R(t_i)} e^{\beta^T x_j}}. \,. \]
+</p>
+<p>The <b>partial likelihood </b>function can now be generated as the product 
of conditional probabilities: </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \mathcal L = \prod_{i = 1}^n \left( \frac{e^{\beta^T x_i}}{ \sum_{j \in 
R(t_i)} e^{\beta^T x_j}} \right). \]
+</p>
+<p>The log-likelihood form of this equation is </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ L = \sum_{i = 1}^n \left[ \beta^T x_i - \log\left(\sum_{j \in R(t_i)} 
e^{\beta^T x_j }\right) \right]. \]
+</p>
+<p>Using this score function and Hessian matrix, the partial likelihood can be 
maximized using the <b> Newton-Raphson algorithm</b>. <b>Breslow's method</b> 
is used to resolved tied times of deaths. The time of death for two records are 
considered "equal" if they differ by less than 1.0e-6</p>
+<p>The inverse of the Hessian matrix, evaluated at the estimate of \( 
\boldsymbol \beta \), can be used as an <b>approximate variance-covariance 
matrix </b> for the estimate, and used to produce approximate <b>standard 
errors</b> for the regression coefficients.</p>
+<p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \mathit{se}(c_i) = \left( (H)^{-1} \right)_{ii} \,. \]
+</p>
+<p> The Wald z-statistic is </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ z_i = \frac{c_i}{\mathit{se}(c_i)} \,. \]
+</p>
+<p>The Wald \( p \)-value for coefficient \( i \) gives the probability (under 
the assumptions inherent in the Wald test) of seeing a value at least as 
extreme as the one observed, provided that the null hypothesis ( \( c_i = 0 \)) 
is true. Letting \( F \) denote the cumulative density function of a standard 
normal distribution, the Wald \( p \)-value for coefficient \( i \) is 
therefore </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ p_i = \Pr(|Z| \geq |z_i|) = 2 \cdot (1 - F( |z_i| )) \]
+</p>
+<p> where \( Z \) is a standard normally distributed random variable.</p>
+<p>The condition number is computed as \( \kappa(H) \) during the iteration 
immediately <em>preceding</em> convergence (i.e., \( A \) is computed using the 
coefficients of the previous iteration). A large condition number (say, more 
than 1000) indicates the presence of significant multicollinearity.</p>

number of featrues. For instance, if there are 100 featrues, the number of ties

+</div><p>A conditional random field (CRF) is a type of discriminative, 
undirected probabilistic graphical model. A linear-chain CRF is a special type 
of CRF that assumes the current state depends only on the previous state.</p>
+<p>Feature extraction modules are provided for text-analysis tasks such as 
part-of-speech (POS) tagging and named-entity resolution (NER). Currently, six 
feature types are implemented:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Edge Feature: transition feature that encodes the transition feature 
weight from current label to next label.</li>
+<li>Start Feature: fired when the current token is the first token in a 
sequence.</li>
+<li>End Feature: fired when the current token is the last token in a 
sequence.</li>
+<li>Word Feature: fired when the current token is observed in the trained 
dictionary.</li>
+<li>Unknown Feature: fired when the current token is not observed in the 
trained dictionary for at least a certain number of times (default 1).</li>
+<li>Regex Feature: fired when the current token can be matched by a regular 
expression.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>A Viterbi implementation is also provided to get the best label sequence 
and the conditional probability \( \Pr( \text{best label sequence} \mid 
\text{sequence}) \).</p>
+<p>Following steps are required for CRF Learning and Inference:</p><ol

+<p>Specifically, a linear-chain CRF is a distribution defined by </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ p_\lambda(\boldsymbol y | \boldsymbol x) = \frac{\exp{\sum_{m=1}^M 
\lambda_m F_m(\boldsymbol x, \boldsymbol y)}}{Z_\lambda(\boldsymbol x)} \,. \]
+</p>
+<p>where</p><ul>
+<li>\( F_m(\boldsymbol x, \boldsymbol y) = \sum_{i=1}^n f_m(y_i,y_{i-1},x_i) 
\) is a global feature function that is a sum along a sequence \( \boldsymbol x 
\) of length \( n \)</li>
+<li>\( f_m(y_i,y_{i-1},x_i) \) is a local feature function dependent on the 
current token label \( y_i \), the previous token label \( y_{i-1} \), and the 
observation \( x_i \)</li>
+<li>\( \lambda_m \) is the corresponding feature weight</li>
+<li>\( Z_\lambda(\boldsymbol x) \) is an instance-specific normalizer <p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ Z_\lambda(\boldsymbol x) = \sum_{\boldsymbol y&#39;} \exp{\sum_{m=1}^M 
\lambda_m F_m(\boldsymbol x, \boldsymbol y&#39;)} \]
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>A linear-chain CRF estimates the weights \( \lambda_m \) by maximizing the 
log-likelihood of a given training set \( T=\{(x_k,y_k)\}_{k=1}^N \).</p>
+<p>The log-likelihood is defined as </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \ell_{\lambda}=\sum_k \log p_\lambda(y_k|x_k) =\sum_k[\sum_{m=1}^M 
\lambda_m F_m(x_k,y_k) - \log Z_\lambda(x_k)] \]
+</p>
+<p>and the zero of its gradient </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \nabla \ell_{\lambda}=\sum_k[F(x_k,y_k)-E_{p_\lambda(Y|x_k)}[F(x_k,Y)]] \]
+</p>
+<p>is found since the maximum likelihood is reached when the empirical average 
of the global feature vector equals its model expectation. The MADlib 
implementation uses limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS), a limited-memory variation of 
the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) update, a quasi-Newton method 
for unconstrained optimization.</p>
+<p>\(E_{p_\lambda(Y|x)}[F(x,Y)]\) is found by using a variant of the 
forward-backward algorithm: </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ E_{p_\lambda(Y|x)}[F(x,Y)] = \sum_y p_\lambda(y|x)F(x,y) = 
\sum_i\frac{\alpha_{i-1}(f_i*M_i)\beta_i^T}{Z_\lambda(x)} \]
+</p>
+ <p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ Z_\lambda(x) = \alpha_n.1^T \]
+</p>
+<p> where \(\alpha_i\) and \( \beta_i\) are the forward and backward state 
cost vectors defined by </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \alpha_i = \begin{cases} \alpha_{i-1}M_i, &amp; 0&lt;i&lt;=n\\ 1, &amp; i=0 
\end{cases}\\ \]
+</p>
+ <p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \beta_i^T = \begin{cases} M_{i+1}\beta_{i+1}^T, &amp; 1&lt;=i&lt;n\\ 1, 
&amp; i=n \end{cases} \]
+</p>
+<p>To avoid overfitting, we penalize the likelihood with a spherical Gaussian 
weight prior: </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \ell_{\lambda}^\prime=\sum_k[\sum_{m=1}^M \lambda_m F_m(x_k,y_k) - \log 
Z_\lambda(x_k)] - \frac{\lVert \lambda \rVert^2}{2\sigma ^2} \]
+</p>
+<p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \nabla \ell_{\lambda}^\prime=\sum_k[F(x_k,y_k) - 
E_{p_\lambda(Y|x_k)}[F(x_k,Y)]] - \frac{\lambda}{\sigma ^2} \]
