Add Newton-Raphson strategy example
The Newton-Raphson strategy is based on Newton-Raphson distributed method (see https://docs.substra.org/en/stable/substrafl_doc/api/strategies.html#newton-raphson). It leads to a faster convergence than FedAvg
, however it can only be used on convex problems.
See here for more details.
In this example we will use it in order to train a linear model on this FLamby dataset that contains tabular data about patients with heart diseases. Note that the dataset already provides a partitioning of the data for 4 different clients (or 'centers' as they represent medical centers).
Hello @charlesbvll nice work ! I would also be glad to see another flower example in FLamby alongside substra, fedbiomed and fedml: https://github.com/owkin/FLamby/tree/main/integration
