sklearn.linear_model.RidgeClassifier

class sklearn.linear_model.RidgeClassifier(alpha=1.0, fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, copy_X=True, max_iter=None, tol=0.001, class_weight=None, solver='auto')

Classifier using Ridge regression.

Parameters:

alpha : float

Small positive values of alpha improve the conditioning of the problem and reduce the variance of the estimates. Alpha corresponds to (2*C)^-1 in other linear models such as LogisticRegression or LinearSVC.

class_weight : dict, optional

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label : weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one.

copy_X : boolean, optional, default True

If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.

fit_intercept : boolean

Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set to false, no intercept will be used in calculations (e.g. data is expected to be already centered).

max_iter : int, optional

Maximum number of iterations for conjugate gradient solver. The default value is determined by scipy.sparse.linalg.

normalize : boolean, optional, default False

If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.

solver : {‘auto’, ‘svd’, ‘cholesky’, ‘lsqr’, ‘sparse_cg’}

Solver to use in the computational routines. ‘svd’ will use a Singular value decomposition to obtain the solution, ‘cholesky’ will use the standard scipy.linalg.solve function, ‘sparse_cg’ will use the conjugate gradient solver as found in scipy.sparse.linalg.cg while ‘auto’ will chose the most appropriate depending on the matrix X. ‘lsqr’ uses a direct regularized least-squares routine provided by scipy.

tol : float

Precision of the solution.

Attributes:

coef_ : array, shape = [n_features] or [n_classes, n_features]

Weight vector(s).

Notes

For multi-class classification, n_class classifiers are trained in a one-versus-all approach. Concretely, this is implemented by taking advantage of the multi-variate response support in Ridge.

decision_function(X)

Predict confidence scores for samples.

The confidence score for a sample is the signed distance of that sample to the hyperplane.

Parameters:

X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = (n_samples, n_features)

Samples.

Returns:

array, shape=(n_samples,) if n_classes == 2 else (n_samples, n_classes) :

Confidence scores per (sample, class) combination. In the binary case, confidence score for self.classes_[1] where >0 means this class would be predicted.

fit(X, y)

Fit Ridge regression model.

Parameters:

X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples,n_features]

Training data

y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

Target values

Returns:

self : returns an instance of self.

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:

deep: boolean, optional :

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:

params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

predict(X)

Predict class labels for samples in X.

Parameters:

X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Samples.

Returns:

C : array, shape = [n_samples]

Predicted class label per sample.

score(X, y, sample_weight=None)

Returns the mean accuracy on the given test data and labels.

In multi-label classification, this is the subset accuracy which is a harsh metric since you require for each sample that each label set be correctly predicted.

Parameters:

X : array-like, shape = (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples.

y : array-like, shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True labels for X.

sample_weight : array-like, shape = [n_samples], optional

Sample weights.

Returns:

score : float

Mean accuracy of self.predict(X) wrt. y.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns:self :
