sklearn.kernel_approximation.Nystroem

class sklearn.kernel_approximation.Nystroem(kernel='rbf', gamma=None, coef0=1, degree=3, kernel_params=None, n_components=100, random_state=None)

Approximate a kernel map using a subset of the training data.

Constructs an approximate feature map for an arbitrary kernel using a subset of the data as basis.

Parameters:

kernel : string or callable, default=”rbf”

Kernel map to be approximated. A callable should accept two arguments and the keyword arguments passed to this object as kernel_params, and should return a floating point number.

n_components : int

Number of features to construct. How many data points will be used to construct the mapping.

gamma : float, default=None

Gamma parameter for the RBF, polynomial, exponential chi2 and sigmoid kernels. Interpretation of the default value is left to the kernel; see the documentation for sklearn.metrics.pairwise. Ignored by other kernels.

degree : float, default=3

Degree of the polynomial kernel. Ignored by other kernels.

coef0 : float, default=1

Zero coefficient for polynomial and sigmoid kernels. Ignored by other kernels.

kernel_params : mapping of string to any, optional

Additional parameters (keyword arguments) for kernel function passed as callable object.

random_state : {int, RandomState}, optional

If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; if RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator.

Attributes:

`components_` : array, shape (n_components, n_features)

Subset of training points used to construct the feature map.

`component_indices_` : array, shape (n_components)

Indices of components_ in the training set.

`normalization_` : array, shape (n_components, n_components)

Normalization matrix needed for embedding. Square root of the kernel matrix on components_.

Methods

fit(X[, y]) Fit estimator to data.

get_params([deep]) Get parameters for this estimator.
set_params(**params) Set the parameters of this estimator.
transform(X) Apply feature map to X.
__init__(kernel='rbf', gamma=None, coef0=1, degree=3, kernel_params=None, n_components=100, random_state=None)
fit(X, y=None)

Fit estimator to data.

Samples a subset of training points, computes kernel on these and computes normalization matrix.

Parameters:

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

Training data.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)

Fit to data, then transform it.

Fits transformer to X and y with optional parameters fit_params and returns a transformed version of X.

Parameters:

X : numpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features]

Training set.

y : numpy array of shape [n_samples]

Target values.

Returns:

X_new : numpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features_new]

Transformed array.

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.

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 :
transform(X)

Apply feature map to X.

Computes an approximate feature map using the kernel between some training points and X.

Parameters:

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

Data to transform.

Returns:

X_transformed : array, shape=(n_samples, n_components)

Transformed data.
