sklearn.learning_curve.learning_curve¶
- sklearn.learning_curve.learning_curve(estimator, X, y, train_sizes=array([ 0.1, 0.325, 0.55, 0.775, 1. ]), cv=None, scoring=None, exploit_incremental_learning=False, n_jobs=1, pre_dispatch='all', verbose=0)[source]¶
Learning curve.
Determines cross-validated training and test scores for different training set sizes.
A cross-validation generator splits the whole dataset k times in training and test data. Subsets of the training set with varying sizes will be used to train the estimator and a score for each training subset size and the test set will be computed. Afterwards, the scores will be averaged over all k runs for each training subset size.
Parameters: estimator : object type that implements the “fit” and “predict” methods
An object of that type which is cloned for each validation.
X : array-like, shape (n_samples, n_features)
Training vector, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.
y : array-like, shape (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_features), optional
Target relative to X for classification or regression; None for unsupervised learning.
train_sizes : array-like, shape (n_ticks,), dtype float or int
Relative or absolute numbers of training examples that will be used to generate the learning curve. If the dtype is float, it is regarded as a fraction of the maximum size of the training set (that is determined by the selected validation method), i.e. it has to be within (0, 1]. Otherwise it is interpreted as absolute sizes of the training sets. Note that for classification the number of samples usually have to be big enough to contain at least one sample from each class. (default: np.linspace(0.1, 1.0, 5))
cv : integer, cross-validation generator, optional
If an integer is passed, it is the number of folds (defaults to 3). Specific cross-validation objects can be passed, see sklearn.cross_validation module for the list of possible objects
scoring : string, callable or None, optional, default: None
A string (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y).
exploit_incremental_learning : boolean, optional, default: False
If the estimator supports incremental learning, this will be used to speed up fitting for different training set sizes.
n_jobs : integer, optional
Number of jobs to run in parallel (default 1).
pre_dispatch : integer or string, optional
Number of predispatched jobs for parallel execution (default is all). The option can reduce the allocated memory. The string can be an expression like ‘2*n_jobs’.
verbose : integer, optional
Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages.
Returns: train_sizes_abs : array, shape = (n_unique_ticks,), dtype int
Numbers of training examples that has been used to generate the learning curve. Note that the number of ticks might be less than n_ticks because duplicate entries will be removed.
train_scores : array, shape (n_ticks, n_cv_folds)
Scores on training sets.
test_scores : array, shape (n_ticks, n_cv_folds)
Scores on test set.
