# 3.2.4.1.6. sklearn.linear_model.MultiTaskElasticNetCV¶

class sklearn.linear_model.MultiTaskElasticNetCV(*, l1_ratio=0.5, eps=0.001, n_alphas=100, alphas=None, fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, max_iter=1000, tol=0.0001, cv=None, copy_X=True, verbose=0, n_jobs=None, random_state=None, selection='cyclic')[source]

Multi-task L1/L2 ElasticNet with built-in cross-validation.

See glossary entry for cross-validation estimator.

The optimization objective for MultiTaskElasticNet is:

(1 / (2 * n_samples)) * ||Y - XW||^Fro_2
+ alpha * l1_ratio * ||W||_21
+ 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||W||_Fro^2


Where:

||W||_21 = \sum_i \sqrt{\sum_j w_{ij}^2}


i.e. the sum of norm of each row.

Read more in the User Guide.

New in version 0.15.

Parameters
l1_ratiofloat or list of float, default=0.5

The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with 0 < l1_ratio <= 1. For l1_ratio = 1 the penalty is an L1/L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 0 it is an L2 penalty. For 0 < l1_ratio < 1, the penalty is a combination of L1/L2 and L2. This parameter can be a list, in which case the different values are tested by cross-validation and the one giving the best prediction score is used. Note that a good choice of list of values for l1_ratio is often to put more values close to 1 (i.e. Lasso) and less close to 0 (i.e. Ridge), as in [.1, .5, .7, .9, .95, .99, 1]

epsfloat, default=1e-3

Length of the path. eps=1e-3 means that alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3.

n_alphasint, default=100

Number of alphas along the regularization path

alphasarray-like, default=None

List of alphas where to compute the models. If not provided, set automatically.

fit_interceptbool, default=True

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

normalizebool, default=False

This parameter is ignored when fit_intercept is set to False. If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression by subtracting the mean and dividing by the l2-norm. If you wish to standardize, please use sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler before calling fit on an estimator with normalize=False.

max_iterint, default=1000

The maximum number of iterations

tolfloat, default=1e-4

The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are smaller than tol, the optimization code checks the dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller than tol.

cvint, cross-validation generator or iterable, default=None

Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:

• None, to use the default 5-fold cross-validation,

• int, to specify the number of folds.

• An iterable yielding (train, test) splits as arrays of indices.

For int/None inputs, KFold is used.

Refer User Guide for the various cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

Changed in version 0.22: cv default value if None changed from 3-fold to 5-fold.

copy_Xbool, default=True

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

verbosebool or int, default=0

Amount of verbosity.

n_jobsint, default=None

Number of CPUs to use during the cross validation. Note that this is used only if multiple values for l1_ratio are given. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.

random_stateint, RandomState instance, default=None

The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Used when selection == ‘random’. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

selection{‘cyclic’, ‘random’}, default=’cyclic’

If set to ‘random’, a random coefficient is updated every iteration rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This (setting to ‘random’) often leads to significantly faster convergence especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

Attributes

Independent term in decision function.

Parameter vector (W in the cost function formula). Note that coef_ stores the transpose of W, W.T.

alpha_float

The amount of penalization chosen by cross validation

mse_path_ndarray of shape (n_alphas, n_folds) or (n_l1_ratio, n_alphas, n_folds)

mean square error for the test set on each fold, varying alpha

alphas_ndarray of shape (n_alphas,) or (n_l1_ratio, n_alphas)

The grid of alphas used for fitting, for each l1_ratio

l1_ratio_float

best l1_ratio obtained by cross-validation.

n_iter_int

number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach the specified tolerance for the optimal alpha.

Notes

The algorithm used to fit the model is coordinate descent.

To avoid unnecessary memory duplication the X and y arguments of the fit method should be directly passed as Fortran-contiguous numpy arrays.

Examples

>>> from sklearn import linear_model
>>> clf.fit([[0,0], [1, 1], [2, 2]],
...         [[0, 0], [1, 1], [2, 2]])
>>> print(clf.coef_)
[[0.52875032 0.46958558]
[0.52875032 0.46958558]]
>>> print(clf.intercept_)
[0.00166409 0.00166409]

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

Target values.

l1_ratiofloat, default=0.5

Number between 0 and 1 passed to elastic net (scaling between l1 and l2 penalties). l1_ratio=1 corresponds to the Lasso.

epsfloat, default=1e-3

Length of the path. eps=1e-3 means that alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3.

n_alphasint, default=100

Number of alphas along the regularization path.

alphasndarray, default=None

List of alphas where to compute the models. If None alphas are set automatically.

precompute‘auto’, bool or array-like of shape (n_features, n_features), default=’auto’

The initial values of the coefficients.

verbosebool or int, default=False

Amount of verbosity.

return_n_iterbool, default=False

Whether to return the number of iterations or not.

positivebool, default=False

If set to True, forces coefficients to be positive. (Only allowed when y.ndim == 1).

check_inputbool, default=True

Skip input validation checks, including the Gram matrix when provided assuming there are handled by the caller when check_input=False.

**paramskwargs

Keyword arguments passed to the coordinate descent solver.

Returns

Notes

For an example, see examples/linear_model/plot_lasso_coordinate_descent_path.py.

predict(X)[source]

Predict using the linear model.

Parameters
Xarray_like or sparse matrix, shape (n_samples, n_features)

Samples.

Returns
Carray, shape (n_samples,)

Returns predicted values.

score(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]

Return the coefficient of determination R^2 of the prediction.

The coefficient R^2 is defined as (1 - u/v), where u is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_pred) ** 2).sum() and v is the total sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). The best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a R^2 score of 0.0.

Parameters
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples. For some estimators this may be a precomputed kernel matrix or a list of generic objects instead, shape = (n_samples, n_samples_fitted), where n_samples_fitted is the number of samples used in the fitting for the estimator.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True values for X.

sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None

Sample weights.

Returns
scorefloat

R^2 of self.predict(X) wrt. y.

Notes

The R2 score used when calling score on a regressor uses multioutput='uniform_average' from version 0.23 to keep consistent with default value of r2_score. This influences the score method of all the multioutput regressors (except for MultiOutputRegressor).

set_params(**params)[source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

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

Parameters
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns
selfobject

Estimator instance.
