sklearn.feature_selection.SelectFdr

class sklearn.feature_selection.SelectFdr(score_func=<function f_classif>, *, alpha=0.05)[source]

Filter: Select the p-values for an estimated false discovery rate

This uses the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. alpha is an upper bound on the expected false discovery rate.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters
score_funccallable, default=f_classif

Function taking two arrays X and y, and returning a pair of arrays (scores, pvalues). Default is f_classif (see below “See Also”). The default function only works with classification tasks.

alphafloat, default=5e-2

The highest uncorrected p-value for features to keep.

Attributes
scores_array-like of shape (n_features,)

Scores of features.

pvalues_array-like of shape (n_features,)

p-values of feature scores.

Methods

fit(X, y)

Run score function on (X, y) and get the appropriate features.

fit_transform(X[, y])

Fit to data, then transform it.

get_params([deep])

Get parameters for this estimator.

get_support([indices])

Get a mask, or integer index, of the features selected

inverse_transform(X)

Reverse the transformation operation

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

transform(X)

Reduce X to the selected features.
fit(X, y)[source]

Run score function on (X, y) and get the appropriate features.

Parameters
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)

The target values (class labels in classification, real numbers in regression).

Returns
selfobject
fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)[source]

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
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Input samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs), default=None

Target values (None for unsupervised transformations).

**fit_paramsdict

Additional fit parameters.

Returns
X_newndarray array of shape (n_samples, n_features_new)

Transformed array.

get_params(deep=True)[source]

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters
deepbool, default=True

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

Returns
paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

get_support(indices=False)[source]

Get a mask, or integer index, of the features selected

Parameters
indicesbool, default=False

If True, the return value will be an array of integers, rather than a boolean mask.

Returns
supportarray

An index that selects the retained features from a feature vector. If indices is False, this is a boolean array of shape [# input features], in which an element is True iff its corresponding feature is selected for retention. If indices is True, this is an integer array of shape [# output features] whose values are indices into the input feature vector.

inverse_transform(X)[source]

Reverse the transformation operation

Parameters
Xarray of shape [n_samples, n_selected_features]

The input samples.

Returns
X_rarray of shape [n_samples, n_original_features]

X with columns of zeros inserted where features would have been removed by transform.

set_params(**params)[source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). 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
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

transform(X)[source]

Reduce X to the selected features.

Parameters
Xarray of shape [n_samples, n_features]

The input samples.

Returns
X_rarray of shape [n_samples, n_selected_features]

The input samples with only the selected features.
