sklearn.datasets.make_friedman2

sklearn.datasets.make_friedman2(n_samples=100, *, noise=0.0, random_state=None)

Generate the “Friedman #2” regression problem.

This dataset is described in Friedman [1] and Breiman [2].

Inputs X are 4 independent features uniformly distributed on the intervals:

0 <= X[:, 0] <= 100,
40 * pi <= X[:, 1] <= 560 * pi,
0 <= X[:, 2] <= 1,
1 <= X[:, 3] <= 11.

The output y is created according to the formula:

y(X) = (X[:, 0] ** 2 + (X[:, 1] * X[:, 2]  - 1 / (X[:, 1] * X[:, 3])) ** 2) ** 0.5 + noise * N(0, 1).

Parameters

n_samplesint, default=100

The number of samples.

noisefloat, default=0.0

The standard deviation of the gaussian noise applied to the output.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Determines random number generation for dataset noise. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

Returns

Xndarray of shape (n_samples, 4)

The input samples.

yndarray of shape (n_samples,)

The output values.
