`sklearn.linear_model`.HuberRegressor¶

class sklearn.linear_model.HuberRegressor(*, epsilon=1.35, max_iter=100, alpha=0.0001, warm_start=False, fit_intercept=True, tol=1e-05)[source]¶

Linear regression model that is robust to outliers.

The Huber Regressor optimizes the squared loss for the samples where |(y - X'w) / sigma| < epsilon and the absolute loss for the samples where |(y - X'w) / sigma| > epsilon, where w and sigma are parameters to be optimized. The parameter sigma makes sure that if y is scaled up or down by a certain factor, one does not need to rescale epsilon to achieve the same robustness. Note that this does not take into account the fact that the different features of X may be of different scales.

This makes sure that the loss function is not heavily influenced by the outliers while not completely ignoring their effect.

Methods

`fit`(X, y[, sample_weight])	Fit the model according to the given training data.
`get_params`([deep])	Get parameters for this estimator.
`predict`(X)	Predict using the linear model.
`score`(X, y[, sample_weight])	Return the coefficient of determination of the prediction.
`set_params`(**params)	Set the parameters of this estimator.

fit(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]¶

Fit the model according to the given training data.

Parameters

Xarray-like, shape (n_samples, n_features): Training vector, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.
yarray-like, shape (n_samples,): Target vector relative to X.
sample_weightarray-like, shape (n_samples,): Weight given to each sample.

Returns

selfobject: Fitted HuberRegressor estimator.

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.

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 of the prediction.

The coefficient of determination \(R^2\) is defined as \((1 - \frac{u}{v})\), 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 with 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 \(R^2\) 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 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.
