sklearn.covariance.GraphicalLassoCV

class sklearn.covariance.GraphicalLassoCV(*, alphas=4, n_refinements=4, cv=None, tol=0.0001, enet_tol=0.0001, max_iter=100, mode='cd', n_jobs=None, verbose=False, assume_centered=False)[source]

Sparse inverse covariance w/ cross-validated choice of the l1 penalty.

See glossary entry for cross-validation estimator.

Read more in the User Guide.

Changed in version v0.20: GraphLassoCV has been renamed to GraphicalLassoCV

Parameters:
alphasint or array-like of shape (n_alphas,), dtype=float, default=4

If an integer is given, it fixes the number of points on the grids of alpha to be used. If a list is given, it gives the grid to be used. See the notes in the class docstring for more details. Range is [1, inf) for an integer. Range is (0, inf] for an array-like of floats.

n_refinementsint, default=4

The number of times the grid is refined. Not used if explicit values of alphas are passed. Range is [1, inf).

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,

  • integer, to specify the number of folds.

  • CV splitter,

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

For integer/None inputs KFold is used.

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

Changed in version 0.20: cv default value if None changed from 3-fold to 5-fold.

tolfloat, default=1e-4

The tolerance to declare convergence: if the dual gap goes below this value, iterations are stopped. Range is (0, inf].

enet_tolfloat, default=1e-4

The tolerance for the elastic net solver used to calculate the descent direction. This parameter controls the accuracy of the search direction for a given column update, not of the overall parameter estimate. Only used for mode=’cd’. Range is (0, inf].

max_iterint, default=100

Maximum number of iterations.

mode{‘cd’, ‘lars’}, default=’cd’

The Lasso solver to use: coordinate descent or LARS. Use LARS for very sparse underlying graphs, where number of features is greater than number of samples. Elsewhere prefer cd which is more numerically stable.

n_jobsint, default=None

Number of jobs to run in parallel. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.

Changed in version v0.20: n_jobs default changed from 1 to None

verbosebool, default=False

If verbose is True, the objective function and duality gap are printed at each iteration.

assume_centeredbool, default=False

If True, data are not centered before computation. Useful when working with data whose mean is almost, but not exactly zero. If False, data are centered before computation.

Notes

The search for the optimal penalization parameter (alpha) is done on an iteratively refined grid: first the cross-validated scores on a grid are computed, then a new refined grid is centered around the maximum, and so on.

One of the challenges which is faced here is that the solvers can fail to converge to a well-conditioned estimate. The corresponding values of alpha then come out as missing values, but the optimum may be close to these missing values.

In fit, once the best parameter alpha is found through cross-validation, the model is fit again using the entire training set.
