# sklearn.manifold.LocallyLinearEmbedding¶

class sklearn.manifold.LocallyLinearEmbedding(*, n_neighbors=5, n_components=2, reg=0.001, eigen_solver='auto', tol=1e-06, max_iter=100, method='standard', hessian_tol=0.0001, modified_tol=1e-12, neighbors_algorithm='auto', random_state=None, n_jobs=None)[source]

Locally Linear Embedding.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:
n_neighborsint, default=5

Number of neighbors to consider for each point.

n_componentsint, default=2

Number of coordinates for the manifold.

regfloat, default=1e-3

Regularization constant, multiplies the trace of the local covariance matrix of the distances.

eigen_solver{‘auto’, ‘arpack’, ‘dense’}, default=’auto’

The solver used to compute the eigenvectors. The available options are:

• 'auto' : algorithm will attempt to choose the best method for input data.

• 'arpack' : use arnoldi iteration in shift-invert mode. For this method, M may be a dense matrix, sparse matrix, or general linear operator.

• 'dense' : use standard dense matrix operations for the eigenvalue decomposition. For this method, M must be an array or matrix type. This method should be avoided for large problems.

Warning

ARPACK can be unstable for some problems. It is best to try several random seeds in order to check results.

tolfloat, default=1e-6

Tolerance for ‘arpack’ method Not used if eigen_solver==’dense’.

max_iterint, default=100

Maximum number of iterations for the arpack solver. Not used if eigen_solver==’dense’.

method{‘standard’, ‘hessian’, ‘modified’, ‘ltsa’}, default=’standard’
• standard: use the standard locally linear embedding algorithm. see reference [1]

• hessian: use the Hessian eigenmap method. This method requires n_neighbors > n_components * (1 + (n_components + 1) / 2. see reference [2]

• modified: use the modified locally linear embedding algorithm. see reference [3]

• ltsa: use local tangent space alignment algorithm. see reference [4]

hessian_tolfloat, default=1e-4

Tolerance for Hessian eigenmapping method. Only used if method == 'hessian'.

modified_tolfloat, default=1e-12

Tolerance for modified LLE method. Only used if method == 'modified'.

neighbors_algorithm{‘auto’, ‘brute’, ‘kd_tree’, ‘ball_tree’}, default=’auto’

Algorithm to use for nearest neighbors search, passed to NearestNeighbors instance.

random_stateint, RandomState instance, default=None

Determines the random number generator when eigen_solver == ‘arpack’. Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

n_jobsint or None, default=None

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

Attributes:
embedding_array-like, shape [n_samples, n_components]

New in version 0.24.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.

New in version 1.0.

nbrs_NearestNeighbors object

Stores nearest neighbors instance, including BallTree or KDtree if applicable.

SpectralEmbedding

Spectral embedding for non-linear dimensionality reduction.

TSNE

Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding.

Methods

 fit(X[, y]) Compute the embedding vectors for data X. fit_transform(X[, y]) Compute the embedding vectors for data X and transform X. get_feature_names_out([input_features]) Get output feature names for transformation. get_params([deep]) Get parameters for this estimator. set_output(*[, transform]) Set output container. set_params(**params) Set the parameters of this estimator. Transform new points into embedding space.
fit(X, y=None)[source]

Compute the embedding vectors for data X.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training set.

yIgnored

Not used, present here for API consistency by convention.

Returns:
selfobject

Fitted LocallyLinearEmbedding class instance.

fit_transform(X, y=None)[source]

Compute the embedding vectors for data X and transform X.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training set.

yIgnored

Not used, present here for API consistency by convention.

Returns:
X_newarray-like, shape (n_samples, n_components)

Returns the instance itself.

get_feature_names_out(input_features=None)[source]

Get output feature names for transformation.

The feature names out will prefixed by the lowercased class name. For example, if the transformer outputs 3 features, then the feature names out are: ["class_name0", "class_name1", "class_name2"].

Parameters:
input_featuresarray-like of str or None, default=None

Only used to validate feature names with the names seen in fit.

Returns:
feature_names_outndarray of str objects

Transformed feature names.

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.

set_output(*, transform=None)[source]

Set output container.

See Introducing the set_output API for an example on how to use the API.

Parameters:
transform{“default”, “pandas”}, default=None

Configure output of transform and fit_transform.

• "default": Default output format of a transformer

• "pandas": DataFrame output

• None: Transform configuration is unchanged

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

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]

Transform new points into embedding space.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training set.

Returns:
X_newndarray of shape (n_samples, n_components)

Returns the instance itself.

Notes

Because of scaling performed by this method, it is discouraged to use it together with methods that are not scale-invariant (like SVMs).
