8.14.1.3. sklearn.linear_model.RidgeCV

class sklearn.linear_model.RidgeCV(alphas=array([ 0.1, 1., 10. ]), fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, score_func=None, loss_func=None, cv=None)

Ridge regression with built-in cross-validation.

By default, it performs Generalized Cross-Validation, which is a form of efficient Leave-One-Out cross-validation. Currently, only the n_features > n_samples case is handled efficiently.

Parameters :

alphas: numpy array of shape [n_alpha] :

Array of alpha values to try. Small positive values of alpha improve the conditioning of the problem and reduce the variance of the estimates. Alpha corresponds to (2*C)^-1 in other linear models such as LogisticRegression or LinearSVC.

fit_intercept : boolean

Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set to false, no intercept will be used in calculations (e.g. data is expected to be already centered).

normalize : boolean, optional

If True, the regressors X are normalized

loss_func: callable, optional :

function that takes 2 arguments and compares them in order to evaluate the performance of prediciton (small is good) if None is passed, the score of the estimator is maximized

score_func: callable, optional :

function that takes 2 arguments and compares them in order to evaluate the performance of prediciton (big is good) if None is passed, the score of the estimator is maximized

Methods

decision_function(X) Decision function of the linear model
fit(X, y[, sample_weight]) Fit Ridge regression model
predict(X) Predict using the linear model
score(X, y) Returns the coefficient of determination R^2 of the prediction.
set_params(**params) Set the parameters of the estimator.
__init__(alphas=array([ 0.1, 1., 10. ]), fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, score_func=None, loss_func=None, cv=None)
decision_function(X)

Decision function of the linear model

Parameters :

X : numpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features]

Returns :

C : array, shape = [n_samples]

Returns predicted values.

fit(X, y, sample_weight=1.0)

Fit Ridge regression model

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Training data

y : array-like, shape = [n_samples] or [n_samples, n_responses]

Target values

sample_weight : float or array-like of shape [n_samples]

Sample weight

cv : cross-validation generator, optional

If None, Generalized Cross-Validationn (efficient Leave-One-Out) will be used.

Returns :

self : Returns self.

predict(X)

Predict using the linear model

Parameters :

X : numpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features]

Returns :

C : array, shape = [n_samples]

Returns predicted values.

score(X, y)

Returns the coefficient of determination R^2 of the prediction.

The coefficient R^2 is defined as (1 - u/v), where u is the regression sum of squares ((y - y_pred) ** 2).sum() and v is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). Best possible score is 1.0, lower values are worse.

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Training set.

y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

Returns :

z : float

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of the estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns :self :
