class sklearn.svm.NuSVC(nu=0.5, kernel='rbf', degree=3, gamma=0.0, coef0=0.0, shrinking=True, probability=False, tol=0.001, cache_size=200)

Nu-Support Vector Classification.

Parameters :

nu : float, optional (default=0.5)

An upper bound on the fraction of training errors and a lower bound of the fraction of support vectors. Should be in the interval (0, 1].

kernel : string, optional (default=’rbf’)

Specifies the kernel type to be used in the algorithm. one of ‘linear’, ‘poly’, ‘rbf’, ‘sigmoid’, ‘precomputed’. If none is given ‘rbf’ will be used.

degree : int, optional (default=3)

degree of kernel function is significant only in poly, rbf, sigmoid

gamma : float, optional (default=0.0)

kernel coefficient for rbf and poly, if gamma is 0.0 then 1/n_features will be taken.

coef0 : float, optional (default=0.0)

independent term in kernel function. It is only significant in poly/sigmoid.

probability: boolean, optional (default=False) :

Whether to enable probability estimates. This must be enabled prior to calling predict_proba.

shrinking: boolean, optional (default=True) :

Whether to use the shrinking heuristic.

tol: float, optional (default=1e-3) :

Tolerance for stopping criterion.

cache_size: float, optional :

Specify the size of the kernel cache (in MB)

__init__(nu=0.5, kernel='rbf', degree=3, gamma=0.0, coef0=0.0, shrinking=True, probability=False, tol=0.001, cache_size=200)

decision_function(X)

Distance of the samples T to the separating hyperplane.

Parameters :

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

Returns :

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_class * (n_class-1) / 2]

Returns the decision function of the sample for each class in the model.

fit(X, y, class_weight=None, sample_weight=None)

Fit the SVM model according to the given training data.

Parameters :

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

Training vectors, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.

y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

Target values (integers in classification, real numbers in regression)

class_weight : {dict, ‘auto’}, optional

Set the parameter C of class i to class_weight[i]*C for SVC. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one. The ‘auto’ mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies.

sample_weight : array-like, shape = [n_samples], optional

Weights applied to individual samples (1. for unweighted).

Returns :

self : object

Returns self.

Notes

If X and y are not C-ordered and contiguous arrays, they are copied.

predict(X)

Perform classification or regression samples in X.

For a classification model, the predicted class for each sample in X is returned. For a regression model, the function value of X calculated is returned.

For an one-class model, +1 or -1 is returned.

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

predict_log_proba(T)

Compute the log likehoods each possible outcomes of samples in T.

The model need to have probability information computed at training time: fit with attribute probability set to True.

Parameters :

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

Returns :

T : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_classes]

Returns the log-probabilities of the sample for each class in the model, where classes are ordered by arithmetical order.

Notes

The probability model is created using cross validation, so the results can be slightly different than those obtained by predict. Also, it will meaningless results on very small datasets.

predict_proba(X)

Compute the likehoods each possible outcomes of samples in T.

The model need to have probability information computed at training time: fit with attribute probability set to True.

Parameters :

Returns :

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

Returns the probability of the sample for each class in the model, where classes are ordered by arithmetical order.

Notes

The probability model is created using cross validation, so the results can be slightly different than those obtained by predict. Also, it will meaningless results on very small datasets.

Training set.

y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

Labels for X.

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 :
