8.20.1. sklearn.naive_bayes.GaussianNB

class sklearn.naive_bayes.GaussianNB

Gaussian Naive Bayes (GaussianNB)

Parameters :

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

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

y : array, shape = [n_samples]

Target vector relative to X

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [-3, -2], [1, 1], [2, 1], [3, 2]])
>>> Y = np.array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2])
>>> from sklearn.naive_bayes import GaussianNB
>>> clf = GaussianNB()
>>> clf.fit(X, Y)
GaussianNB()
>>> print clf.predict([[-0.8, -1]])
[1]

__init__()

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

class_prior

DEPRECATED: GaussianNB.class_prior is deprecated and will be removed in version 0.12. Please use GaussianNB.class_prior_ instead.

fit(X, y)

Fit Gaussian Naive Bayes according to X, y

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.

Returns :

self : object

Returns self.

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for the estimator

Parameters :

deep: boolean, optional :

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

predict(X)

Perform classification on an array of test vectors X.

Parameters :

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

Returns :

C : array, shape = [n_samples]

Predicted target values for X

predict_log_proba(X)

Return log-probability estimates for the test vector X.

Parameters :

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

Returns :

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

Returns the log-probability of the sample for each class in the model, where classes are ordered arithmetically.

predict_proba(X)

Return probability estimates for the test vector X.

Parameters :

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

Returns :

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

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

score(X, y)

Returns the mean accuracy on the given test data and labels.

Parameters :

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

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 :

sigma

DEPRECATED: GaussianNB.sigma is deprecated and will be removed in version 0.12. Please use GaussianNB.sigma_ instead.

theta

DEPRECATED: GaussianNB.theta is deprecated and will be removed in version 0.12. Please use GaussianNB.theta_ instead.
