Linear Model trained with L1 prior as regularizer (aka the Lasso)

The optimization objective for Lasso is:

(1 / (2 * n_samples)) * ||y - Xw||^2_2 + alpha * ||w||_1


Technically the Lasso model is optimizing the same objective function as the Elastic Net with l1_ratio=1.0 (no L2 penalty).

Read more in the User Guide.

alpha : float, optional
Constant that multiplies the L1 term. Defaults to 1.0. alpha = 0 is equivalent to an ordinary least square, solved by the LinearRegression object. For numerical reasons, using alpha = 0 with the Lasso object is not advised. Given this, you should use the LinearRegression object.
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, default False
This parameter is ignored when fit_intercept is set to False. If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression by subtracting the mean and dividing by the l2-norm. If you wish to standardize, please use sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler before calling fit on an estimator with normalize=False.
precompute : True | False | array-like, default=False
Whether to use a precomputed Gram matrix to speed up calculations. If set to 'auto' let us decide. The Gram matrix can also be passed as argument. For sparse input this option is always True to preserve sparsity.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
max_iter : int, optional
The maximum number of iterations
tol : float, optional
The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are smaller than tol, the optimization code checks the dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller than tol.
warm_start : bool, optional
When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.
positive : bool, optional
When set to True, forces the coefficients to be positive.
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default None
The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random. Used when selection == ‘random’.
selection : str, default ‘cyclic’
If set to ‘random’, a random coefficient is updated every iteration rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This (setting to ‘random’) often leads to significantly faster convergence especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.
coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) | (n_targets, n_features)
parameter vector (w in the cost function formula)
sparse_coef_ : scipy.sparse matrix, shape (n_features, 1) | (n_targets, n_features)
sparse_coef_ is a readonly property derived from coef_
intercept_ : float | array, shape (n_targets,)
independent term in decision function.
n_iter_ : int | array-like, shape (n_targets,)
number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach the specified tolerance.

>>> clf = linear_model.Lasso(alpha=0.1)

The algorithm used to fit the model is coordinate descent.

To avoid unnecessary memory duplication the X argument of the fit method should be directly passed as a Fortran-contiguous numpy array.

fit(X, y, check_input=True)

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

Fit model with coordinate descent.

X : ndarray or scipy.sparse matrix, (n_samples, n_features)
Data
y : ndarray, shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_targets)
Target. Will be cast to X’s dtype if necessary
check_input : boolean, (default=True)
Allow to bypass several input checking. Don’t use this parameter unless you know what you do.

Coordinate descent is an algorithm that considers each column of data at a time hence it will automatically convert the X input as a Fortran-contiguous numpy array if necessary.

To avoid memory re-allocation it is advised to allocate the initial data in memory directly using that format.

predict(X)

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

Predict using the linear model

X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = (n_samples, n_features)
Samples.
C : array, shape = (n_samples,)
Returns predicted values.
score(X, y, sample_weight=None)

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

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

The coefficient R^2 is defined as (1 - u/v), where u is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_pred) ** 2).sum() and v is the total sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). The best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a R^2 score of 0.0.

X : array-like, shape = (n_samples, n_features)
Test samples.
y : array-like, shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)
True values for X.
sample_weight : array-like, shape = [n_samples], optional
Sample weights.
score : float
R^2 of self.predict(X) wrt. y.
