Lasso model fit with Lars using BIC or AIC for model selection

The optimization objective for Lasso is:

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


AIC is the Akaike information criterion and BIC is the Bayes Information criterion. Such criteria are useful to select the value of the regularization parameter by making a trade-off between the goodness of fit and the complexity of the model. A good model should explain well the data while being simple.

Read more in the User Guide.

criterion : ‘bic’ | ‘aic’
The type of criterion to use.
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).
verbose : boolean or integer, optional
Sets the verbosity amount
normalize : boolean, optional, default True
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 | ‘auto’ | array-like
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.
max_iter : integer, optional
Maximum number of iterations to perform. Can be used for early stopping.
eps : float, optional
The machine-precision regularization in the computation of the Cholesky diagonal factors. Increase this for very ill-conditioned systems. Unlike the tol parameter in some iterative optimization-based algorithms, this parameter does not control the tolerance of the optimization.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
positive : boolean (default=False)
Restrict coefficients to be >= 0. Be aware that you might want to remove fit_intercept which is set True by default. Under the positive restriction the model coefficients do not converge to the ordinary-least-squares solution for small values of alpha. Only coefficients up to the smallest alpha value (alphas_[alphas_ > 0.].min() when fit_path=True) reached by the stepwise Lars-Lasso algorithm are typically in congruence with the solution of the coordinate descent Lasso estimator. As a consequence using LassoLarsIC only makes sense for problems where a sparse solution is expected and/or reached.
coef_ : array, shape (n_features,)
parameter vector (w in the formulation formula)
intercept_ : float
independent term in decision function.
alpha_ : float
the alpha parameter chosen by the information criterion
n_iter_ : int
number of iterations run by lars_path to find the grid of alphas.
criterion_ : array, shape (n_alphas,)
The value of the information criteria (‘aic’, ‘bic’) across all alphas. The alpha which has the smallest information criterion is chosen. This value is larger by a factor of n_samples compared to Eqns. 2.15 and 2.16 in (Zou et al, 2007).
>>> from sklearn import linear_model
>>> reg = linear_model.LassoLarsIC(criterion='bic')
>>> reg.fit([[-1, 1], [0, 0], [1, 1]], [-1.1111, 0, -1.1111])
...
LassoLarsIC(copy_X=True, criterion='bic', eps=..., fit_intercept=True,
max_iter=500, normalize=True, positive=False, precompute='auto',
verbose=False)
>>> print(reg.coef_)
[ 0.  -1.11...]

fit(X, y, copy_X=True)[source]

Note

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

Fit the model using X, y as training data.

X : array-like, shape (n_samples, n_features)
training data.
y : array-like, shape (n_samples,)
target values. Will be cast to X’s dtype if necessary
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
self : object
returns an instance of self.
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.
