class ibex.sklearn.linear_model.MultiTaskElasticNetCV(l1_ratio=0.5, eps=0.001, n_alphas=100, alphas=None, fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, max_iter=1000, tol=0.0001, cv=None, copy_X=True, verbose=0, n_jobs=1, random_state=None, selection='cyclic')

Bases: sklearn.linear_model.coordinate_descent.MultiTaskElasticNetCV, ibex._base.FrameMixin

Note

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

Multi-task L1/L2 ElasticNet with built-in cross-validation.

The optimization objective for MultiTaskElasticNet is:

(1 / (2 * n_samples)) * ||Y - XW||^Fro_2
+ alpha * l1_ratio * ||W||_21
+ 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||W||_Fro^2


Where:

||W||_21 = \sum_i \sqrt{\sum_j w_{ij}^2}


i.e. the sum of norm of each row.

Read more in the User Guide.

l1_ratio : float or array of floats
The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with 0 < l1_ratio <= 1. For l1_ratio = 1 the penalty is an L1/L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 0 it is an L2 penalty. For 0 < l1_ratio < 1, the penalty is a combination of L1/L2 and L2. This parameter can be a list, in which case the different values are tested by cross-validation and the one giving the best prediction score is used. Note that a good choice of list of values for l1_ratio is often to put more values close to 1 (i.e. Lasso) and less close to 0 (i.e. Ridge), as in [.1, .5, .7, .9, .95, .99, 1]
eps : float, optional
Length of the path. eps=1e-3 means that alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3.
n_alphas : int, optional
Number of alphas along the regularization path
alphas : array-like, optional
List of alphas where to compute the models. If not provided, set automatically.
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.
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.
cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional

Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:

• None, to use the default 3-fold cross-validation,
• integer, to specify the number of folds.
• An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.
• An iterable yielding train/test splits.

For integer/None inputs, KFold is used.

Refer User Guide for the various cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
verbose : bool or integer
Amount of verbosity.
n_jobs : integer, optional
Number of CPUs to use during the cross validation. If -1, use all the CPUs. Note that this is used only if multiple values for l1_ratio are given.
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.
Independent term in decision function.
coef_ : array, shape (n_tasks, n_features)
Parameter vector (W in the cost function formula). Note that coef_ stores the transpose of W, W.T.
alpha_ : float
The amount of penalization chosen by cross validation
mse_path_ : array, shape (n_alphas, n_folds) or (n_l1_ratio, n_alphas, n_folds)
mean square error for the test set on each fold, varying alpha
alphas_ : numpy array, shape (n_alphas,) or (n_l1_ratio, n_alphas)
The grid of alphas used for fitting, for each l1_ratio
l1_ratio_ : float
best l1_ratio obtained by cross-validation.
n_iter_ : int
number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach the specified tolerance for the optimal alpha.

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)

Note

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

Fit linear model with coordinate descent

Fit is on grid of alphas and best alpha estimated by cross-validation.

X : {array-like}, shape (n_samples, n_features)
Training data. Pass directly as Fortran-contiguous data to avoid unnecessary memory duplication. If y is mono-output, X can be sparse.
y : array-like, shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_targets)
Target values
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.
