class mdp.nodes.NIPALSNode

Perform Principal Component Analysis using the NIPALS algorithm. This algorithm is particularyl useful if you have more variable than observations, or in general when the number of variables is huge and calculating a full covariance matrix may be unfeasable. It’s also more efficient of the standard PCANode if you expect the number of significant principal components to be a small. In this case setting output_dim to be a certain fraction of the total variance, say 90%, may be of some help.

class mdp.nodes.FastICANode

Perform Independent Component Analysis using the FastICA algorithm. Note that FastICA is a batch-algorithm. This means that it needs all input data before it can start and compute the ICs. The algorithm is here given as a Node for convenience, but it actually accumulates all inputs it receives. Remember that to avoid running out of memory when you have many components and many time samples.

FastICA does not support the telescope mode (the convergence criterium is not robust in telescope mode).

class mdp.nodes.SFANode

Extract the slowly varying components from the input data. More information about Slow Feature Analysis can be found in Wiskott, L. and Sejnowski, T.J., Slow Feature Analysis: Unsupervised Learning of Invariances, Neural Computation, 14(4):715-770 (2002).

Instance variables of interest

self.avg
Mean of the input data (available after training)
self.sf
Matrix of the SFA filters (available after training)
self.d
Delta values corresponding to the SFA components (generalized eigenvalues). [See the docs of the get_eta_values method for more information]

Special arguments for constructor

include_last_sample

If False the train method discards the last sample in every chunk during training when calculating the covariance matrix. The last sample is in this case only used for calculating the covariance matrix of the derivatives. The switch should be set to False if you plan to train with several small chunks. For example we can split a sequence (index is time):

x_1 x_2 x_3 x_4


in smaller parts like this:

x_1 x_2
x_2 x_3
x_3 x_4


The SFANode will see 3 derivatives for the temporal covariance matrix, and the first 3 points for the spatial covariance matrix. Of course you will need to use a generator that connects the small chunks (the last sample needs to be sent again in the next chunk). If include_last_sample was True, depending on the generator you use, you would either get:

x_1 x_2
x_2 x_3
x_3 x_4


in which case the last sample of every chunk would be used twice when calculating the covariance matrix, or:

x_1 x_2
x_3 x_4


in which case you loose the derivative between x_3 and x_2.

If you plan to train with a single big chunk leave include_last_sample to the default value, i.e. True.

You can even change this behaviour during training. Just set the corresponding switch in the train method.

class mdp.nodes.SFA2Node

Get an input signal, expand it in the space of inhomogeneous polynomials of degree 2 and extract its slowly varying components. The get_quadratic_form method returns the input-output function of one of the learned unit as a QuadraticForm object. See the documentation of mdp.utils.QuadraticForm for additional information.

class mdp.nodes.ISFANode

Internal variables of interest

self.RP
The global rotation-permutation matrix. This is the filter applied on input_data to get output_data
self.RPC
The complete global rotation-permutation matrix. This is a matrix of dimension input_dim x input_dim (the ‘outer space’ is retained)
self.covs

A mdp.utils.MultipleCovarianceMatrices instance containing the current time-delayed covariance matrices of the input_data. After convergence the uppermost output_dim x output_dim submatrices should be almost diagonal.

self.covs[n-1] is the covariance matrix relative to the n-th time-lag

Note: they are not cleared after convergence. If you need to free some memory, you can safely delete them with:

>>> del self.covs

self.initial_contrast
A dictionary with the starting contrast and the SFA and ICA parts of it.
self.final_contrast
Like the above but after convergence.

Note: If you intend to use this node for large datasets please have a look at the stop_training method documentation for speeding things up.

Full API documentation: ISFANode

class mdp.nodes.XSFANode

Perform Non-linear Blind Source Separation using Slow Feature Analysis.

This node is designed to iteratively extract statistically independent sources from (in principle) arbitrary invertible nonlinear mixtures. The method relies on temporal correlations in the sources and consists of a combination of nonlinear SFA and a projection algorithm. More details can be found in the reference given below (once it’s published).

The node has multiple training phases. The number of training phases depends on the number of sources that must be extracted. The recommended way of training this node is through a container flow:

>>> flow = mdp.Flow([XSFANode()])
>>> flow.train(x)


doing so will automatically train all training phases. The argument x to the Flow.train method can be an array or a list of iterables (see the section about Iterators in the MDP tutorial for more info).

If the number of training samples is large, you may run into memory problems: use data iterators and chunk training to reduce memory usage.

If you need to debug training and/or execution of this node, the suggested approach is to use the capabilities of BiMDP. For example:

>>> flow = mdp.Flow([XSFANode()])
>>> tr_filename = bimdp.show_training(flow=flow, data_iterators=x)
>>> ex_filename, out = bimdp.show_execution(flow, x=x)


this will run training and execution with bimdp inspection. Snapshots of the internal flow state for each training phase and execution step will be opened in a web brower and presented as a slideshow.

class mdp.nodes.FDANode

Perform a (generalized) Fisher Discriminant Analysis of its input. It is a supervised node that implements FDA using a generalized eigenvalue approach.

FDANode has two training phases and is supervised so make sure to pay attention to the following points when you train it:

• call the train method with two arguments: the input data and the labels (see the doc string of the train method for details).
• if you are training the node by hand, call the train method twice.
• if you are training the node using a flow (recommended), the only argument to Flow.train must be a list of (data_point, label) tuples or an iterator returning lists of such tuples, not a generator. The Flow.train function can be called just once as usual, since it takes care of rewinding the iterator to perform the second training step.

More information on Fisher Discriminant Analysis can be found for example in C. Bishop, Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition, Oxford Press, pp. 105-112.

Internal variables of interest

self.avg
Mean of the input data (available after training)

Full API documentation: FDANode

class mdp.nodes.FANode

Perform Factor Analysis.

The current implementation should be most efficient for long data sets: the sufficient statistics are collected in the training phase, and all EM-cycles are performed at its end.

In this case, the node is partitioned into a set of observed (visible) variables, a set of hidden (latent) variables, and a set of label variables (also observed), only one of which is active at any time. The node is able to learn associations between the visible variables and the labels.

By default, the execute method returns the probability of one of the hiden variables being equal to 1 given the input.

for i = 1 ... M, minimizes the square error given the training x‘s and y‘s.

This is a supervised learning node, and requires input data x and target data y to be supplied during training (see train docstring).

for anisotropic RBFs.

Full API documentation: RBFExpansionNode

class mdp.nodes.GeneralExpansionNode

Expands the input samples by applying to them one or more functions provided.

The functions to be applied are specified by a list [f_0, ..., f_k], where f_i, for 0 <= i <= k, denotes a particular function. The input data given to these functions is a two-dimensional array and the output is another two-dimensional array. The dimensionality of the output should depend only on the dimensionality of the input. Given a two-dimensional input array x, the output of the node is then [f_0(x), ..., f_k(x)], that is, the concatenation of each one of the computed arrays f_i(x).

This node has been designed to facilitate nonlinear, fixed but arbitrary transformations of the data samples within MDP flows.

Example:

>>> import mdp
>>> from mdp import numx

>>> def identity(x): return x

>>> def u3(x): return numx.absolute(x)**3 #A simple nonlinear transformation

>>> def norm2(x): #Computes the norm of each sample returning an Nx1 array
>>>     return ((x**2).sum(axis=1)**0.5).reshape((-1,1))

>>> x = numx.array([[-2., 2.], [0.2, 0.3], [0.6, 1.2]])
>>> gen = mdp.nodes.GeneralExpansionNode(funcs=[identity, u3, norm2])
>>> print(gen.execute(x))
>>> [[-2.          2.          8.          8.          2.82842712]

class mdp.nodes.EtaComputerNode

Compute the eta values of the normalized training data.

The delta value of a signal is a measure of its temporal variation, and is defined as the mean of the derivative squared, i.e. delta(x) = mean(dx/dt(t)^2). delta(x) is zero if x is a constant signal, and increases if the temporal variation of the signal is bigger.

The eta value is a more intuitive measure of temporal variation, defined as:

eta(x) = T/(2*pi) * sqrt(delta(x))


If x is a signal of length T which consists of a sine function that accomplishes exactly N oscillations, then eta(x)=N.

EtaComputerNode normalizes the training data to have unit variance, such that it is possible to compare the temporal variation of two signals independently from their scaling.

Reference: Wiskott, L. and Sejnowski, T.J. (2002). Slow Feature Analysis: Unsupervised Learning of Invariances, Neural Computation, 14(4):715-770.

Important: if a data chunk is tlen data points long, this node is going to consider only the first tlen-1 points together with their derivatives. This means in particular that the variance of the signal is not computed on all data points. This behavior is compatible with that of SFANode.

This is an analysis node, i.e. the data is analyzed during training and the results are stored internally. Use the method get_eta to access them.

class mdp.nodes.TimeDelaySlidingWindowNode

TimeDelaySlidingWindowNode is an alternative to TimeDelayNode which should be used for online learning/execution. Whereas the TimeDelayNode works in a batch manner, for online application a sliding window is necessary which yields only one row per call.

class mdp.nodes.CutoffNode

Node to cut off values at specified bounds.

Works similar to numpy.clip, but also works when only a lower or upper bound is specified.

Full API documentation: CutoffNode

class mdp.nodes.AdaptiveCutoffNode

Node which uses the data history during training to learn cutoff values.

As opposed to the simple CutoffNode, a different cutoff value is learned for each data coordinate. For example if an upper cutoff fraction of 0.05 is specified, then the upper cutoff bound is set so that the upper 5% of the training data would have been clipped (in each dimension). The cutoff bounds are then applied during execution. This node also works as a HistogramNode, so the histogram data is stored.

When stop_training is called the cutoff values for each coordinate are calculated based on the collected histogram data.

class mdp.nodes.HistogramNode

Node which stores a history of the data during its training phase.

The data history is stored in self.data_hist and can also be deleted to free memory. Alternatively it can be automatically pickled to disk.

Note that data is only stored during training.

Full API documentation: HistogramNode

class mdp.nodes.IdentityNode

Execute returns the input data and the node is not trainable.

This node can be instantiated and is for example useful in complex network layouts.

Full API documentation: IdentityNode

class mdp.nodes.Convolution2DNode

Convolve input data with filter banks.

The filters argument specifies a set of 2D filters that are convolved with the input data during execution. Convolution can be selected to be executed by linear filtering of the data, or in the frequency domain using a Discrete Fourier Transform.

Input data can be given as 3D data, each row being a 2D array to be convolved with the filters, or as 2D data, in which case the input_shape argument must be specified.

This node depends on scipy.

class mdp.nodes.SGDRegressorScikitsLearnNode

Linear model fitted by minimizing a regularized empirical loss with SGD

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.stochastic_gradient.SGDRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

SGD stands for Stochastic Gradient Descent: the gradient of the loss is estimated each sample at a time and the model is updated along the way with a decreasing strength schedule (aka learning rate).

The regularizer is a penalty added to the loss function that shrinks model parameters towards the zero vector using either the squared euclidean norm L2 or the absolute norm L1 or a combination of both (Elastic Net). If the parameter update crosses the 0.0 value because of the regularizer, the update is truncated to 0.0 to allow for learning sparse models and achieve online feature selection.

This implementation works with data represented as dense numpy arrays of floating point values for the features.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

loss : str, ‘squared_loss’, ‘huber’, ‘epsilon_insensitive’, or ‘squared_epsilon_insensitive’
The loss function to be used. Defaults to ‘squared_loss’ which refers to the ordinary least squares fit. ‘huber’ modifies ‘squared_loss’ to focus less on getting outliers correct by switching from squared to linear loss past a distance of epsilon. ‘epsilon_insensitive’ ignores errors less than epsilon and is linear past that; this is the loss function used in SVR. ‘squared_epsilon_insensitive’ is the same but becomes squared loss past a tolerance of epsilon.
penalty : str, ‘none’, ‘l2’, ‘l1’, or ‘elasticnet’
The penalty (aka regularization term) to be used. Defaults to ‘l2’ which is the standard regularizer for linear SVM models. ‘l1’ and ‘elasticnet’ might bring sparsity to the model (feature selection) not achievable with ‘l2’.
alpha : float
Constant that multiplies the regularization term. Defaults to 0.0001 Also used to compute learning_rate when set to ‘optimal’.
l1_ratio : float
The Elastic Net mixing parameter, with 0 <= l1_ratio <= 1. l1_ratio=0 corresponds to L2 penalty, l1_ratio=1 to L1. Defaults to 0.15.
fit_intercept : bool
Whether the intercept should be estimated or not. If False, the data is assumed to be already centered. Defaults to True.
n_iter : int, optional
The number of passes over the training data (aka epochs). The number of iterations is set to 1 if using partial_fit. Defaults to 5.
shuffle : bool, optional
Whether or not the training data should be shuffled after each epoch. Defaults to True.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data.
verbose : integer, optional
The verbosity level.
epsilon : float
Epsilon in the epsilon-insensitive loss functions; only if loss is ‘huber’, ‘epsilon_insensitive’, or ‘squared_epsilon_insensitive’. For ‘huber’, determines the threshold at which it becomes less important to get the prediction exactly right. For epsilon-insensitive, any differences between the current prediction and the correct label are ignored if they are less than this threshold.
learning_rate : string, optional

The learning rate:

• constant: eta = eta0
• optimal: eta = 1.0/(alpha * t)
• invscaling: eta = eta0 / pow(t, power_t) [default]
eta0 : double, optional
The initial learning rate [default 0.01].
power_t : double, optional
The exponent for inverse scaling learning rate [default 0.25].
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.
average : bool or int, optional
When set to True, computes the averaged SGD weights and stores the result in the coef_ attribute. If set to an int greater than 1, averaging will begin once the total number of samples seen reaches average. So average=10 will begin averaging after seeing 10 samples.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape (n_features,)
Weights assigned to the features.
intercept_ : array, shape (1,)
The intercept term.
average_coef_ : array, shape (n_features,)
Averaged weights assigned to the features.
average_intercept_ : array, shape (1,)
The averaged intercept term.

class mdp.nodes.TheilSenRegressorScikitsLearnNode

Theil-Sen Estimator: robust multivariate regression model.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.theil_sen.TheilSenRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

The algorithm calculates least square solutions on subsets with size n_subsamples of the samples in X. Any value of n_subsamples between the number of features and samples leads to an estimator with a compromise between robustness and efficiency. Since the number of least square solutions is “n_samples choose n_subsamples”, it can be extremely large and can therefore be limited with max_subpopulation. If this limit is reached, the subsets are chosen randomly. In a final step, the spatial median (or L1 median) is calculated of all least square solutions.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

fit_intercept : boolean, optional, default True
Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set to false, no intercept will be used in calculations.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
max_subpopulation : int, optional, default 1e4
Instead of computing with a set of cardinality ‘n choose k’, where n is the number of samples and k is the number of subsamples (at least number of features), consider only a stochastic subpopulation of a given maximal size if ‘n choose k’ is larger than max_subpopulation. For other than small problem sizes this parameter will determine memory usage and runtime if n_subsamples is not changed.
n_subsamples : int, optional, default None
Number of samples to calculate the parameters. This is at least the number of features (plus 1 if fit_intercept=True) and the number of samples as a maximum. A lower number leads to a higher breakdown point and a low efficiency while a high number leads to a low breakdown point and a high efficiency. If None, take the minimum number of subsamples leading to maximal robustness. If n_subsamples is set to n_samples, Theil-Sen is identical to least squares.
max_iter : int, optional, default 300
Maximum number of iterations for the calculation of spatial median.
tol : float, optional, default 1.e-3
Tolerance when calculating spatial median.
random_state : RandomState or an int seed, optional, default None
A random number generator instance to define the state of the random permutations generator.
n_jobs : integer, optional, default 1
Number of CPUs to use during the cross validation. If -1, use all the CPUs.
verbose : boolean, optional, default False
Verbose mode when fitting the model.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape = (n_features)
Coefficients of the regression model (median of distribution).
intercept_ : float
Estimated intercept of regression model.
breakdown_ : float
Approximated breakdown point.
n_iter_ : int
Number of iterations needed for the spatial median.
n_subpopulation_ : int
Number of combinations taken into account from ‘n choose k’, where n is the number of samples and k is the number of subsamples.

class mdp.nodes.SparseRandomProjectionScikitsLearnNode

Reduce dimensionality through sparse random projection

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.random_projection.SparseRandomProjection class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Sparse random matrix is an alternative to dense random projection matrix that guarantees similar embedding quality while being much more memory efficient and allowing faster computation of the projected data.

If we note s = 1 / density the components of the random matrix are drawn from:

• -sqrt(s) / sqrt(n_components) with probability 1 / 2s
• 0 with probability 1 - 1 / s
• +sqrt(s) / sqrt(n_components) with probability 1 / 2s

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components : int or ‘auto’, optional (default = ‘auto’)

Dimensionality of the target projection space.

n_components can be automatically adjusted according to the number of samples in the dataset and the bound given by the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. In that case the quality of the embedding is controlled by the eps parameter.

It should be noted that Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma can yield very conservative estimated of the required number of components as it makes no assumption on the structure of the dataset.

density : float in range ]0, 1], optional (default=’auto’)

Ratio of non-zero component in the random projection matrix.

If density = ‘auto’, the value is set to the minimum density as recommended by Ping Li et al.: 1 / sqrt(n_features).

Use density = 1 / 3.0 if you want to reproduce the results from Achlioptas, 2001.

eps : strictly positive float, optional, (default=0.1)

Parameter to control the quality of the embedding according to the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma when n_components is set to ‘auto’.

Smaller values lead to better embedding and higher number of dimensions (n_components) in the target projection space.

dense_output : boolean, optional (default=False)

If True, ensure that the output of the random projection is a dense numpy array even if the input and random projection matrix are both sparse. In practice, if the number of components is small the number of zero components in the projected data will be very small and it will be more CPU and memory efficient to use a dense representation.

If False, the projected data uses a sparse representation if the input is sparse.

random_state : integer, RandomState instance or None (default=None)
Control the pseudo random number generator used to generate the matrix at fit time.

Attributes

n_component_ : int
Concrete number of components computed when n_components=”auto”.
components_ : CSR matrix with shape [n_components, n_features]
Random matrix used for the projection.
density_ : float in range 0.0 - 1.0
Concrete density computed from when density = “auto”.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.coordinate_descent.ElasticNetCV class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

The best model is selected by cross-validation.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

l1_ratio : float or array of floats, optional
float between 0 and 1 passed to ElasticNet (scaling between l1 and l2 penalties). For l1_ratio = 0 the penalty is an L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 1 it is an L1 penalty. For 0 < l1_ratio < 1, the penalty is a combination of L1 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, used for each l1_ratio.
alphas : numpy array, optional
List of alphas where to compute the models. If None alphas are set automatically
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 : 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.

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.
positive : bool, optional
When set to True, forces the coefficients to be positive.
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.
random_state : int, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Useful only when selection is set to ‘random’.
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
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.

Attributes

alpha_ : float
The amount of penalization chosen by cross validation
l1_ratio_ : float
The compromise between l1 and l2 penalization chosen by cross validation
coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) | (n_targets, n_features)
Parameter vector (w in the cost function formula),
intercept_ : float | array, shape (n_targets, n_features)
Independent term in the decision function.
mse_path_ : array, shape (n_l1_ratio, n_alpha, n_folds)
Mean square error for the test set on each fold, varying l1_ratio and alpha.
alphas_ : numpy array, shape (n_alphas,) or (n_l1_ratio, n_alphas)
The grid of alphas used for fitting, for each l1_ratio.
n_iter_ : int
number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach the specified tolerance for the optimal alpha.

Notes

See examples/linear_model/lasso_path_with_crossvalidation.py for an example.

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

The parameter l1_ratio corresponds to alpha in the glmnet R package while alpha corresponds to the lambda parameter in glmnet. More specifically, the optimization objective is:

1 / (2 * n_samples) * ||y - Xw||^2_2 +
+ alpha * l1_ratio * ||w||_1
+ 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||w||^2_2


If you are interested in controlling the L1 and L2 penalty separately, keep in mind that this is equivalent to:

a * L1 + b * L2


for:

alpha = a + b and l1_ratio = a / (a + b).

class mdp.nodes.RidgeClassifierScikitsLearnNode

Classifier using Ridge regression.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.ridge.RidgeClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alpha : float
Small positive values of alpha improve the conditioning of the problem and reduce the variance of the estimates. Alpha corresponds to C^-1 in other linear models such as LogisticRegression or LinearSVC.
class_weight : dict or ‘balanced’, optional

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))

copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
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).
max_iter : int, optional
Maximum number of iterations for conjugate gradient solver. The default value is determined by scipy.sparse.linalg.
normalize : boolean, optional, default False
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
solver : {‘auto’, ‘svd’, ‘cholesky’, ‘lsqr’, ‘sparse_cg’, ‘sag’}

Solver to use in the computational routines:

• ‘auto’ chooses the solver automatically based on the type of data.

• ‘svd’ uses a Singular Value Decomposition of X to compute the Ridge coefficients. More stable for singular matrices than ‘cholesky’.

• ‘cholesky’ uses the standard scipy.linalg.solve function to obtain a closed-form solution.

• ‘sparse_cg’ uses the conjugate gradient solver as found in scipy.sparse.linalg.cg. As an iterative algorithm, this solver is more appropriate than ‘cholesky’ for large-scale data (possibility to set tol and max_iter).

• ‘lsqr’ uses the dedicated regularized least-squares routine scipy.sparse.linalg.lsqr. It is the fatest but may not be available in old scipy versions. It also uses an iterative procedure.

• ‘sag’ uses a Stochastic Average Gradient descent. It also uses an iterative procedure, and is faster than other solvers when both n_samples and n_features are large.

New in version 0.17: Stochastic Average Gradient descent solver.

tol : float
Precision of the solution.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data. Used in ‘sag’ solver.

Attributes

Weight vector(s).
intercept_ : float | array, shape = (n_targets,)
Independent term in decision function. Set to 0.0 if fit_intercept = False.
n_iter_ : array or None, shape (n_targets,)
Actual number of iterations for each target. Available only for sag and lsqr solvers. Other solvers will return None.

Notes

For multi-class classification, n_class classifiers are trained in a one-versus-all approach. Concretely, this is implemented by taking advantage of the multi-variate response support in Ridge.

class mdp.nodes.LinearSVRScikitsLearnNode

Linear Support Vector Regression.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.svm.classes.LinearSVR class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Similar to SVR with parameter kernel=’linear’, but implemented in terms of liblinear rather than libsvm, so it has more flexibility in the choice of penalties and loss functions and should scale better to large numbers of samples.

This class supports both dense and sparse input.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

C : float, optional (default=1.0)
Penalty parameter C of the error term. The penalty is a squared l2 penalty. The bigger this parameter, the less regularization is used.
loss : string, ‘epsilon_insensitive’ or ‘squared_epsilon_insensitive’ (default=’epsilon_insensitive’)
Specifies the loss function. ‘l1’ is the epsilon-insensitive loss (standard SVR) while ‘l2’ is the squared epsilon-insensitive loss.
epsilon : float, optional (default=0.1)
Epsilon parameter in the epsilon-insensitive loss function. Note that the value of this parameter depends on the scale of the target variable y. If unsure, set epsilon=0.
dual : bool, (default=True)
Select the algorithm to either solve the dual or primal optimization problem. Prefer dual=False when n_samples > n_features.
tol : float, optional (default=1e-4)
Tolerance for stopping criteria.
fit_intercept : boolean, optional (default=True)
Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set to false, no intercept will be used in calculations (i.e. data is expected to be already centered).
intercept_scaling : float, optional (default=1)
When self.fit_intercept is True, instance vector x becomes [x, self.intercept_scaling], i.e. a “synthetic” feature with constant value equals to intercept_scaling is appended to the instance vector. The intercept becomes intercept_scaling * synthetic feature weight Note! the synthetic feature weight is subject to l1/l2 regularization as all other features. To lessen the effect of regularization on synthetic feature weight (and therefore on the intercept) intercept_scaling has to be increased.
verbose : int, (default=0)
Enable verbose output. Note that this setting takes advantage of a per-process runtime setting in liblinear that, if enabled, may not work properly in a multithreaded context.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default=None)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data.
max_iter : int, (default=1000)
The maximum number of iterations to be run.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape = [n_features] if n_classes == 2 else [n_classes, n_features]

Weights assigned to the features (coefficients in the primal problem). This is only available in the case of a linear kernel.

coef_ is a readonly property derived from raw_coef_ that follows the internal memory layout of liblinear.

intercept_ : array, shape = [1] if n_classes == 2 else [n_classes]
Constants in decision function.

LinearSVC
Implementation of Support Vector Machine classifier using the same library as this class (liblinear).
SVR

Implementation of Support Vector Machine regression using libsvm:

• the kernel can be non-linear but its SMO algorithm does not
• scale to large number of samples as LinearSVC does.
sklearn.linear_model.SGDRegressor
SGDRegressor can optimize the same cost function as LinearSVR by adjusting the penalty and loss parameters. In addition it requires less memory, allows incremental (online) learning, and implements various loss functions and regularization regimes.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_neighbors : int, optional (default = 5)
Number of neighbors to use by default for k_neighbors() queries.
weights : str or callable

weight function used in prediction. Possible values:

• ‘uniform’ : uniform weights. All points in each neighborhood are weighted equally.
• ‘distance’ : weight points by the inverse of their distance. in this case, closer neighbors of a query point will have a greater influence than neighbors which are further away.
• [callable] : a user-defined function which accepts an array of distances, and returns an array of the same shape containing the weights.

Uniform weights are used by default.

algorithm : {‘auto’, ‘ball_tree’, ‘kd_tree’, ‘brute’}, optional

Algorithm used to compute the nearest neighbors:

• ‘ball_tree’ will use BallTree
• ‘kd_tree’ will use KDTree
• ‘brute’ will use a brute-force search.
• ‘auto’ will attempt to decide the most appropriate algorithm based on the values passed to fit() method.

Note: fitting on sparse input will override the setting of this parameter, using brute force.

leaf_size : int, optional (default = 30)
Leaf size passed to BallTree or KDTree. This can affect the speed of the construction and query, as well as the memory required to store the tree. The optimal value depends on the nature of the problem.
metric : string or DistanceMetric object (default = ‘minkowski’)
the distance metric to use for the tree. The default metric is minkowski, and with p=2 is equivalent to the standard Euclidean metric. See the documentation of the DistanceMetric class for a list of available metrics.
p : integer, optional (default = 2)
Power parameter for the Minkowski metric. When p = 1, this is equivalent to using manhattan_distance (l1), and euclidean_distance (l2) for p = 2. For arbitrary p, minkowski_distance (l_p) is used.
metric_params : dict, optional (default = None)
Additional keyword arguments for the metric function.
n_jobs : int, optional (default = 1)
The number of parallel jobs to run for neighbors search. If -1, then the number of jobs is set to the number of CPU cores. Doesn’t affect fit() method.

>>> y = [0, 0, 1, 1]
>>> from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier
>>> neigh = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=3)
>>> neigh.fit(X, y)

[0]
>>> print(neigh.predict_proba([[0.9]]))
[[ 0.66666667  0.33333333]]


Notes

See Nearest Neighbors in the online documentation for a discussion of the choice of algorithm and leaf_size.

Warning

Regarding the Nearest Neighbors algorithms, if it is found that two neighbors, neighbor k+1 and k, have identical distances but but different labels, the results will depend on the ordering of the training data.

class mdp.nodes.NearestCentroidScikitsLearnNode

Nearest centroid classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.neighbors.nearest_centroid.NearestCentroid class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

class mdp.nodes.ExtraTreeRegressorScikitsLearnNode

An extremely randomized tree regressor.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.tree.tree.ExtraTreeRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Extra-trees differ from classic decision trees in the way they are built. When looking for the best split to separate the samples of a node into two groups, random splits are drawn for each of the max_features randomly selected features and the best split among those is chosen. When max_features is set 1, this amounts to building a totally random decision tree.

Warning: Extra-trees should only be used within ensemble methods.

class mdp.nodes.ExtraTreesClassifierScikitsLearnNode

An extra-trees classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.forest.ExtraTreesClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This class implements a meta estimator that fits a number of randomized decision trees (a.k.a. extra-trees) on various sub-samples of the dataset and use averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_estimators : integer, optional (default=10)
The number of trees in the forest.
criterion : string, optional (default=”gini”)
The function to measure the quality of a split. Supported criteria are “gini” for the Gini impurity and “entropy” for the information gain. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
max_features : int, float, string or None, optional (default=”auto”)

The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:

• If int, then consider max_features features at each split.
• If float, then max_features is a percentage and int(max_features * n_features) features are considered at each split.
• If “auto”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
• If None, then max_features=n_features.

Note: the search for a split does not stop until at least one valid partition of the node samples is found, even if it requires to effectively inspect more than max_features features. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

max_depth : integer or None, optional (default=None)
The maximum depth of the tree. If None, then nodes are expanded until all leaves are pure or until all leaves contain less than min_samples_split samples. Ignored if max_leaf_nodes is not None. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_samples_split : integer, optional (default=2)
The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)

The minimum weighted fraction of the input samples required to be at a leaf node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
max_leaf_nodes : int or None, optional (default=None)
Grow trees with max_leaf_nodes in best-first fashion. Best nodes are defined as relative reduction in impurity. If None then unlimited number of leaf nodes. If not None then max_depth will be ignored. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
bootstrap : boolean, optional (default=False)
Whether bootstrap samples are used when building trees.
oob_score : bool
Whether to use out-of-bag samples to estimate the generalization error.
n_jobs : integer, optional (default=1)
The number of jobs to run in parallel for both fit and predict. If -1, then the number of jobs is set to the number of cores.
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
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.
verbose : int, optional (default=0)
Controls the verbosity of the tree building process.
warm_start : bool, optional (default=False)
When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just fit a whole new forest.

class_weight : dict, list of dicts, “balanced”, “balanced_subsample” or None, optional

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one. For multi-output problems, a list of dicts can be provided in the same order as the columns of y.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))

The “balanced_subsample” mode is the same as “balanced” except that weights are computed based on the bootstrap sample for every tree grown.

For multi-output, the weights of each column of y will be multiplied.

The feature importances (the higher, the more important the feature).
n_features_ : int
The number of features when fit is performed.
n_outputs_ : int
The number of outputs when fit is performed.
oob_score_ : float
Score of the training dataset obtained using an out-of-bag estimate.

class mdp.nodes.GridSearchCVScikitsLearnNode

Exhaustive search over specified parameter values for an estimator.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.grid_search.GridSearchCV class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Important members are fit, predict.

GridSearchCV implements a “fit” and a “score” method. It also implements “predict”, “predict_proba”, “decision_function”, “transform” and “inverse_transform” if they are implemented in the estimator used.

The parameters of the estimator used to apply these methods are optimized by cross-validated grid-search over a parameter grid.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

estimator : estimator object.
A object of that type is instantiated for each grid point. This is assumed to implement the scikit-learn estimator interface. Either estimator needs to provide a score function, or scoring must be passed.
param_grid : dict or list of dictionaries
Dictionary with parameters names (string) as keys and lists of parameter settings to try as values, or a list of such dictionaries, in which case the grids spanned by each dictionary in the list are explored. This enables searching over any sequence of parameter settings.
scoring : string, callable or None, default=None
A string (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y). If None, the score method of the estimator is used.
fit_params : dict, optional
Parameters to pass to the fit method.
n_jobs : int, default=1

Number of jobs to run in parallel.

Changed in version 0.17: Upgraded to joblib 0.9.3.

pre_dispatch : int, or string, optional

Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:

• None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs
• An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned
• A string, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’
iid : boolean, default=True
If True, the data is assumed to be identically distributed across the folds, and the loss minimized is the total loss per sample, and not the mean loss across the folds.
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, if y is binary or multiclass, StratifiedKFold used. If the estimator is a classifier or if y is neither binary nor multiclass, KFold is used.

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

refit : boolean, default=True
Refit the best estimator with the entire dataset. If “False”, it is impossible to make predictions using this GridSearchCV instance after fitting.
verbose : integer
Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages.
error_score : ‘raise’ (default) or numeric
Value to assign to the score if an error occurs in estimator fitting. If set to ‘raise’, the error is raised. If a numeric value is given, FitFailedWarning is raised. This parameter does not affect the refit step, which will always raise the error.

Examples

>>> from sklearn import svm, grid_search, datasets
>>> parameters = {'kernel':('linear', 'rbf'), 'C':[1, 10]}
>>> svr = svm.SVC()
>>> clf = grid_search.GridSearchCV(svr, parameters)
>>> clf.fit(iris.data, iris.target)
...
GridSearchCV(cv=None, error_score=...,
estimator=SVC(C=1.0, cache_size=..., class_weight=..., coef0=...,
decision_function_shape=None, degree=..., gamma=...,
kernel='rbf', max_iter=-1, probability=False,
random_state=None, shrinking=True, tol=...,
verbose=False),
fit_params={}, iid=..., n_jobs=1,
param_grid=..., pre_dispatch=..., refit=...,
scoring=..., verbose=...)


Attributes

grid_scores_ : list of named tuples

Contains scores for all parameter combinations in param_grid. Each entry corresponds to one parameter setting. Each named tuple has the attributes:

• parameters, a dict of parameter settings
• mean_validation_score, the mean score over the cross-validation folds
• cv_validation_scores, the list of scores for each fold
best_estimator_ : estimator
Estimator that was chosen by the search, i.e. estimator which gave highest score (or smallest loss if specified) on the left out data. Not available if refit=False.
best_score_ : float
Score of best_estimator on the left out data.
best_params_ : dict
Parameter setting that gave the best results on the hold out data.
scorer_ : function
Scorer function used on the held out data to choose the best parameters for the model.

Notes

The parameters selected are those that maximize the score of the left out data, unless an explicit score is passed in which case it is used instead.

If n_jobs was set to a value higher than one, the data is copied for each point in the grid (and not n_jobs times). This is done for efficiency reasons if individual jobs take very little time, but may raise errors if the dataset is large and not enough memory is available. A workaround in this case is to set pre_dispatch. Then, the memory is copied only pre_dispatch many times. A reasonable value for pre_dispatch is 2 * n_jobs.

ParameterGrid:

• generates all the combinations of a an hyperparameter grid.

sklearn.cross_validation.train_test_split():

• utility function to split the data into a development set usable
• for fitting a GridSearchCV instance and an evaluation set for
• its final evaluation.

sklearn.metrics.make_scorer():

• Make a scorer from a performance metric or loss function.

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.

The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Useful only when selection is set to ‘random’.
fit_intercept : boolean, default True

By default, it performs Generalized Cross-Validation, which is a form of efficient Leave-One-Out cross-validation.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alphas : numpy array of shape [n_alphas]
Array of alpha values to try. Small positive values of alpha improve the conditioning of the problem and reduce the variance of the estimates. Alpha corresponds to C^-1 in other linear models such as LogisticRegression or LinearSVC.

• None, to use the efficient Leave-One-Out cross-validation
• integer, to specify the number of folds.
• An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.

class mdp.nodes.LinearDiscriminantAnalysisScikitsLearnNode

Linear Discriminant Analysis

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.discriminant_analysis.LinearDiscriminantAnalysis class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

A classifier with a linear decision boundary, generated by fitting class conditional densities to the data and using Bayes’ rule.

The model fits a Gaussian density to each class, assuming that all classes share the same covariance matrix.

The fitted model can also be used to reduce the dimensionality of the input by projecting it to the most discriminative directions.

New in version 0.17: LinearDiscriminantAnalysis.

Changed in version 0.17: Deprecated lda.LDA have been moved to LinearDiscriminantAnalysis.

Parameters

solver : string, optional

Solver to use, possible values:

• ‘svd’: Singular value decomposition (default). Does not compute the
• covariance matrix, therefore this solver is recommended for
• data with a large number of features.
• ‘lsqr’: Least squares solution, can be combined with shrinkage.
• ‘eigen’: Eigenvalue decomposition, can be combined with shrinkage.
shrinkage : string or float, optional

Shrinkage parameter, possible values:

• None: no shrinkage (default).
• ‘auto’: automatic shrinkage using the Ledoit-Wolf lemma.
• float between 0 and 1: fixed shrinkage parameter.

Note that shrinkage works only with ‘lsqr’ and ‘eigen’ solvers.

priors : array, optional, shape (n_classes,)
Class priors.
n_components : int, optional
Number of components (< n_classes - 1) for dimensionality reduction.
store_covariance : bool, optional

Additionally compute class covariance matrix (default False).

New in version 0.17.

tol : float, optional

Intercept term.
covariance_ : array-like, shape (n_features, n_features)
Covariance matrix (shared by all classes).
explained_variance_ratio_ : array, shape (n_components,)
Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components. If n_components is not set then all components are stored and the sum of explained variances is equal to 1.0. Only available when eigen solver is used.
means_ : array-like, shape (n_classes, n_features)
Class means.
priors_ : array-like, shape (n_classes,)

Discriminant Analysis

Notes

The default solver is ‘svd’. It can perform both classification and transform, and it does not rely on the calculation of the covariance matrix. This can be an advantage in situations where the number of features is large. However, the ‘svd’ solver cannot be used with shrinkage.

The ‘lsqr’ solver is an efficient algorithm that only works for classification. It supports shrinkage.

The ‘eigen’ solver is based on the optimization of the between class scatter to within class scatter ratio. It can be used for both classification and transform, and it supports shrinkage. However, the ‘eigen’ solver needs to compute the covariance matrix, so it might not be suitable for situations with a high number of features.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sklearn.discriminant_analysis import LinearDiscriminantAnalysis
>>> X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [-3, -2], [1, 1], [2, 1], [3, 2]])
>>> y = np.array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2])
>>> clf = LinearDiscriminantAnalysis()
>>> clf.fit(X, y)
LinearDiscriminantAnalysis(n_components=None, priors=None, shrinkage=None,

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

missing_values : integer or “NaN”, optional (default=”NaN”)
The placeholder for the missing values. All occurrences of missing_values will be imputed. For missing values encoded as np.nan, use the string value “NaN”.
strategy : string, optional (default=”mean”)

class mdp.nodes.GradientBoostingRegressorScikitsLearnNode

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.gradient_boosting.GradientBoostingRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

GB builds an additive model in a forward stage-wise fashion; it allows for the optimization of arbitrary differentiable loss functions. In each stage a regression tree is fit on the negative gradient of the given loss function.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

loss : {‘ls’, ‘lad’, ‘huber’, ‘quantile’}, optional (default=’ls’)
loss function to be optimized. ‘ls’ refers to least squares regression. ‘lad’ (least absolute deviation) is a highly robust loss function solely based on order information of the input variables. ‘huber’ is a combination of the two. ‘quantile’ allows quantile regression (use alpha to specify the quantile).
learning_rate : float, optional (default=0.1)
learning rate shrinks the contribution of each tree by learning_rate. There is a trade-off between learning_rate and n_estimators.
n_estimators : int (default=100)
The number of boosting stages to perform. Gradient boosting is fairly robust to over-fitting so a large number usually results in better performance.
max_depth : integer, optional (default=3)
maximum depth of the individual regression estimators. The maximum depth limits the number of nodes in the tree. Tune this parameter for best performance; the best value depends on the interaction of the input variables. Ignored if max_leaf_nodes is not None.
min_samples_split : integer, optional (default=2)
The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node.
min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)
The minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node.
min_weight_fraction_leaf : float, optional (default=0.)
The minimum weighted fraction of the input samples required to be at a leaf node.
subsample : float, optional (default=1.0)
The fraction of samples to be used for fitting the individual base learners. If smaller than 1.0 this results in Stochastic Gradient Boosting. subsample interacts with the parameter n_estimators. Choosing subsample < 1.0 leads to a reduction of variance and an increase in bias.
max_features : int, float, string or None, optional (default=None)

The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:

• If int, then consider max_features features at each split.
• If float, then max_features is a percentage and
• int(max_features * n_features) features are considered at each
• split.
• If “auto”, then max_features=n_features.
• If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
• If None, then max_features=n_features.

Choosing max_features < n_features leads to a reduction of variance and an increase in bias.

Note: the search for a split does not stop until at least one valid partition of the node samples is found, even if it requires to effectively inspect more than max_features features.

max_leaf_nodes : int or None, optional (default=None)
Grow trees with max_leaf_nodes in best-first fashion. Best nodes are defined as relative reduction in impurity. If None then unlimited number of leaf nodes.
alpha : float (default=0.9)
The alpha-quantile of the huber loss function and the quantile loss function. Only if loss='huber' or loss='quantile'.
init : BaseEstimator, None, optional (default=None)
An estimator object that is used to compute the initial predictions. init has to provide fit and predict. If None it uses loss.init_estimator.
verbose : int, default: 0
Enable verbose output. If 1 then it prints progress and performance once in a while (the more trees the lower the frequency). If greater than 1 then it prints progress and performance for every tree.
warm_start : bool, default: False
When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
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.
presort : bool or ‘auto’, optional (default=’auto’)

Whether to presort the data to speed up the finding of best splits in fitting. Auto mode by default will use presorting on dense data and default to normal sorting on sparse data. Setting presort to true on sparse data will raise an error.

New in version 0.17: optional parameter presort.

Attributes

feature_importances_ : array, shape = [n_features]
The feature importances (the higher, the more important the feature).
oob_improvement_ : array, shape = [n_estimators]
The improvement in loss (= deviance) on the out-of-bag samples relative to the previous iteration. oob_improvement_[0] is the improvement in loss of the first stage over the init estimator.
train_score_ : array, shape = [n_estimators]
The i-th score train_score_[i] is the deviance (= loss) of the model at iteration i on the in-bag sample. If subsample == 1 this is the deviance on the training data.
loss_ : LossFunction
The concrete LossFunction object.
init : BaseEstimator
The estimator that provides the initial predictions. Set via the init argument or loss.init_estimator.
estimators_ : ndarray of DecisionTreeRegressor, shape = [n_estimators, 1]
The collection of fitted sub-estimators.

class mdp.nodes.PLSCanonicalScikitsLearnNode

PLSCanonical implements the 2 blocks canonical PLS of the original Wold algorithm [Tenenhaus 1998] p.204, referred as PLS-C2A in [Wegelin 2000].

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.cross_decomposition.pls_.PLSCanonical class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This class inherits from PLS with mode=”A” and deflation_mode=”canonical”, norm_y_weights=True and algorithm=”nipals”, but svd should provide similar results up to numerical errors.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

scale : boolean, scale data? (default True)

algorithm : string, “nipals” or “svd”
The algorithm used to estimate the weights. It will be called n_components times, i.e. once for each iteration of the outer loop.
max_iter : an integer, (default 500)
the maximum number of iterations of the NIPALS inner loop (used only if algorithm=”nipals”)
tol : non-negative real, default 1e-06
the tolerance used in the iterative algorithm
copy : boolean, default True
Whether the deflation should be done on a copy. Let the default value to True unless you don’t care about side effect

n_components : int, number of components to keep. (default 2).

Attributes

x_weights_ : array, shape = [p, n_components]
X block weights vectors.
y_weights_ : array, shape = [q, n_components]
Y block weights vectors.
x_loadings_ : array, shape = [p, n_components]
y_loadings_ : array, shape = [q, n_components]
x_scores_ : array, shape = [n_samples, n_components]
X scores.
y_scores_ : array, shape = [n_samples, n_components]
Y scores.
x_rotations_ : array, shape = [p, n_components]
X block to latents rotations.
y_rotations_ : array, shape = [q, n_components]
Y block to latents rotations.
n_iter_ : array-like
Number of iterations of the NIPALS inner loop for each component. Not useful if the algorithm provided is “svd”.

Notes

Matrices:

T: x_scores_
U: y_scores_
W: x_weights_
C: y_weights_
P: x_loadings_
Q: y_loadings__


Are computed such that:

X = T P.T + Err and Y = U Q.T + Err
T[:, k] = Xk W[:, k] for k in range(n_components)
U[:, k] = Yk C[:, k] for k in range(n_components)
x_rotations_ = W (P.T W)^(-1)
y_rotations_ = C (Q.T C)^(-1)


where Xk and Yk are residual matrices at iteration k.

Slides explaining PLS <http://www.eigenvector.com/Docs/Wise_pls_properties.pdf>

For each component k, find weights u, v that optimize:

max corr(Xk u, Yk v) * std(Xk u) std(Yk u), such that |u| = |v| = 1


Note that it maximizes both the correlations between the scores and the intra-block variances.

The residual matrix of X (Xk+1) block is obtained by the deflation on the current X score: x_score.

The residual matrix of Y (Yk+1) block is obtained by deflation on the current Y score. This performs a canonical symmetric version of the PLS regression. But slightly different than the CCA. This is mostly used for modeling.

This implementation provides the same results that the “plspm” package provided in the R language (R-project), using the function plsca(X, Y). Results are equal or collinear with the function pls(..., mode = "canonical") of the “mixOmics” package. The difference relies in the fact that mixOmics implementation does not exactly implement the Wold algorithm since it does not normalize y_weights to one.

>>> from sklearn.cross_decomposition import PLSCanonical
>>> X = [[0., 0., 1.], [1.,0.,0.], [2.,2.,2.], [2.,5.,4.]]
>>> Y = [[0.1, -0.2], [0.9, 1.1], [6.2, 5.9], [11.9, 12.3]]
>>> plsca = PLSCanonical(n_components=2)
>>> plsca.fit(X, Y)
...
PLSCanonical(algorithm='nipals', copy=True, max_iter=500, n_components=2,
scale=True, tol=1e-06)
>>> X_c, Y_c = plsca.transform(X, Y)

class mdp.nodes.FeatureAgglomerationScikitsLearnNode

Agglomerate features.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.cluster.hierarchical.FeatureAgglomeration class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Similar to AgglomerativeClustering, but recursively merges features instead of samples.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_clusters : int, default 2
The number of clusters to find.
connectivity : array-like or callable, optional
Connectivity matrix. Defines for each feature the neighboring features following a given structure of the data. This can be a connectivity matrix itself or a callable that transforms the data into a connectivity matrix, such as derived from kneighbors_graph. Default is None, i.e, the hierarchical clustering algorithm is unstructured.
affinity : string or callable, default “euclidean”
Metric used to compute the linkage. Can be “euclidean”, “l1”, “l2”, “manhattan”, “cosine”, or ‘precomputed’. If linkage is “ward”, only “euclidean” is accepted.
memory : Instance of joblib.Memory or string, optional
Used to cache the output of the computation of the tree. By default, no caching is done. If a string is given, it is the path to the caching directory.
n_components : int (optional)
Number of connected components. If None the number of connected components is estimated from the connectivity matrix. NOTE: This parameter is now directly determined from the connectivity matrix and will be removed in 0.18
compute_full_tree : bool or ‘auto’, optional, default “auto”
Stop early the construction of the tree at n_clusters. This is useful to decrease computation time if the number of clusters is not small compared to the number of features. This option is useful only when specifying a connectivity matrix. Note also that when varying the number of clusters and using caching, it may be advantageous to compute the full tree.
linkage : {“ward”, “complete”, “average”}, optional, default “ward”

Which linkage criterion to use. The linkage criterion determines which distance to use between sets of features. The algorithm will merge the pairs of cluster that minimize this criterion.

• ward minimizes the variance of the clusters being merged.
• average uses the average of the distances of each feature of the two sets.
• complete or maximum linkage uses the maximum distances between all features of the two sets.
pooling_func : callable, default np.mean
This combines the values of agglomerated features into a single value, and should accept an array of shape [M, N] and the keyword argument axis=1, and reduce it to an array of size [M].

Attributes

labels_ : array-like, (n_features,)
cluster labels for each feature.
n_leaves_ : int
Number of leaves in the hierarchical tree.
n_components_ : int
The estimated number of connected components in the graph.
children_ : array-like, shape (n_nodes-1, 2)
The children of each non-leaf node. Values less than n_features correspond to leaves of the tree which are the original samples. A node i greater than or equal to n_features is a non-leaf node and has children children_[i - n_features]. Alternatively at the i-th iteration, children[i][0] and children[i][1] are merged to form node n_features + i

Scores of features.
pvalues_ : array-like, shape=(n_features,)
p-values of feature scores.

Notes

Ties between features with equal scores will be broken in an unspecified way.

f_classif: ANOVA F-value between labe/feature for classification tasks. chi2: Chi-squared stats of non-negative features for classification tasks. f_regression: F-value between label/feature for regression tasks. SelectKBest: Select features based on the k highest scores. SelectFpr: Select features based on a false positive rate test. SelectFdr: Select features based on an estimated false discovery rate. SelectFwe: Select features based on family-wise error rate. GenericUnivariateSelect: Univariate feature selector with configurable mode.

class mdp.nodes.RandomForestRegressorScikitsLearnNode

A random forest regressor.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.forest.RandomForestRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

A random forest is a meta estimator that fits a number of classifying decision trees on various sub-samples of the dataset and use averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting.

Parameters

n_estimators : integer, optional (default=10)
The number of trees in the forest.
criterion : string, optional (default=”mse”)
The function to measure the quality of a split. The only supported criterion is “mse” for the mean squared error. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

• If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
• If None, then max_features=n_features.

The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)

Parameters

eps : float, optional
Length of the path. eps=1e-3 means that alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3.

List of alphas where to compute the models. If not provided, set automaticlly.
n_alphas : int, optional
Number of alphas along the regularization path

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.

class mdp.nodes.OutputCodeClassifierScikitsLearnNode

(Error-Correcting) Output-Code multiclass strategy

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.multiclass.OutputCodeClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Output-code based strategies consist in representing each class with a binary code (an array of 0s and 1s). At fitting time, one binary classifier per bit in the code book is fitted. At prediction time, the classifiers are used to project new points in the class space and the class closest to the points is chosen. The main advantage of these strategies is that the number of classifiers used can be controlled by the user, either for compressing the model (0 < code_size < 1) or for making the model more robust to errors (code_size > 1). See the documentation for more details.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

estimator : estimator object
An estimator object implementing fit and one of decision_function or predict_proba.
code_size : float
Percentage of the number of classes to be used to create the code book. A number between 0 and 1 will require fewer classifiers than one-vs-the-rest. A number greater than 1 will require more classifiers than one-vs-the-rest.
random_state : numpy.RandomState, optional
The generator used to initialize the codebook. Defaults to numpy.random.
n_jobs : int, optional, default: 1
The number of jobs to use for the computation. If -1 all CPUs are used. If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, which is useful for debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used.

Attributes

estimators_ : list of int(n_classes * code_size) estimators
Estimators used for predictions.
classes_ : numpy array of shape [n_classes]
Array containing labels.
code_book_ : numpy array of shape [n_classes, code_size]
Binary array containing the code of each class.

class mdp.nodes.MaxAbsScalerScikitsLearnNode

Scale each feature by its maximum absolute value.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.MaxAbsScaler class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This estimator scales and translates each feature individually such that the maximal absolute value of each feature in the training set will be 1.0. It does not shift/center the data, and thus does not destroy any sparsity.

This scaler can also be applied to sparse CSR or CSC matrices.

New in version 0.17.

Parameters

copy : boolean, optional, default is True
Set to False to perform inplace scaling and avoid a copy (if the input is already a numpy array).

Attributes

scale_ : ndarray, shape (n_features,)

Per feature relative scaling of the data.

New in version 0.17: scale_ attribute.

max_abs_ : ndarray, shape (n_features,)
Per feature maximum absolute value.
n_samples_seen_ : int

class mdp.nodes.HashingVectorizerScikitsLearnNode

Convert a collection of text documents to a matrix of token occurrences

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_extraction.text.HashingVectorizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

It turns a collection of text documents into a scipy.sparse matrix holding token occurrence counts (or binary occurrence information), possibly normalized as token frequencies if norm=’l1’ or projected on the euclidean unit sphere if norm=’l2’.

This text vectorizer implementation uses the hashing trick to find the token string name to feature integer index mapping.

• it is very low memory scalable to large datasets as there is no need to store a vocabulary dictionary in memory
• it is fast to pickle and un-pickle as it holds no state besides the constructor parameters
• it can be used in a streaming (partial fit) or parallel pipeline as there is no state computed during fit.

There are also a couple of cons (vs using a CountVectorizer with an in-memory vocabulary):

• there is no way to compute the inverse transform (from feature indices to string feature names) which can be a problem when trying to introspect which features are most important to a model.
• there can be collisions: distinct tokens can be mapped to the same feature index. However in practice this is rarely an issue if n_features is large enough (e.g. 2 ** 18 for text classification problems).
• no IDF weighting as this would render the transformer stateful.

The hash function employed is the signed 32-bit version of Murmurhash3.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

input : string {‘filename’, ‘file’, ‘content’}

If ‘filename’, the sequence passed as an argument to fit is expected to be a list of filenames that need reading to fetch the raw content to analyze.

If ‘file’, the sequence items must have a ‘read’ method (file-like object) that is called to fetch the bytes in memory.

Otherwise the input is expected to be the sequence strings or bytes items are expected to be analyzed directly.

encoding : string, default=’utf-8’
If bytes or files are given to analyze, this encoding is used to decode.
decode_error : {‘strict’, ‘ignore’, ‘replace’}
Instruction on what to do if a byte sequence is given to analyze that contains characters not of the given encoding. By default, it is ‘strict’, meaning that a UnicodeDecodeError will be raised. Other values are ‘ignore’ and ‘replace’.
strip_accents : {‘ascii’, ‘unicode’, None}
Remove accents during the preprocessing step. ‘ascii’ is a fast method that only works on characters that have an direct ASCII mapping. ‘unicode’ is a slightly slower method that works on any characters. None (default) does nothing.
analyzer : string, {‘word’, ‘char’, ‘char_wb’} or callable

Whether the feature should be made of word or character n-grams. Option ‘char_wb’ creates character n-grams only from text inside word boundaries.

If a callable is passed it is used to extract the sequence of features out of the raw, unprocessed input.

preprocessor : callable or None (default)
Override the preprocessing (string transformation) stage while preserving the tokenizing and n-grams generation steps.
tokenizer : callable or None (default)
Override the string tokenization step while preserving the preprocessing and n-grams generation steps. Only applies if analyzer == 'word'.
ngram_range : tuple (min_n, max_n), default=(1, 1)
The lower and upper boundary of the range of n-values for different n-grams to be extracted. All values of n such that min_n <= n <= max_n will be used.
stop_words : string {‘english’}, list, or None (default)

If ‘english’, a built-in stop word list for English is used.

If a list, that list is assumed to contain stop words, all of which will be removed from the resulting tokens. Only applies if analyzer == 'word'.

lowercase : boolean, default=True
Convert all characters to lowercase before tokenizing.
token_pattern : string
Regular expression denoting what constitutes a “token”, only used if analyzer == 'word'. The default regexp selects tokens of 2 or more alphanumeric characters (punctuation is completely ignored and always treated as a token separator).
n_features : integer, default=(2 ** 20)
The number of features (columns) in the output matrices. Small numbers of features are likely to cause hash collisions, but large numbers will cause larger coefficient dimensions in linear learners.
norm : ‘l1’, ‘l2’ or None, optional
Norm used to normalize term vectors. None for no normalization.
binary: boolean, default=False.
If True, all non zero counts are set to 1. This is useful for discrete probabilistic models that model binary events rather than integer counts.
dtype: type, optional
Type of the matrix returned by fit_transform() or transform().
non_negative : boolean, default=False
Whether output matrices should contain non-negative values only; effectively calls abs on the matrix prior to returning it. When True, output values can be interpreted as frequencies. When False, output values will have expected value zero.

class mdp.nodes.LogisticRegressionCVScikitsLearnNode

Logistic Regression CV (aka logit, MaxEnt) classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.logistic.LogisticRegressionCV class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This class implements logistic regression using liblinear, newton-cg, sag of lbfgs optimizer. The newton-cg, sag and lbfgs solvers support only L2 regularization with primal formulation. The liblinear solver supports both L1 and L2 regularization, with a dual formulation only for the L2 penalty.

For the grid of Cs values (that are set by default to be ten values in a logarithmic scale between 1e-4 and 1e4), the best hyperparameter is selected by the cross-validator StratifiedKFold, but it can be changed using the cv parameter. In the case of newton-cg and lbfgs solvers, we warm start along the path i.e guess the initial coefficients of the present fit to be the coefficients got after convergence in the previous fit, so it is supposed to be faster for high-dimensional dense data.

For a multiclass problem, the hyperparameters for each class are computed using the best scores got by doing a one-vs-rest in parallel across all folds and classes. Hence this is not the true multinomial loss.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

Cs : list of floats | int
Each of the values in Cs describes the inverse of regularization strength. If Cs is as an int, then a grid of Cs values are chosen in a logarithmic scale between 1e-4 and 1e4. Like in support vector machines, smaller values specify stronger regularization.
fit_intercept : bool, default: True
Specifies if a constant (a.k.a. bias or intercept) should be added to the decision function.
class_weight : dict or ‘balanced’, optional

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))

Note that these weights will be multiplied with sample_weight (passed through the fit method) if sample_weight is specified.

New in version 0.17: class_weight == ‘balanced’

cv : integer or cross-validation generator
The default cross-validation generator used is Stratified K-Folds. If an integer is provided, then it is the number of folds used. See the module sklearn.cross_validation module for the list of possible cross-validation objects.
penalty : str, ‘l1’ or ‘l2’
Used to specify the norm used in the penalization. The newton-cg and lbfgs solvers support only l2 penalties.
dual : bool
Dual or primal formulation. Dual formulation is only implemented for l2 penalty with liblinear solver. Prefer dual=False when n_samples > n_features.
scoring : callabale
Scoring function to use as cross-validation criteria. For a list of scoring functions that can be used, look at sklearn.metrics. The default scoring option used is accuracy_score.
solver : {‘newton-cg’, ‘lbfgs’, ‘liblinear’, ‘sag’}

Algorithm to use in the optimization problem.

• For small datasets, ‘liblinear’ is a good choice, whereas ‘sag’ is

faster for large ones.

• For multiclass problems, only ‘newton-cg’ and ‘lbfgs’ handle

multinomial loss; ‘sag’ and ‘liblinear’ are limited to one-versus-rest schemes.

• ‘newton-cg’, ‘lbfgs’ and ‘sag’ only handle L2 penalty.

• ‘liblinear’ might be slower in LogisticRegressionCV because it does

not handle warm-starting.

tol : float, optional
Tolerance for stopping criteria.
max_iter : int, optional
Maximum number of iterations of the optimization algorithm.
n_jobs : int, optional
Number of CPU cores used during the cross-validation loop. If given a value of -1, all cores are used.
verbose : int
For the ‘liblinear’, ‘sag’ and ‘lbfgs’ solvers set verbose to any positive number for verbosity.
refit : bool
If set to True, the scores are averaged across all folds, and the coefs and the C that corresponds to the best score is taken, and a final refit is done using these parameters. Otherwise the coefs, intercepts and C that correspond to the best scores across folds are averaged.
multi_class : str, {‘ovr’, ‘multinomial’}
Multiclass option can be either ‘ovr’ or ‘multinomial’. If the option chosen is ‘ovr’, then a binary problem is fit for each label. Else the loss minimised is the multinomial loss fit across the entire probability distribution. Works only for ‘lbfgs’ and ‘newton-cg’ solvers.
intercept_scaling : float, default 1.
Useful only if solver is liblinear. This parameter is useful only when the solver ‘liblinear’ is used and self.fit_intercept is set to True. In this case, x becomes [x, self.intercept_scaling], i.e. a “synthetic” feature with constant value equals to intercept_scaling is appended to the instance vector. The intercept becomes intercept_scaling * synthetic feature weight Note! the synthetic feature weight is subject to l1/l2 regularization as all other features. To lessen the effect of regularization on synthetic feature weight (and therefore on the intercept) intercept_scaling has to be increased.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape (1, n_features) or (n_classes, n_features)

Coefficient of the features in the decision function.

coef_ is of shape (1, n_features) when the given problem is binary. coef_ is readonly property derived from raw_coef_ that follows the internal memory layout of liblinear.

intercept_ : array, shape (1,) or (n_classes,)
Intercept (a.k.a. bias) added to the decision function. It is available only when parameter intercept is set to True and is of shape(1,) when the problem is binary.
Cs_ : array
Array of C i.e. inverse of regularization parameter values used for cross-validation.
coefs_paths_ : array, shape (n_folds, len(Cs_), n_features) or (n_folds, len(Cs_), n_features + 1)
dict with classes as the keys, and the path of coefficients obtained during cross-validating across each fold and then across each Cs after doing an OvR for the corresponding class as values. If the ‘multi_class’ option is set to ‘multinomial’, then the coefs_paths are the coefficients corresponding to each class. Each dict value has shape (n_folds, len(Cs_), n_features) or (n_folds, len(Cs_), n_features + 1) depending on whether the intercept is fit or not.
scores_ : dict
dict with classes as the keys, and the values as the grid of scores obtained during cross-validating each fold, after doing an OvR for the corresponding class. If the ‘multi_class’ option given is ‘multinomial’ then the same scores are repeated across all classes, since this is the multinomial class. Each dict value has shape (n_folds, len(Cs))
C_ : array, shape (n_classes,) or (n_classes - 1,)
Array of C that maps to the best scores across every class. If refit is set to False, then for each class, the best C is the average of the C’s that correspond to the best scores for each fold.
n_iter_ : array, shape (n_classes, n_folds, n_cs) or (1, n_folds, n_cs)
Actual number of iterations for all classes, folds and Cs. In the binary or multinomial cases, the first dimension is equal to 1.

class mdp.nodes.SVCScikitsLearnNode

C-Support Vector Classification.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.svm.classes.SVC class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

The implementation is based on libsvm. The fit time complexity is more than quadratic with the number of samples which makes it hard to scale to dataset with more than a couple of 10000 samples.

The multiclass support is handled according to a one-vs-one scheme.

For details on the precise mathematical formulation of the provided kernel functions and how gamma, coef0 and degree affect each other, see the corresponding section in the narrative documentation:

svm_kernels.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

C : float, optional (default=1.0)
Penalty parameter C of the error term.
kernel : string, optional (default=’rbf’)
Specifies the kernel type to be used in the algorithm. It must be one of ‘linear’, ‘poly’, ‘rbf’, ‘sigmoid’, ‘precomputed’ or a callable. If none is given, ‘rbf’ will be used.

degree : int, optional (default=3)
Degree of the polynomial kernel function (‘poly’). Ignored by all other kernels.
gamma : float, optional (default=’auto’)
Kernel coefficient for ‘rbf’, ‘poly’ and ‘sigmoid’. If gamma is ‘auto’ then 1/n_features will be used instead.
coef0 : float, optional (default=0.0)
Independent term in kernel function. It is only significant in ‘poly’ and ‘sigmoid’.
probability : boolean, optional (default=False)
Whether to enable probability estimates. This must be enabled prior to calling fit, and will slow down that method.

Tolerance for stopping criterion.
cache_size : float, optional
Specify the size of the kernel cache (in MB).

verbose : bool, default: False
Enable verbose output. Note that this setting takes advantage of a per-process runtime setting in libsvm that, if enabled, may not work properly in a multithreaded context.
max_iter : int, optional (default=-1)
Hard limit on iterations within solver, or -1 for no limit.
decision_function_shape : ‘ovo’, ‘ovr’ or None, default=None

Whether to return a one-vs-rest (‘ovr’) ecision function of shape (n_samples, n_classes) as all other classifiers, or the original one-vs-one (‘ovo’) decision function of libsvm which has shape (n_samples, n_classes * (n_classes - 1) / 2). The default of None will currently behave as ‘ovo’ for backward compatibility and raise a deprecation warning, but will change ‘ovr’ in 0.18.

New in version 0.17: decision_function_shape=’ovr’ is recommended.

Changed in version 0.17: Deprecated decision_function_shape=’ovo’ and None.

class mdp.nodes.DictVectorizerScikitsLearnNode

Transforms lists of feature-value mappings to vectors.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_extraction.dict_vectorizer.DictVectorizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This transformer turns lists of mappings (dict-like objects) of feature names to feature values into Numpy arrays or scipy.sparse matrices for use with scikit-learn estimators.

When feature values are strings, this transformer will do a binary one-hot (aka one-of-K) coding: one boolean-valued feature is constructed for each of the possible string values that the feature can take on. For instance, a feature “f” that can take on the values “ham” and “spam” will become two features in the output, one signifying “f=ham”, the other “f=spam”.

Features that do not occur in a sample (mapping) will have a zero value in the resulting array/matrix.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

dtype : callable, optional
The type of feature values. Passed to Numpy array/scipy.sparse matrix constructors as the dtype argument.
separator: string, optional
Separator string used when constructing new features for one-hot coding.
sparse: boolean, optional.
Whether transform should produce scipy.sparse matrices. True by default.
sort: boolean, optional.
Whether feature_names_ and vocabulary_ should be sorted when fitting. True by default.

Attributes

vocabulary_ : dict
A dictionary mapping feature names to feature indices.
feature_names_ : list
A list of length n_features containing the feature names (e.g., “f=ham” and “f=spam”).

Examples

>>> from sklearn.feature_extraction import DictVectorizer
>>> v = DictVectorizer(sparse=False)
>>> D = [{'foo': 1, 'bar': 2}, {'foo': 3, 'baz': 1}]
>>> X = v.fit_transform(D)
>>> X
array([[ 2.,  0.,  1.],
[ 0.,  1.,  3.]])
>>> v.inverse_transform(X) ==         [{'bar': 2.0, 'foo': 1.0}, {'baz': 1.0, 'foo': 3.0}]
True
>>> v.transform({'foo': 4, 'unseen_feature': 3})
array([[ 0.,  0.,  4.]])

class mdp.nodes.LinearSVCScikitsLearnNode

Linear Support Vector Classification.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.svm.classes.LinearSVC class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Similar to SVC with parameter kernel=’linear’, but implemented in terms of liblinear rather than libsvm, so it has more flexibility in the choice of penalties and loss functions and should scale better to large numbers of samples.

This class supports both dense and sparse input and the multiclass support is handled according to a one-vs-the-rest scheme.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

C : float, optional (default=1.0)
Penalty parameter C of the error term.
loss : string, ‘hinge’ or ‘squared_hinge’ (default=’squared_hinge’)
Specifies the loss function. ‘hinge’ is the standard SVM loss (used e.g. by the SVC class) while ‘squared_hinge’ is the square of the hinge loss.
penalty : string, ‘l1’ or ‘l2’ (default=’l2’)
Specifies the norm used in the penalization. The ‘l2’ penalty is the standard used in SVC. The ‘l1’ leads to coef_ vectors that are sparse.
dual : bool, (default=True)
Select the algorithm to either solve the dual or primal optimization problem. Prefer dual=False when n_samples > n_features.
tol : float, optional (default=1e-4)
Tolerance for stopping criteria.
multi_class: string, ‘ovr’ or ‘crammer_singer’ (default=’ovr’)
Determines the multi-class strategy if y contains more than two classes. "ovr" trains n_classes one-vs-rest classifiers, while "crammer_singer" optimizes a joint objective over all classes. While crammer_singer is interesting from a theoretical perspective as it is consistent, it is seldom used in practice as it rarely leads to better accuracy and is more expensive to compute. If "crammer_singer" is chosen, the options loss, penalty and dual will be ignored.
fit_intercept : boolean, optional (default=True)
Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set to false, no intercept will be used in calculations (i.e. data is expected to be already centered).
intercept_scaling : float, optional (default=1)
When self.fit_intercept is True, instance vector x becomes [x, self.intercept_scaling], i.e. a “synthetic” feature with constant value equals to intercept_scaling is appended to the instance vector. The intercept becomes intercept_scaling * synthetic feature weight Note! the synthetic feature weight is subject to l1/l2 regularization as all other features. To lessen the effect of regularization on synthetic feature weight (and therefore on the intercept) intercept_scaling has to be increased.
class_weight : {dict, ‘balanced’}, 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 “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))
verbose : int, (default=0)
Enable verbose output. Note that this setting takes advantage of a per-process runtime setting in liblinear that, if enabled, may not work properly in a multithreaded context.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default=None)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data.
max_iter : int, (default=1000)
The maximum number of iterations to be run.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape = [n_features] if n_classes == 2 else [n_classes, n_features]

Weights assigned to the features (coefficients in the primal problem). This is only available in the case of a linear kernel.

coef_ is a readonly property derived from raw_coef_ that follows the internal memory layout of liblinear.

intercept_ : array, shape = [1] if n_classes == 2 else [n_classes]
Constants in decision function.

Notes

The underlying C implementation uses a random number generator to select features when fitting the model. It is thus not uncommon to have slightly different results for the same input data. If that happens, try with a smaller tol parameter.

The underlying implementation, liblinear, uses a sparse internal representation for the data that will incur a memory copy.

Predict output may not match that of standalone liblinear in certain cases. See differences from liblinear in the narrative documentation.

LIBLINEAR: A Library for Large Linear Classification

SVC

Implementation of Support Vector Machine classifier using libsvm:

• the kernel can be non-linear but its SMO algorithm does not
• scale to large number of samples as LinearSVC does.

Furthermore SVC multi-class mode is implemented using one vs one scheme while LinearSVC uses one vs the rest. It is possible to implement one vs the rest with SVC by using the sklearn.multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier wrapper.

Finally SVC can fit dense data without memory copy if the input is C-contiguous. Sparse data will still incur memory copy though.

sklearn.linear_model.SGDClassifier
SGDClassifier can optimize the same cost function as LinearSVC by adjusting the penalty and loss parameters. In addition it requires less memory, allows incremental (online) learning, and implements various loss functions and regularization regimes.

Randomized Lasso.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.randomized_l1.RandomizedLasso class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Randomized Lasso works by resampling the train data and computing a Lasso on each resampling. In short, the features selected more often are good features. It is also known as stability selection.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alpha : float, ‘aic’, or ‘bic’, optional
The regularization parameter alpha parameter in the Lasso. Warning: this is not the alpha parameter in the stability selection article which is scaling.
scaling : float, optional
The alpha parameter in the stability selection article used to randomly scale the features. Should be between 0 and 1.
sample_fraction : float, optional
The fraction of samples to be used in each randomized design. Should be between 0 and 1. If 1, all samples are used.
n_resampling : int, optional
Number of randomized models.
selection_threshold: float, optional
The score above which features should be selected.
fit_intercept : boolean, optional
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
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
precompute : True | False | ‘auto’
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 in the Lars algorithm.
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.
n_jobs : integer, optional
Number of CPUs to use during the resampling. If ‘-1’, use all the CPUs
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
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.
pre_dispatch : int, or string, optional

Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:

• None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs
• An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned
• A string, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’
memory : Instance of joblib.Memory or string
Used for internal caching. By default, no caching is done. If a string is given, it is the path to the caching directory.

Attributes

scores_ : array, shape = [n_features]
Feature scores between 0 and 1.
all_scores_ : array, shape = [n_features, n_reg_parameter]
Feature scores between 0 and 1 for all values of the regularization parameter. The reference article suggests scores_ is the max of all_scores_.

class mdp.nodes.KernelRidgeScikitsLearnNode

Kernel ridge regression.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.kernel_ridge.KernelRidge class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Kernel ridge regression (KRR) combines ridge regression (linear least squares with l2-norm regularization) with the kernel trick. It thus learns a linear function in the space induced by the respective kernel and the data. For non-linear kernels, this corresponds to a non-linear function in the original space.

The form of the model learned by KRR is identical to support vector regression (SVR). However, different loss functions are used: KRR uses squared error loss while support vector regression uses epsilon-insensitive loss, both combined with l2 regularization. In contrast to SVR, fitting a KRR model can be done in closed-form and is typically faster for medium-sized datasets. On the other hand, the learned model is non-sparse and thus slower than SVR, which learns a sparse model for epsilon > 0, at prediction-time.

This estimator has built-in support for multi-variate regression (i.e., when y is a 2d-array of shape [n_samples, n_targets]).

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alpha : {float, array-like}, shape = [n_targets]
Small positive values of alpha improve the conditioning of the problem and reduce the variance of the estimates. Alpha corresponds to (2*C)^-1 in other linear models such as LogisticRegression or LinearSVC. If an array is passed, penalties are assumed to be specific to the targets. Hence they must correspond in number.
kernel : string or callable, default=”linear”
Kernel mapping used internally. A callable should accept two arguments and the keyword arguments passed to this object as kernel_params, and should return a floating point number.
gamma : float, default=None
Gamma parameter for the RBF, laplacian, polynomial, exponential chi2 and sigmoid kernels. Interpretation of the default value is left to the kernel; see the documentation for sklearn.metrics.pairwise. Ignored by other kernels.
degree : float, default=3
Degree of the polynomial kernel. Ignored by other kernels.
coef0 : float, default=1
Zero coefficient for polynomial and sigmoid kernels. Ignored by other kernels.
kernel_params : mapping of string to any, optional
Additional parameters (keyword arguments) for kernel function passed as callable object.

Attributes

dual_coef_ : array, shape = [n_features] or [n_targets, n_features]
Weight vector(s) in kernel space
X_fit_ : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples, n_features]
Training data, which is also required for prediction

class mdp.nodes.PolynomialFeaturesScikitsLearnNode

Generate polynomial and interaction features.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.PolynomialFeatures class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Generate a new feature matrix consisting of all polynomial combinations of the features with degree less than or equal to the specified degree. For example, if an input sample is two dimensional and of the form [a, b], the degree-2 polynomial features are [1, a, b, a^2, ab, b^2].

Parameters

degree : integer
The degree of the polynomial features. Default = 2.
interaction_only : boolean, default = False
If true, only interaction features are produced: features that are products of at most degree distinct input features (so not x[1] ** 2, x[0] * x[2] ** 3, etc.).
include_bias : boolean
If True (default), then include a bias column, the feature in which all polynomial powers are zero (i.e. a column of ones - acts as an intercept term in a linear model).

Examples

>>> X = np.arange(6).reshape(3, 2)
>>> X
array([[0, 1],
[2, 3],
[4, 5]])
>>> poly = PolynomialFeatures(2)
>>> poly.fit_transform(X)
array([[  1.,   0.,   1.,   0.,   0.,   1.],
[  1.,   2.,   3.,   4.,   6.,   9.],
[  1.,   4.,   5.,  16.,  20.,  25.]])
>>> poly = PolynomialFeatures(interaction_only=True)
>>> poly.fit_transform(X)
array([[  1.,   0.,   1.,   0.],
[  1.,   2.,   3.,   6.],

class mdp.nodes.AdditiveChi2SamplerScikitsLearnNode

Approximate feature map for additive chi2 kernel.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.kernel_approximation.AdditiveChi2Sampler class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Uses sampling the fourier transform of the kernel characteristic at regular intervals.

Since the kernel that is to be approximated is additive, the components of the input vectors can be treated separately. Each entry in the original space is transformed into 2*sample_steps+1 features, where sample_steps is a parameter of the method. Typical values of sample_steps include 1, 2 and 3.

Optimal choices for the sampling interval for certain data ranges can be computed (see the reference). The default values should be reasonable.

Parameters

sample_steps : int, optional
Gives the number of (complex) sampling points.
sample_interval : float, optional
Sampling interval. Must be specified when sample_steps not in {1,2,3}.

class mdp.nodes.BirchScikitsLearnNode

Implements the Birch clustering algorithm.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.cluster.birch.Birch class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Every new sample is inserted into the root of the Clustering Feature Tree. It is then clubbed together with the subcluster that has the centroid closest to the new sample. This is done recursively till it ends up at the subcluster of the leaf of the tree has the closest centroid.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

class mdp.nodes.CountVectorizerScikitsLearnNode

Convert a collection of text documents to a matrix of token counts

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_extraction.text.CountVectorizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This implementation produces a sparse representation of the counts using scipy.sparse.coo_matrix.

If you do not provide an a-priori dictionary and you do not use an analyzer that does some kind of feature selection then the number of features will be equal to the vocabulary size found by analyzing the data.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

input : string {‘filename’, ‘file’, ‘content’}

If ‘filename’, the sequence passed as an argument to fit is expected to be a list of filenames that need reading to fetch the raw content to analyze.

If ‘file’, the sequence items must have a ‘read’ method (file-like object) that is called to fetch the bytes in memory.

Otherwise the input is expected to be the sequence strings or bytes items are expected to be analyzed directly.

encoding : string, ‘utf-8’ by default.
If bytes or files are given to analyze, this encoding is used to decode.
decode_error : {‘strict’, ‘ignore’, ‘replace’}
Instruction on what to do if a byte sequence is given to analyze that contains characters not of the given encoding. By default, it is ‘strict’, meaning that a UnicodeDecodeError will be raised. Other values are ‘ignore’ and ‘replace’.
strip_accents : {‘ascii’, ‘unicode’, None}
Remove accents during the preprocessing step. ‘ascii’ is a fast method that only works on characters that have an direct ASCII mapping. ‘unicode’ is a slightly slower method that works on any characters. None (default) does nothing.
analyzer : string, {‘word’, ‘char’, ‘char_wb’} or callable

Whether the feature should be made of word or character n-grams. Option ‘char_wb’ creates character n-grams only from text inside word boundaries.

If a callable is passed it is used to extract the sequence of features out of the raw, unprocessed input. Only applies if analyzer == 'word'.

preprocessor : callable or None (default)
Override the preprocessing (string transformation) stage while preserving the tokenizing and n-grams generation steps.
tokenizer : callable or None (default)
Override the string tokenization step while preserving the preprocessing and n-grams generation steps. Only applies if analyzer == 'word'.
ngram_range : tuple (min_n, max_n)
The lower and upper boundary of the range of n-values for different n-grams to be extracted. All values of n such that min_n <= n <= max_n will be used.
stop_words : string {‘english’}, list, or None (default)

If ‘english’, a built-in stop word list for English is used.

If a list, that list is assumed to contain stop words, all of which will be removed from the resulting tokens. Only applies if analyzer == 'word'.

If None, no stop words will be used. max_df can be set to a value in the range [0.7, 1.0) to automatically detect and filter stop words based on intra corpus document frequency of terms.

lowercase : boolean, True by default
Convert all characters to lowercase before tokenizing.
token_pattern : string
Regular expression denoting what constitutes a “token”, only used if analyzer == 'word'. The default regexp select tokens of 2 or more alphanumeric characters (punctuation is completely ignored and always treated as a token separator).
max_df : float in range [0.0, 1.0] or int, default=1.0
When building the vocabulary ignore terms that have a document frequency strictly higher than the given threshold (corpus-specific stop words). If float, the parameter represents a proportion of documents, integer absolute counts. This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.
min_df : float in range [0.0, 1.0] or int, default=1
When building the vocabulary ignore terms that have a document frequency strictly lower than the given threshold. This value is also called cut-off in the literature. If float, the parameter represents a proportion of documents, integer absolute counts. This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.
max_features : int or None, default=None

If not None, build a vocabulary that only consider the top max_features ordered by term frequency across the corpus.

This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.

vocabulary : Mapping or iterable, optional
Either a Mapping (e.g., a dict) where keys are terms and values are indices in the feature matrix, or an iterable over terms. If not given, a vocabulary is determined from the input documents. Indices in the mapping should not be repeated and should not have any gap between 0 and the largest index.
binary : boolean, default=False
If True, all non zero counts are set to 1. This is useful for discrete probabilistic models that model binary events rather than integer counts.
dtype : type, optional
Type of the matrix returned by fit_transform() or transform().

Attributes

vocabulary_ : dict
A mapping of terms to feature indices.
stop_words_ : set

Terms that were ignored because they either:

• occurred in too many documents (max_df)
• occurred in too few documents (min_df)
• were cut off by feature selection (max_features).

This is only available if no vocabulary was given.

HashingVectorizer, TfidfVectorizer

Notes

The stop_words_ attribute can get large and increase the model size when pickling. This attribute is provided only for introspection and can be safely removed using delattr or set to None before pickling.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.forest.ExtraTreesRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This class implements a meta estimator that fits a number of randomized decision trees (a.k.a. extra-trees) on various sub-samples of the dataset and use averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_estimators : integer, optional (default=10)
The number of trees in the forest.
criterion : string, optional (default=”mse”)
The function to measure the quality of a split. The only supported criterion is “mse” for the mean squared error. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
max_features : int, float, string or None, optional (default=”auto”)

The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:

• If int, then consider max_features features at each split.
• If float, then max_features is a percentage and int(max_features * n_features) features are considered at each split.
• If “auto”, then max_features=n_features.
• If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
• If None, then max_features=n_features.

Note: the search for a split does not stop until at least one valid partition of the node samples is found, even if it requires to effectively inspect more than max_features features. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

max_depth : integer or None, optional (default=None)
The maximum depth of the tree. If None, then nodes are expanded until all leaves are pure or until all leaves contain less than min_samples_split samples. Ignored if max_leaf_nodes is not None. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_samples_split : integer, optional (default=2)
The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)

class mdp.nodes.GaussianProcessScikitsLearnNode

The Gaussian Process model class.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.gaussian_process.gaussian_process.GaussianProcess class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

regr : string or callable, optional

A regression function returning an array of outputs of the linear regression functional basis. The number of observations n_samples should be greater than the size p of this basis. Default assumes a simple constant regression trend. Available built-in regression models are:

'constant', 'linear', 'quadratic'

corr : string or callable, optional

A stationary autocorrelation function returning the autocorrelation between two points x and x’. Default assumes a squared-exponential autocorrelation model. Built-in correlation models are:

'absolute_exponential', 'squared_exponential',
'generalized_exponential', 'cubic', 'linear'

beta0 : double array_like, optional
The regression weight vector to perform Ordinary Kriging (OK). Default assumes Universal Kriging (UK) so that the vector beta of regression weights is estimated using the maximum likelihood principle.
storage_mode : string, optional
A string specifying whether the Cholesky decomposition of the correlation matrix should be stored in the class (storage_mode = ‘full’) or not (storage_mode = ‘light’). Default assumes storage_mode = ‘full’, so that the Cholesky decomposition of the correlation matrix is stored. This might be a useful parameter when one is not interested in the MSE and only plan to estimate the BLUP, for which the correlation matrix is not required.
verbose : boolean, optional
A boolean specifying the verbose level. Default is verbose = False.
theta0 : double array_like, optional
An array with shape (n_features, ) or (1, ). The parameters in the autocorrelation model. If thetaL and thetaU are also specified, theta0 is considered as the starting point for the maximum likelihood estimation of the best set of parameters. Default assumes isotropic autocorrelation model with theta0 = 1e-1.
thetaL : double array_like, optional
An array with shape matching theta0’s. Lower bound on the autocorrelation parameters for maximum likelihood estimation. Default is None, so that it skips maximum likelihood estimation and it uses theta0.
thetaU : double array_like, optional
An array with shape matching theta0’s. Upper bound on the autocorrelation parameters for maximum likelihood estimation. Default is None, so that it skips maximum likelihood estimation and it uses theta0.
normalize : boolean, optional
Input X and observations y are centered and reduced wrt means and standard deviations estimated from the n_samples observations provided. Default is normalize = True so that data is normalized to ease maximum likelihood estimation.
nugget : double or ndarray, optional
Introduce a nugget effect to allow smooth predictions from noisy data. If nugget is an ndarray, it must be the same length as the number of data points used for the fit. The nugget is added to the diagonal of the assumed training covariance; in this way it acts as a Tikhonov regularization in the problem. In the special case of the squared exponential correlation function, the nugget mathematically represents the variance of the input values. Default assumes a nugget close to machine precision for the sake of robustness (nugget = 10. * MACHINE_EPSILON).
optimizer : string, optional

A string specifying the optimization algorithm to be used. Default uses ‘fmin_cobyla’ algorithm from scipy.optimize. Available optimizers are:

'fmin_cobyla', 'Welch'


‘Welch’ optimizer is dued to Welch et al., see reference [WBSWM1992]. It consists in iterating over several one-dimensional optimizations instead of running one single multi-dimensional optimization.

random_start : int, optional
The number of times the Maximum Likelihood Estimation should be performed from a random starting point. The first MLE always uses the specified starting point (theta0), the next starting points are picked at random according to an exponential distribution (log-uniform on [thetaL, thetaU]). Default does not use random starting point (random_start = 1).
random_state: integer or numpy.RandomState, optional
The generator used to shuffle the sequence of coordinates of theta in the Welch optimizer. If an integer is given, it fixes the seed. Defaults to the global numpy random number generator.

Attributes

theta_ : array
Specified theta OR the best set of autocorrelation parameters (the sought maximizer of the reduced likelihood function).
reduced_likelihood_function_value_ : array
The optimal reduced likelihood function value.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sklearn.gaussian_process import GaussianProcess
>>> X = np.array([[1., 3., 5., 6., 7., 8.]]).T
>>> y = (X * np.sin(X)).ravel()
>>> gp = GaussianProcess(theta0=0.1, thetaL=.001, thetaU=1.)
>>> gp.fit(X, y)
GaussianProcess(beta0=None...
...

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_selection.from_model.SelectFromModel class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

New in version 0.17.

Parameters

estimator : object
The base estimator from which the transformer is built. This can be both a fitted (if prefit is set to True) or a non-fitted estimator.
threshold : string, float, optional default None
The threshold value to use for feature selection. Features whose importance is greater or equal are kept while the others are discarded. If “median” (resp. “mean”), then the threshold value is the median (resp. the mean) of the feature importances. A scaling factor (e.g., “1.25*mean”) may also be used. If None and if the estimator has a parameter penalty set to l1, either explicitly or implicity (e.g, Lasso), the threshold is used is 1e-5. Otherwise, “mean” is used by default.
prefit : bool, default False
Whether a prefit model is expected to be passed into the constructor directly or not. If True, transform must be called directly and SelectFromModel cannot be used with cross_val_score, GridSearchCV and similar utilities that clone the estimator. Otherwise train the model using fit and then transform to do feature selection.

Attributes

estimator_: an estimator
The base estimator from which the transformer is built. This is stored only when a non-fitted estimator is passed to the SelectFromModel, i.e when prefit is False.
threshold_: float
The threshold value used for feature selection.

Range of parameter space to use by default for :methradius_neighbors queries.
weights : str or callable

weight function used in prediction. Possible values:

• ‘uniform’ : uniform weights. All points in each neighborhood are weighted equally.
• ‘distance’ : weight points by the inverse of their distance. in this case, closer neighbors of a query point will have a greater influence than neighbors which are further away.

Uniform weights are used by default.

algorithm : {‘auto’, ‘ball_tree’, ‘kd_tree’, ‘brute’}, optional

Algorithm used to compute the nearest neighbors:

• ‘ball_tree’ will use BallTree
• ‘kd_tree’ will use KDtree
• ‘brute’ will use a brute-force search.

Note: fitting on sparse input will override the setting of this parameter, using brute force.

leaf_size : int, optional (default = 30)
Leaf size passed to BallTree or KDTree. This can affect the speed of the construction and query, as well as the memory required to store the tree. The optimal value depends on the nature of the problem.
metric : string or DistanceMetric object (default=’minkowski’)
the distance metric to use for the tree. The default metric is minkowski, and with p=2 is equivalent to the standard Euclidean metric. See the documentation of the DistanceMetric class for a list of available metrics.
p : integer, optional (default = 2)
Power parameter for the Minkowski metric. When p = 1, this is equivalent to using manhattan_distance (l1), and euclidean_distance (l2) for p = 2. For arbitrary p, minkowski_distance (l_p) is used.

Encode categorical integer features using a one-hot aka one-of-K scheme.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.OneHotEncoder class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

The input to this transformer should be a matrix of integers, denoting the values taken on by categorical (discrete) features. The output will be a sparse matrix where each column corresponds to one possible value of one feature. It is assumed that input features take on values in the range [0, n_values).

This encoding is needed for feeding categorical data to many scikit-learn estimators, notably linear models and SVMs with the standard kernels.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

Attributes

active_features_ : array
Indices for active features, meaning values that actually occur in the training set. Only available when n_values is 'auto'.
feature_indices_ : array of shape (n_features,)

class mdp.nodes.KMeansScikitsLearnNode

K-Means clustering

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.cluster.k_means_.KMeans class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_clusters : int, optional, default: 8
The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate.
max_iter : int, default: 300
Maximum number of iterations of the k-means algorithm for a single run.
n_init : int, default: 10
Number of time the k-means algorithm will be run with different centroid seeds. The final results will be the best output of n_init consecutive runs in terms of inertia.
init : {‘k-means++’, ‘random’ or an ndarray}

Method for initialization, defaults to ‘k-means++’:

‘k-means++’ : selects initial cluster centers for k-mean clustering in a smart way to speed up convergence. See section Notes in k_init for more details.

‘random’: choose k observations (rows) at random from data for the initial centroids.

If an ndarray is passed, it should be of shape (n_clusters, n_features) and gives the initial centers.

precompute_distances : {‘auto’, True, False}

Precompute distances (faster but takes more memory).

‘auto’ : do not precompute distances if n_samples * n_clusters > 12 million. This corresponds to about 100MB overhead per job using double precision.

True : always precompute distances

False : never precompute distances

tol : float, default: 1e-4
Relative tolerance with regards to inertia to declare convergence
n_jobs : int

The number of jobs to use for the computation. This works by computing each of the n_init runs in parallel.

If -1 all CPUs are used. If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, which is useful for debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used.

random_state : integer or numpy.RandomState, optional
The generator used to initialize the centers. If an integer is given, it fixes the seed. Defaults to the global numpy random number generator.
verbose : int, default 0
Verbosity mode.
copy_x : boolean, default True
When pre-computing distances it is more numerically accurate to center the data first. If copy_x is True, then the original data is not modified. If False, the original data is modified, and put back before the function returns, but small numerical differences may be introduced by subtracting and then adding the data mean.

Attributes

cluster_centers_ : array, [n_clusters, n_features]
Coordinates of cluster centers

labels_ :

• Labels of each point
inertia_ : float
Sum of distances of samples to their closest cluster center.

Notes

The k-means problem is solved using Lloyd’s algorithm.

The average complexity is given by O(k n T), were n is the number of samples and T is the number of iteration.

The worst case complexity is given by O(n^(k+2/p)) with n = n_samples, p = n_features. (D. Arthur and S. Vassilvitskii, ‘How slow is the k-means method?’ SoCG2006)

In practice, the k-means algorithm is very fast (one of the fastest clustering algorithms available), but it falls in local minima. That’s why it can be useful to restart it several times.

MiniBatchKMeans:

• Alternative online implementation that does incremental updates
• of the centers positions using mini-batches.
• For large scale learning (say n_samples > 10k) MiniBatchKMeans is
• probably much faster to than the default batch implementation.

class mdp.nodes.RandomForestClassifierScikitsLearnNode

A random forest classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.forest.RandomForestClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

A random forest is a meta estimator that fits a number of decision tree classifiers on various sub-samples of the dataset and use averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting. The sub-sample size is always the same as the original input sample size but the samples are drawn with replacement if bootstrap=True (default).

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_estimators : integer, optional (default=10)
The number of trees in the forest.
criterion : string, optional (default=”gini”)
The function to measure the quality of a split. Supported criteria are “gini” for the Gini impurity and “entropy” for the information gain. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
max_features : int, float, string or None, optional (default=”auto”)

The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:

• If int, then consider max_features features at each split.
• If float, then max_features is a percentage and int(max_features * n_features) features are considered at each split.
• If “auto”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features) (same as “auto”).
• If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
• If None, then max_features=n_features.

Note: the search for a split does not stop until at least one valid partition of the node samples is found, even if it requires to effectively inspect more than max_features features. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

max_depth : integer or None, optional (default=None)
The maximum depth of the tree. If None, then nodes are expanded until all leaves are pure or until all leaves contain less than min_samples_split samples. Ignored if max_leaf_nodes is not None. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_samples_split : integer, optional (default=2)
The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)
The minimum number of samples in newly created leaves. A split is discarded if after the split, one of the leaves would contain less then min_samples_leaf samples. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
min_weight_fraction_leaf : float, optional (default=0.)
The minimum weighted fraction of the input samples required to be at a leaf node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
max_leaf_nodes : int or None, optional (default=None)
Grow trees with max_leaf_nodes in best-first fashion. Best nodes are defined as relative reduction in impurity. If None then unlimited number of leaf nodes. If not None then max_depth will be ignored. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.
bootstrap : boolean, optional (default=True)
Whether bootstrap samples are used when building trees.
oob_score : bool
Whether to use out-of-bag samples to estimate the generalization error.
n_jobs : integer, optional (default=1)
The number of jobs to run in parallel for both fit and predict. If -1, then the number of jobs is set to the number of cores.
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
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.
verbose : int, optional (default=0)
Controls the verbosity of the tree building process.
warm_start : bool, optional (default=False)
When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just fit a whole new forest.

class_weight : dict, list of dicts, “balanced”, “balanced_subsample” or None, optional

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one. For multi-output problems, a list of dicts can be provided in the same order as the columns of y.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))

The “balanced_subsample” mode is the same as “balanced” except that weights are computed based on the bootstrap sample for every tree grown.

For multi-output, the weights of each column of y will be multiplied.

Note that these weights will be multiplied with sample_weight (passed through the fit method) if sample_weight is specified.

Attributes

n_features_ : int
The number of features when fit is performed.
n_outputs_ : int
The number of outputs when fit is performed.
feature_importances_ : array of shape = [n_features]
The feature importances (the higher, the more important the feature).
oob_score_ : float
Score of the training dataset obtained using an out-of-bag estimate.
oob_decision_function_ : array of shape = [n_samples, n_classes]
Decision function computed with out-of-bag estimate on the training set. If n_estimators is small it might be possible that a data point was never left out during the bootstrap. In this case, oob_decision_function_ might contain NaN.

class mdp.nodes.LabelEncoderScikitsLearnNode

Encode labels with value between 0 and n_classes-1.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.label.LabelEncoder class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Read more in the User Guide.

Attributes

classes_ : array of shape (n_class,)
Holds the label for each class.

Examples

LabelEncoder can be used to normalize labels.

>>> from sklearn import preprocessing
>>> le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
>>> le.fit([1, 2, 2, 6])
LabelEncoder()
>>> le.classes_
array([1, 2, 6])
>>> le.transform([1, 1, 2, 6])
array([0, 0, 1, 2]...)
>>> le.inverse_transform([0, 0, 1, 2])
array([1, 1, 2, 6])


It can also be used to transform non-numerical labels (as long as they are hashable and comparable) to numerical labels.

>>> le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
>>> le.fit(["paris", "paris", "tokyo", "amsterdam"])
LabelEncoder()
>>> list(le.classes_)
['amsterdam', 'paris', 'tokyo']
>>> le.transform(["tokyo", "tokyo", "paris"])
array([2, 2, 1]...)
>>> list(le.inverse_transform([2, 2, 1]))
['tokyo', 'tokyo', 'paris']

class mdp.nodes.RidgeScikitsLearnNode

Linear least squares with l2 regularization.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.ridge.Ridge class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This model solves a regression model where the loss function is the linear least squares function and regularization is given by the l2-norm. Also known as Ridge Regression or Tikhonov regularization. This estimator has built-in support for multi-variate regression (i.e., when y is a 2d-array of shape [n_samples, n_targets]).

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alpha : {float, array-like}, shape (n_targets)
Small positive values of alpha improve the conditioning of the problem and reduce the variance of the estimates. Alpha corresponds to C^-1 in other linear models such as LogisticRegression or LinearSVC. If an array is passed, penalties are assumed to be specific to the targets. Hence they must correspond in number.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
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).
max_iter : int, optional
Maximum number of iterations for conjugate gradient solver. For ‘sparse_cg’ and ‘lsqr’ solvers, the default value is determined by scipy.sparse.linalg. For ‘sag’ solver, the default value is 1000.
normalize : boolean, optional, default False
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
solver : {‘auto’, ‘svd’, ‘cholesky’, ‘lsqr’, ‘sparse_cg’, ‘sag’}

Solver to use in the computational routines:

• ‘auto’ chooses the solver automatically based on the type of data.
• ‘svd’ uses a Singular Value Decomposition of X to compute the Ridge coefficients. More stable for singular matrices than ‘cholesky’.
• ‘cholesky’ uses the standard scipy.linalg.solve function to obtain a closed-form solution.
• ‘sparse_cg’ uses the conjugate gradient solver as found in scipy.sparse.linalg.cg. As an iterative algorithm, this solver is more appropriate than ‘cholesky’ for large-scale data (possibility to set tol and max_iter).
• ‘lsqr’ uses the dedicated regularized least-squares routine scipy.sparse.linalg.lsqr. It is the fatest but may not be available in old scipy versions. It also uses an iterative procedure.
• ‘sag’ uses a Stochastic Average Gradient descent. It also uses an iterative procedure, and is often faster than other solvers when both n_samples and n_features are large. Note that ‘sag’ fast convergence is only guaranteed on features with approximately the same scale. You can preprocess the data with a scaler from sklearn.preprocessing.

All last four solvers support both dense and sparse data. However, only ‘sag’ supports sparse input when fit_intercept is True.

New in version 0.17: Stochastic Average Gradient descent solver.

tol : float
Precision of the solution.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default)

The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data. Used in ‘sag’ solver.

New in version 0.17: random_state to support Stochastic Average Gradient.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) or (n_targets, n_features)
Weight vector(s).
intercept_ : float | array, shape = (n_targets,)
Independent term in decision function. Set to 0.0 if fit_intercept = False.
n_iter_ : array or None, shape (n_targets,)
Actual number of iterations for each target. Available only for sag and lsqr solvers. Other solvers will return None.

RidgeClassifier, RidgeCV, KernelRidge

Examples

>>> from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge
>>> import numpy as np
>>> n_samples, n_features = 10, 5
>>> np.random.seed(0)
>>> y = np.random.randn(n_samples)
>>> X = np.random.randn(n_samples, n_features)
>>> clf = Ridge(alpha=1.0)
>>> clf.fit(X, y)
Ridge(alpha=1.0, copy_X=True, fit_intercept=True, max_iter=None,
normalize=False, random_state=None, solver='auto', tol=0.001)

class mdp.nodes.ElasticNetScikitsLearnNode

Linear regression with combined L1 and L2 priors as regularizer.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.coordinate_descent.ElasticNet class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Minimizes the objective function:

1 / (2 * n_samples) * ||y - Xw||^2_2 +
+ alpha * l1_ratio * ||w||_1
+ 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||w||^2_2


If you are interested in controlling the L1 and L2 penalty separately, keep in mind that this is equivalent to:

a * L1 + b * L2


where:

alpha = a + b and l1_ratio = a / (a + b)


The parameter l1_ratio corresponds to alpha in the glmnet R package while alpha corresponds to the lambda parameter in glmnet. Specifically, l1_ratio = 1 is the lasso penalty. Currently, l1_ratio <= 0.01 is not reliable, unless you supply your own sequence of alpha.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alpha : float
Constant that multiplies the penalty terms. Defaults to 1.0 See the notes for the exact mathematical meaning of this parameter. 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 and you should prefer the LinearRegression object.
l1_ratio : float
The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with 0 <= l1_ratio <= 1. For l1_ratio = 0 the penalty is an L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 1 it is an L1 penalty. For 0 < l1_ratio < 1, the penalty is a combination of L1 and L2.
fit_intercept : bool
Whether the intercept should be estimated or not. If False, the data is assumed to be already centered.
normalize : boolean, optional, default False
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
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. For sparse input this option is always True to preserve sparsity. WARNING : The 'auto' option is deprecated and will be removed in 0.18.
max_iter : int, optional
The maximum number of iterations
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
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.
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.
random_state : int, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Useful only when selection is set to ‘random’.

Attributes

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_ : array-like, shape (n_targets,)
number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach the specified tolerance.

Notes

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

SGDRegressor: implements elastic net regression with incremental training. SGDClassifier: implements logistic regression with elastic net penalty

class mdp.nodes.BinarizerScikitsLearnNode

Binarize data (set feature values to 0 or 1) according to a threshold

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.Binarizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Values greater than the threshold map to 1, while values less than or equal to the threshold map to 0. With the default threshold of 0, only positive values map to 1.

Binarization is a common operation on text count data where the analyst can decide to only consider the presence or absence of a feature rather than a quantified number of occurrences for instance.

It can also be used as a pre-processing step for estimators that consider boolean random variables (e.g. modelled using the Bernoulli distribution in a Bayesian setting).

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

threshold : float, optional (0.0 by default)
Feature values below or equal to this are replaced by 0, above it by 1. Threshold may not be less than 0 for operations on sparse matrices.
copy : boolean, optional, default True
set to False to perform inplace binarization and avoid a copy (if the input is already a numpy array or a scipy.sparse CSR matrix).

Notes

If the input is a sparse matrix, only the non-zero values are subject to update by the Binarizer class.

This estimator is stateless (besides constructor parameters), the fit method does nothing but is useful when used in a pipeline.

class mdp.nodes.TfidfVectorizerScikitsLearnNode

Convert a collection of raw documents to a matrix of TF-IDF features.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_extraction.text.TfidfVectorizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Equivalent to CountVectorizer followed by TfidfTransformer.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

input : string {‘filename’, ‘file’, ‘content’}

If ‘filename’, the sequence passed as an argument to fit is expected to be a list of filenames that need reading to fetch the raw content to analyze.

If ‘file’, the sequence items must have a ‘read’ method (file-like object) that is called to fetch the bytes in memory.

Otherwise the input is expected to be the sequence strings or bytes items are expected to be analyzed directly.

encoding : string, ‘utf-8’ by default.
If bytes or files are given to analyze, this encoding is used to decode.
decode_error : {‘strict’, ‘ignore’, ‘replace’}
Instruction on what to do if a byte sequence is given to analyze that contains characters not of the given encoding. By default, it is ‘strict’, meaning that a UnicodeDecodeError will be raised. Other values are ‘ignore’ and ‘replace’.
strip_accents : {‘ascii’, ‘unicode’, None}
Remove accents during the preprocessing step. ‘ascii’ is a fast method that only works on characters that have an direct ASCII mapping. ‘unicode’ is a slightly slower method that works on any characters. None (default) does nothing.
analyzer : string, {‘word’, ‘char’} or callable

Whether the feature should be made of word or character n-grams.

If a callable is passed it is used to extract the sequence of features out of the raw, unprocessed input.

preprocessor : callable or None (default)
Override the preprocessing (string transformation) stage while preserving the tokenizing and n-grams generation steps.
tokenizer : callable or None (default)
Override the string tokenization step while preserving the preprocessing and n-grams generation steps. Only applies if analyzer == 'word'.
ngram_range : tuple (min_n, max_n)
The lower and upper boundary of the range of n-values for different n-grams to be extracted. All values of n such that min_n <= n <= max_n will be used.
stop_words : string {‘english’}, list, or None (default)

If a string, it is passed to _check_stop_list and the appropriate stop list is returned. ‘english’ is currently the only supported string value.

If a list, that list is assumed to contain stop words, all of which will be removed from the resulting tokens. Only applies if analyzer == 'word'.

If None, no stop words will be used. max_df can be set to a value in the range [0.7, 1.0) to automatically detect and filter stop words based on intra corpus document frequency of terms.

lowercase : boolean, default True
Convert all characters to lowercase before tokenizing.
token_pattern : string
Regular expression denoting what constitutes a “token”, only used if analyzer == 'word'. The default regexp selects tokens of 2 or more alphanumeric characters (punctuation is completely ignored and always treated as a token separator).
max_df : float in range [0.0, 1.0] or int, default=1.0
When building the vocabulary ignore terms that have a document frequency strictly higher than the given threshold (corpus-specific stop words). If float, the parameter represents a proportion of documents, integer absolute counts. This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.
min_df : float in range [0.0, 1.0] or int, default=1
When building the vocabulary ignore terms that have a document frequency strictly lower than the given threshold. This value is also called cut-off in the literature. If float, the parameter represents a proportion of documents, integer absolute counts. This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.
max_features : int or None, default=None

If not None, build a vocabulary that only consider the top max_features ordered by term frequency across the corpus.

This parameter is ignored if vocabulary is not None.

vocabulary : Mapping or iterable, optional
Either a Mapping (e.g., a dict) where keys are terms and values are indices in the feature matrix, or an iterable over terms. If not given, a vocabulary is determined from the input documents.
binary : boolean, default=False
If True, all non-zero term counts are set to 1. This does not mean outputs will have only 0/1 values, only that the tf term in tf-idf is binary. (Set idf and normalization to False to get 0/1 outputs.)
dtype : type, optional
Type of the matrix returned by fit_transform() or transform().
norm : ‘l1’, ‘l2’ or None, optional
Norm used to normalize term vectors. None for no normalization.
use_idf : boolean, default=True
Enable inverse-document-frequency reweighting.
smooth_idf : boolean, default=True
Smooth idf weights by adding one to document frequencies, as if an extra document was seen containing every term in the collection exactly once. Prevents zero divisions.
sublinear_tf : boolean, default=False
Apply sublinear tf scaling, i.e. replace tf with 1 + log(tf).

Attributes

idf_ : array, shape = [n_features], or None
The learned idf vector (global term weights) when use_idf is set to True, None otherwise.
stop_words_ : set

Terms that were ignored because they either:

• occurred in too many documents (max_df)
• occurred in too few documents (min_df)
• were cut off by feature selection (max_features).

This is only available if no vocabulary was given.

CountVectorizer
Tokenize the documents and count the occurrences of token and return them as a sparse matrix
TfidfTransformer
Apply Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency normalization to a sparse matrix of occurrence counts.

Notes

The stop_words_ attribute can get large and increase the model size when pickling. This attribute is provided only for introspection and can be safely removed using delattr or set to None before pickling.

class mdp.nodes.RandomizedPCAScikitsLearnNode

Principal component analysis (PCA) using randomized SVD

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.decomposition.pca.RandomizedPCA class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Linear dimensionality reduction using approximated Singular Value Decomposition of the data and keeping only the most significant singular vectors to project the data to a lower dimensional space.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components : int, optional
Maximum number of components to keep. When not given or None, this is set to n_features (the second dimension of the training data).
copy : bool
If False, data passed to fit are overwritten and running fit(X).transform(X) will not yield the expected results, use fit_transform(X) instead.
iterated_power : int, optional
Number of iterations for the power method. 3 by default.
whiten : bool, optional

When True (False by default) the components_ vectors are divided by the singular values to ensure uncorrelated outputs with unit component-wise variances.

Whitening will remove some information from the transformed signal (the relative variance scales of the components) but can sometime improve the predictive accuracy of the downstream estimators by making their data respect some hard-wired assumptions.

random_state : int or RandomState instance or None (default)

class mdp.nodes.IncrementalPCAScikitsLearnNode

Incremental principal components analysis (IPCA).

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.decomposition.incremental_pca.IncrementalPCA class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Linear dimensionality reduction using Singular Value Decomposition of centered data, keeping only the most significant singular vectors to project the data to a lower dimensional space.

Depending on the size of the input data, this algorithm can be much more memory efficient than a PCA.

This algorithm has constant memory complexity, on the order of batch_size, enabling use of np.memmap files without loading the entire file into memory.

The computational overhead of each SVD is O(batch_size * n_features ** 2), but only 2 * batch_size samples remain in memory at a time. There will be n_samples / batch_size SVD computations to get the principal components, versus 1 large SVD of complexity O(n_samples * n_features ** 2) for PCA.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components : int or None, (default=None)
Number of components to keep. If n_components  is None, then n_components is set to min(n_samples, n_features).
batch_size : int or None, (default=None)
The number of samples to use for each batch. Only used when calling fit. If batch_size is None, then batch_size is inferred from the data and set to 5 * n_features, to provide a balance between approximation accuracy and memory consumption.
copy : bool, (default=True)
If False, X will be overwritten. copy=False can be used to save memory but is unsafe for general use.
whiten : bool, optional

When True (False by default) the components_ vectors are divided by n_samples times components_ to ensure uncorrelated outputs with unit component-wise variances.

Whitening will remove some information from the transformed signal (the relative variance scales of the components) but can sometimes improve the predictive accuracy of the downstream estimators by making data respect some hard-wired assumptions.

Attributes

components_ : array, shape (n_components, n_features)
Components with maximum variance.
explained_variance_ : array, shape (n_components,)
Variance explained by each of the selected components.
explained_variance_ratio_ : array, shape (n_components,)
Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components. If all components are stored, the sum of explained variances is equal to 1.0
mean_ : array, shape (n_features,)
Per-feature empirical mean, aggregate over calls to partial_fit.
var_ : array, shape (n_features,)
Per-feature empirical variance, aggregate over calls to partial_fit.
noise_variance_ : float
The estimated noise covariance following the Probabilistic PCA model from Tipping and Bishop 1999. See “Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning” by C. Bishop, 12.2.1 p. 574 or http://www.miketipping.com/papers/met-mppca.pdf.
n_components_ : int
The estimated number of components. Relevant when n_components=None.
n_samples_seen_ : int
The number of samples processed by the estimator. Will be reset on new calls to fit, but increments across partial_fit calls.

This model is an extension of the Sequential Karhunen-Loeve Transform from:

A. Levy and M. Lindenbaum, Sequential Karhunen-Loeve Basis Extraction and its Application to Images, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, Volume 9, Number 8, pp. 1371-1374, August 2000. See http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~mic/doc/skl-ip.pdf

We have specifically abstained from an optimization used by authors of both papers, a QR decomposition used in specific situations to reduce the algorithmic complexity of the SVD. The source for this technique is Matrix Computations, Third Edition, G. Holub and C. Van Loan, Chapter 5, section 5.4.4, pp 252-253.. This technique has been omitted because it is advantageous only when decomposing a matrix with n_samples (rows) >= 5/3 * n_features (columns), and hurts the readability of the implemented algorithm. This would be a good opportunity for future optimization, if it is deemed necessary.

class mdp.nodes.FactorAnalysisScikitsLearnNode

Factor Analysis (FA)

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.decomposition.factor_analysis.FactorAnalysis class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

A simple linear generative model with Gaussian latent variables.

The observations are assumed to be caused by a linear transformation of lower dimensional latent factors and added Gaussian noise. Without loss of generality the factors are distributed according to a Gaussian with zero mean and unit covariance. The noise is also zero mean and has an arbitrary diagonal covariance matrix.

If we would restrict the model further, by assuming that the Gaussian noise is even isotropic (all diagonal entries are the same) we would obtain PPCA.

FactorAnalysis performs a maximum likelihood estimate of the so-called loading matrix, the transformation of the latent variables to the observed ones, using expectation-maximization (EM).

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components : int | None
Dimensionality of latent space, the number of components of X that are obtained after transform. If None, n_components is set to the number of features.
tol : float
Stopping tolerance for EM algorithm.
copy : bool
Whether to make a copy of X. If False, the input X gets overwritten during fitting.

Which SVD method to use. If ‘lapack’ use standard SVD from scipy.linalg, if ‘randomized’ use fast randomized_svd function. Defaults to ‘randomized’. For most applications ‘randomized’ will be sufficiently precise while providing significant speed gains. Accuracy can also be improved by setting higher values for iterated_power. If this is not sufficient, for maximum precision you should choose ‘lapack’.
iterated_power : int, optional
Number of iterations for the power method. 3 by default. Only used if svd_method equals ‘randomized’

class mdp.nodes.FunctionTransformerScikitsLearnNode

Constructs a transformer from an arbitrary callable.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing._function_transformer.FunctionTransformer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

A FunctionTransformer forwards its X (and optionally y) arguments to a user-defined function or function object and returns the result of this function. This is useful for stateless transformations such as taking the log of frequencies, doing custom scaling, etc.

A FunctionTransformer will not do any checks on its function’s output.

Note: If a lambda is used as the function, then the resulting transformer will not be pickleable.

New in version 0.17.

Parameters

func : callable, optional default=None
The callable to use for the transformation. This will be passed the same arguments as transform, with args and kwargs forwarded. If func is None, then func will be the identity function.
validate : bool, optional default=True
Indicate that the input X array should be checked before calling func. If validate is false, there will be no input validation. If it is true, then X will be converted to a 2-dimensional NumPy array or sparse matrix. If this conversion is not possible or X contains NaN or infinity, an exception is raised.
accept_sparse : boolean, optional
Indicate that func accepts a sparse matrix as input. If validate is False, this has no effect. Otherwise, if accept_sparse is false, sparse matrix inputs will cause an exception to be raised.
pass_y: bool, optional default=False
Indicate that transform should forward the y argument to the inner callable.

class mdp.nodes.DPGMMScikitsLearnNode

Variational Inference for the Infinite Gaussian Mixture Model.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.mixture.dpgmm.DPGMM class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

DPGMM stands for Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixture Model, and it is an infinite mixture model with the Dirichlet Process as a prior distribution on the number of clusters. In practice the approximate inference algorithm uses a truncated distribution with a fixed maximum number of components, but almost always the number of components actually used depends on the data.

Stick-breaking Representation of a Gaussian mixture model probability distribution. This class allows for easy and efficient inference of an approximate posterior distribution over the parameters of a Gaussian mixture model with a variable number of components (smaller than the truncation parameter n_components).

Initialization is with normally-distributed means and identity covariance, for proper convergence.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components: int, default 1
Number of mixture components.
covariance_type: string, default ‘diag’
String describing the type of covariance parameters to use. Must be one of ‘spherical’, ‘tied’, ‘diag’, ‘full’.
alpha: float, default 1
Real number representing the concentration parameter of the dirichlet process. Intuitively, the Dirichlet Process is as likely to start a new cluster for a point as it is to add that point to a cluster with alpha elements. A higher alpha means more clusters, as the expected number of clusters is alpha*log(N).
tol : float, default 1e-3
Convergence threshold.
n_iter : int, default 10
Maximum number of iterations to perform before convergence.
params : string, default ‘wmc’
Controls which parameters are updated in the training process. Can contain any combination of ‘w’ for weights, ‘m’ for means, and ‘c’ for covars.
init_params : string, default ‘wmc’
Controls which parameters are updated in the initialization process. Can contain any combination of ‘w’ for weights, ‘m’ for means, and ‘c’ for covars. Defaults to ‘wmc’.
verbose : int, default 0
Controls output verbosity.

Attributes

covariance_type : string
String describing the type of covariance parameters used by the DP-GMM. Must be one of ‘spherical’, ‘tied’, ‘diag’, ‘full’.
n_components : int
Number of mixture components.
weights_ : array, shape (n_components,)
Mixing weights for each mixture component.
means_ : array, shape (n_components, n_features)
Mean parameters for each mixture component.
precs_ : array

Precision (inverse covariance) parameters for each mixture component. The shape depends on covariance_type:

(n_components, 'n_features')                if 'spherical',
(n_features, n_features)                  if 'tied',
(n_components, n_features)                if 'diag',
(n_components, n_features, n_features)  if 'full'

converged_ : bool
True when convergence was reached in fit(), False otherwise.

GMM : Finite Gaussian mixture model fit with EM

VBGMM : Finite Gaussian mixture model fit with a variational
algorithm, better for situations where there might be too little data to get a good estimate of the covariance matrix.

class mdp.nodes.LassoLarsICScikitsLearnNode

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

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.least_angle.LassoLarsIC class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

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.

Parameters

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).
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 coeffiencts 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.
verbose : boolean or integer, optional
Sets the verbosity amount
normalize : boolean, optional, default False
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
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.

Attributes

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 criteria is chosen.

Examples

>>> from sklearn import linear_model
>>> clf = linear_model.LassoLarsIC(criterion='bic')
>>> clf.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(clf.coef_)
[ 0.  -1.11...]

class mdp.nodes.RFEScikitsLearnNode

Feature ranking with recursive feature elimination.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_selection.rfe.RFE class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Given an external estimator that assigns weights to features (e.g., the coefficients of a linear model), the goal of recursive feature elimination (RFE) is to select features by recursively considering smaller and smaller sets of features. First, the estimator is trained on the initial set of features and weights are assigned to each one of them. Then, features whose absolute weights are the smallest are pruned from the current set features. That procedure is recursively repeated on the pruned set until the desired number of features to select is eventually reached.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

estimator : object

A supervised learning estimator with a fit method that updates a coef_ attribute that holds the fitted parameters. Important features must correspond to high absolute values in the coef_ array.

For instance, this is the case for most supervised learning algorithms such as Support Vector Classifiers and Generalized Linear Models from the svm and linear_model modules.

n_features_to_select : int or None (default=None)
The number of features to select. If None, half of the features are selected.
step : int or float, optional (default=1)
If greater than or equal to 1, then step corresponds to the (integer) number of features to remove at each iteration. If within (0.0, 1.0), then step corresponds to the percentage (rounded down) of features to remove at each iteration.
estimator_params : dict
Parameters for the external estimator. This attribute is deprecated as of version 0.16 and will be removed in 0.18. Use estimator initialisation or set_params method instead.
verbose : int, default=0
Controls verbosity of output.

Attributes

n_features_ : int
The number of selected features.
support_ : array of shape [n_features]
ranking_ : array of shape [n_features]
The feature ranking, such that ranking_[i] corresponds to the ranking position of the i-th feature. Selected (i.e., estimated best) features are assigned rank 1.
estimator_ : object
The external estimator fit on the reduced dataset.

Examples

The following example shows how to retrieve the 5 right informative features in the Friedman #1 dataset.

>>> from sklearn.datasets import make_friedman1
>>> from sklearn.feature_selection import RFE
>>> from sklearn.svm import SVR
>>> X, y = make_friedman1(n_samples=50, n_features=10, random_state=0)
>>> estimator = SVR(kernel="linear")
>>> selector = RFE(estimator, 5, step=1)
>>> selector = selector.fit(X, y)
>>> selector.support_
array([ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,
False, False, False, False, False], dtype=bool)
>>> selector.ranking_
array([1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 4, 3, 2, 5])

class mdp.nodes.PCAScikitsLearnNode

Principal component analysis (PCA)

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.decomposition.pca.PCA class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Linear dimensionality reduction using Singular Value Decomposition of the data and keeping only the most significant singular vectors to project the data to a lower dimensional space.

This implementation uses the scipy.linalg implementation of the singular value decomposition. It only works for dense arrays and is not scalable to large dimensional data.

The time complexity of this implementation is O(n ** 3) assuming n ~ n_samples ~ n_features.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components : int, None or string

Number of components to keep. if n_components is not set all components are kept:

n_components == min(n_samples, n_features)


if n_components == ‘mle’, Minka’s MLE is used to guess the dimension if 0 < n_components < 1, select the number of components such that the amount of variance that needs to be explained is greater than the percentage specified by n_components

copy : bool
If False, data passed to fit are overwritten and running fit(X).transform(X) will not yield the expected results, use fit_transform(X) instead.
whiten : bool, optional

When True (False by default) the components_ vectors are divided by n_samples times singular values to ensure uncorrelated outputs with unit component-wise variances.

Whitening will remove some information from the transformed signal (the relative variance scales of the components) but can sometime improve the predictive accuracy of the downstream estimators by making there data respect some hard-wired assumptions.

Attributes

components_ : array, [n_components, n_features]
Principal axes in feature space, representing the directions of maximum variance in the data.
explained_variance_ratio_ : array, [n_components]
Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components. If n_components is not set then all components are stored and the sum of explained variances is equal to 1.0
mean_ : array, [n_features]
Per-feature empirical mean, estimated from the training set.
n_components_ : int
The estimated number of components. Relevant when n_components is set to ‘mle’ or a number between 0 and 1 to select using explained variance.
noise_variance_ : float
The estimated noise covariance following the Probabilistic PCA model from Tipping and Bishop 1999. See “Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning” by C. Bishop, 12.2.1 p. 574 or http://www.miketipping.com/papers/met-mppca.pdf. It is required to computed the estimated data covariance and score samples.

Notes

For n_components=’mle’, this class uses the method of Thomas P. Minka:

Automatic Choice of Dimensionality for PCA. NIPS 2000: 598-604

Implements the probabilistic PCA model from:

M. Tipping and C. Bishop, Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B, 61, Part 3, pp. 611-622 via the score and score_samples methods. See http://www.miketipping.com/papers/met-mppca.pdf

Due to implementation subtleties of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), which is used in this implementation, running fit twice on the same matrix can lead to principal components with signs flipped (change in direction). For this reason, it is important to always use the same estimator object to transform data in a consistent fashion.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
>>> X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [-3, -2], [1, 1], [2, 1], [3, 2]])
>>> pca = PCA(n_components=2)
>>> pca.fit(X)

Where:

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


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

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alpha : float, optional
Constant that multiplies the L1/L2 term. Defaults to 1.0

When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.
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

The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Useful only when selection is set to ‘random’.

Attributes

[ 0.10606602  0.10606602]


Notes

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.

Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:

• None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs
• An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned
• A string, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’
memory : Instance of joblib.Memory or string
Used for internal caching. By default, no caching is done. If a string is given, it is the path to the caching directory.

Attributes

scores_ : array, shape = [n_features]
Feature scores between 0 and 1.
all_scores_ : array, shape = [n_features, n_reg_parameter]
Feature scores between 0 and 1 for all values of the regularization parameter. The reference article suggests scores_ is the max of all_scores_.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.linear_model import RandomizedLogisticRegression
>>> randomized_logistic = RandomizedLogisticRegression()

class mdp.nodes.MultiTaskElasticNetScikitsLearnNode

Multi-task ElasticNet model trained with L1/L2 mixed-norm as regularizer

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.coordinate_descent.MultiTaskElasticNet class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

The optimization objective for MultiTaskElasticNet is:

(1 / (2 * n_samples)) * ||Y - XW||^Fro_2

+ 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.

Parameters

alpha : float, optional
Constant that multiplies the L1/L2 term. Defaults to 1.0
l1_ratio : float
The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with 0 < l1_ratio <= 1. For l1_ratio = 0 the penalty is an L1/L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 1 it is an L1 penalty. For 0 < l1_ratio < 1, the penalty is a combination of L1/L2 and L2.
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
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
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.
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.
random_state : int, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Useful only when selection is set to ‘random’.

Attributes

intercept_ : array, shape (n_tasks,)
Independent term in decision function.
coef_ : array, shape (n_tasks, n_features)
Parameter vector (W in the cost function formula). If a 1D y is passed in at fit (non multi-task usage), coef_ is then a 1D array
n_iter_ : int
number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach the specified tolerance.

Examples

>>> from sklearn import linear_model
>>> clf.fit([[0,0], [1, 1], [2, 2]], [[0, 0], [1, 1], [2, 2]])
...
l1_ratio=0.5, max_iter=1000, normalize=False, random_state=None,
selection='cyclic', tol=0.0001, warm_start=False)
>>> print(clf.coef_)
[[ 0.45663524  0.45612256]
[ 0.45663524  0.45612256]]
>>> print(clf.intercept_)
[ 0.0872422  0.0872422]


Notes

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.

class mdp.nodes.SparseCoderScikitsLearnNode

Sparse coding

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.decomposition.dict_learning.SparseCoder class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Finds a sparse representation of data against a fixed, precomputed dictionary.

Each row of the result is the solution to a sparse coding problem. The goal is to find a sparse array code such that:

X ~= code * dictionary


Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

dictionary : array, [n_components, n_features]
The dictionary atoms used for sparse coding. Lines are assumed to be normalized to unit norm.
transform_algorithm : {‘lasso_lars’, ‘lasso_cd’, ‘lars’, ‘omp’, ‘threshold’}

Algorithm used to transform the data:

• lars: uses the least angle regression method (linear_model.lars_path)
• lasso_lars: uses Lars to compute the Lasso solution
• lasso_cd: uses the coordinate descent method to compute the
• Lasso solution (linear_model.Lasso). lasso_lars will be faster if
• the estimated components are sparse.
• omp: uses orthogonal matching pursuit to estimate the sparse solution
• threshold: squashes to zero all coefficients less than alpha from
• the projection dictionary * X'
transform_n_nonzero_coefs : int, 0.1 * n_features by default
Number of nonzero coefficients to target in each column of the solution. This is only used by algorithm=’lars’ and algorithm=’omp’ and is overridden by alpha in the omp case.
transform_alpha : float, 1. by default
If algorithm=’lasso_lars’ or algorithm=’lasso_cd’, alpha is the penalty applied to the L1 norm. If algorithm=’threshold’, alpha is the absolute value of the threshold below which coefficients will be squashed to zero. If algorithm=’omp’, alpha is the tolerance parameter: the value of the reconstruction error targeted. In this case, it overrides n_nonzero_coefs.
split_sign : bool, False by default
Whether to split the sparse feature vector into the concatenation of its negative part and its positive part. This can improve the performance of downstream classifiers.
n_jobs : int,
number of parallel jobs to run

Attributes

components_ : array, [n_components, n_features]
The unchanged dictionary atoms

class mdp.nodes.StandardScalerScikitsLearnNode

Standardize features by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.StandardScaler class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Centering and scaling happen independently on each feature by computing the relevant statistics on the samples in the training set. Mean and standard deviation are then stored to be used on later data using the transform method.

Standardization of a dataset is a common requirement for many machine learning estimators: they might behave badly if the individual feature do not more or less look like standard normally distributed data (e.g. Gaussian with 0 mean and unit variance).

For instance many elements used in the objective function of a learning algorithm (such as the RBF kernel of Support Vector Machines or the L1 and L2 regularizers of linear models) assume that all features are centered around 0 and have variance in the same order. If a feature has a variance that is orders of magnitude larger that others, it might dominate the objective function and make the estimator unable to learn from other features correctly as expected.

This scaler can also be applied to sparse CSR or CSC matrices by passing with_mean=False to avoid breaking the sparsity structure of the data.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

with_mean : boolean, True by default
If True, center the data before scaling. This does not work (and will raise an exception) when attempted on sparse matrices, because centering them entails building a dense matrix which in common use cases is likely to be too large to fit in memory.
with_std : boolean, True by default
If True, scale the data to unit variance (or equivalently, unit standard deviation).
copy : boolean, optional, default True
If False, try to avoid a copy and do inplace scaling instead. This is not guaranteed to always work inplace; e.g. if the data is not a NumPy array or scipy.sparse CSR matrix, a copy may still be returned.

Attributes

scale_ : ndarray, shape (n_features,)

Per feature relative scaling of the data.

New in version 0.17: scale_ is recommended instead of deprecated std_.

mean_ : array of floats with shape [n_features]
The mean value for each feature in the training set.
var_ : array of floats with shape [n_features]
The variance for each feature in the training set. Used to compute scale_
n_samples_seen_ : int
The number of samples processed by the estimator. Will be reset on new calls to fit, but increments across partial_fit calls.

sklearn.preprocessing.scale() to perform centering and scaling without using the Transformer object oriented API

sklearn.decomposition.RandomizedPCA with whiten=True to further remove the linear correlation across features.

(n_features, n_features)               if 'tied',
(n_components, n_features)             if 'diag',
(n_components, n_features, n_features) if 'full'

converged_ : bool
True when convergence was reached in fit(), False otherwise.

class mdp.nodes.DecisionTreeClassifierScikitsLearnNode

A decision tree classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.tree.tree.DecisionTreeClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

criterion : string, optional (default=”gini”)
The function to measure the quality of a split. Supported criteria are “gini” for the Gini impurity and “entropy” for the information gain.
splitter : string, optional (default=”best”)
The strategy used to choose the split at each node. Supported strategies are “best” to choose the best split and “random” to choose the best random split.
max_features : int, float, string or None, optional (default=None)

The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:

• If int, then consider max_features features at each split.
• If float, then max_features is a percentage and
• int(max_features * n_features) features are considered at each
• split.
• If “auto”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
• If None, then max_features=n_features.

Note: the search for a split does not stop until at least one valid partition of the node samples is found, even if it requires to effectively inspect more than max_features features.

max_depth : int or None, optional (default=None)
The maximum depth of the tree. If None, then nodes are expanded until all leaves are pure or until all leaves contain less than min_samples_split samples. Ignored if max_leaf_nodes is not None.
min_samples_split : int, optional (default=2)
The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node.
min_samples_leaf : int, optional (default=1)
The minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node.
min_weight_fraction_leaf : float, optional (default=0.)
The minimum weighted fraction of the input samples required to be at a leaf node.
max_leaf_nodes : int or None, optional (default=None)
Grow a tree with max_leaf_nodes in best-first fashion. Best nodes are defined as relative reduction in impurity. If None then unlimited number of leaf nodes. If not None then max_depth will be ignored.
class_weight : dict, list of dicts, “balanced” or None, optional (default=None)

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one. For multi-output problems, a list of dicts can be provided in the same order as the columns of y.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))

For multi-output, the weights of each column of y will be multiplied.

Note that these weights will be multiplied with sample_weight (passed through the fit method) if sample_weight is specified.

random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
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.
presort : bool, optional (default=False)
Whether to presort the data to speed up the finding of best splits in fitting. For the default settings of a decision tree on large datasets, setting this to true may slow down the training process. When using either a smaller dataset or a restricted depth, this may speed up the training.

class mdp.nodes.LogisticRegressionScikitsLearnNode

Logistic Regression (aka logit, MaxEnt) classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.logistic.LogisticRegression class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

In the multiclass case, the training algorithm uses the one-vs-rest (OvR) scheme if the ‘multi_class’ option is set to ‘ovr’ and uses the cross-entropy loss, if the ‘multi_class’ option is set to ‘multinomial’. (Currently the ‘multinomial’ option is supported only by the ‘lbfgs’ and ‘newton-cg’ solvers.)

This class implements regularized logistic regression using the liblinear library, newton-cg and lbfgs solvers. It can handle both dense and sparse input. Use C-ordered arrays or CSR matrices containing 64-bit floats for optimal performance; any other input format will be converted (and copied).

The newton-cg and lbfgs solvers support only L2 regularization with primal formulation. The liblinear solver supports both L1 and L2 regularization, with a dual formulation only for the L2 penalty.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

penalty : str, ‘l1’ or ‘l2’
Used to specify the norm used in the penalization. The newton-cg and lbfgs solvers support only l2 penalties.
dual : bool
Dual or primal formulation. Dual formulation is only implemented for l2 penalty with liblinear solver. Prefer dual=False when n_samples > n_features.
C : float, optional (default=1.0)
Inverse of regularization strength; must be a positive float. Like in support vector machines, smaller values specify stronger regularization.
fit_intercept : bool, default: True
Specifies if a constant (a.k.a. bias or intercept) should be added to the decision function.
intercept_scaling : float, default: 1
Useful only if solver is liblinear. when self.fit_intercept is True, instance vector x becomes [x, self.intercept_scaling], i.e. a “synthetic” feature with constant value equals to intercept_scaling is appended to the instance vector. The intercept becomes intercept_scaling * synthetic feature weight Note! the synthetic feature weight is subject to l1/l2 regularization as all other features. To lessen the effect of regularization on synthetic feature weight (and therefore on the intercept) intercept_scaling has to be increased.
class_weight : dict or ‘balanced’, optional

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))

Note that these weights will be multiplied with sample_weight (passed through the fit method) if sample_weight is specified.

New in version 0.17: class_weight=’balanced’ instead of deprecated class_weight=’auto’.

max_iter : int
Useful only for the newton-cg, sag and lbfgs solvers. Maximum number of iterations taken for the solvers to converge.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data.
solver : {‘newton-cg’, ‘lbfgs’, ‘liblinear’, ‘sag’}

Algorithm to use in the optimization problem.

• For small datasets, ‘liblinear’ is a good choice, whereas ‘sag’ is

faster for large ones.

• For multiclass problems, only ‘newton-cg’ and ‘lbfgs’ handle

multinomial loss; ‘sag’ and ‘liblinear’ are limited to one-versus-rest schemes.

• ‘newton-cg’, ‘lbfgs’ and ‘sag’ only handle L2 penalty.

Note that ‘sag’ fast convergence is only guaranteed on features with approximately the same scale. You can preprocess the data with a scaler from sklearn.preprocessing.

New in version 0.17: Stochastic Average Gradient descent solver.

tol : float, optional
Tolerance for stopping criteria.
multi_class : str, {‘ovr’, ‘multinomial’}
Multiclass option can be either ‘ovr’ or ‘multinomial’. If the option chosen is ‘ovr’, then a binary problem is fit for each label. Else the loss minimised is the multinomial loss fit across the entire probability distribution. Works only for the ‘lbfgs’ solver.
verbose : int
For the liblinear and lbfgs solvers set verbose to any positive number for verbosity.
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. Useless for liblinear solver.

New in version 0.17: warm_start to support lbfgs, newton-cg, sag solvers.

n_jobs : int, optional
Number of CPU cores used during the cross-validation loop. If given a value of -1, all cores are used.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape (n_classes, n_features)
Coefficient of the features in the decision function.
intercept_ : array, shape (n_classes,)
Intercept (a.k.a. bias) added to the decision function. If fit_intercept is set to False, the intercept is set to zero.
n_iter_ : array, shape (n_classes,) or (1, )
Actual number of iterations for all classes. If binary or multinomial, it returns only 1 element. For liblinear solver, only the maximum number of iteration across all classes is given.

SGDClassifier : incrementally trained logistic regression (when given
the parameter loss="log").

sklearn.svm.LinearSVC : learns SVM models using the same algorithm.

Notes

The underlying C implementation uses a random number generator to select features when fitting the model. It is thus not uncommon, to have slightly different results for the same input data. If that happens, try with a smaller tol parameter.

Predict output may not match that of standalone liblinear in certain cases. See differences from liblinear in the narrative documentation.

class mdp.nodes.MultiLabelBinarizerScikitsLearnNode

Transform between iterable of iterables and a multilabel format

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.label.MultiLabelBinarizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Although a list of sets or tuples is a very intuitive format for multilabel data, it is unwieldy to process. This transformer converts between this intuitive format and the supported multilabel format: a (samples x classes) binary matrix indicating the presence of a class label.

Parameters

classes : array-like of shape [n_classes] (optional)
Indicates an ordering for the class labels
sparse_output : boolean (default: False),
Set to true if output binary array is desired in CSR sparse format

Attributes

classes_ : array of labels
A copy of the classes parameter where provided, or otherwise, the sorted set of classes found when fitting.

Examples

>>> mlb = MultiLabelBinarizer()
>>> mlb.fit_transform([(1, 2), (3,)])
array([[1, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 1]])
>>> mlb.classes_
array([1, 2, 3])

>>> mlb.fit_transform([set(['sci-fi', 'thriller']), set(['comedy'])])
array([[0, 1, 1],
[1, 0, 0]])
>>> list(mlb.classes_)
['comedy', 'sci-fi', 'thriller']

class mdp.nodes.NuSVCScikitsLearnNode

Nu-Support Vector Classification.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.svm.classes.NuSVC class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Similar to SVC but uses a parameter to control the number of support vectors.

The implementation is based on libsvm.

Read more in the User Guide.

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. It must be one of ‘linear’, ‘poly’, ‘rbf’, ‘sigmoid’, ‘precomputed’ or a callable. If none is given, ‘rbf’ will be used. If a callable is given it is used to precompute the kernel matrix.
degree : int, optional (default=3)
Degree of the polynomial kernel function (‘poly’). Ignored by all other kernels.
gamma : float, optional (default=’auto’)
Kernel coefficient for ‘rbf’, ‘poly’ and ‘sigmoid’. If gamma is ‘auto’ then 1/n_features will be used instead.
coef0 : float, optional (default=0.0)
Independent term in kernel function. It is only significant in ‘poly’ and ‘sigmoid’.
probability : boolean, optional (default=False)
Whether to enable probability estimates. This must be enabled prior to calling fit, and will slow down that method.
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).
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.
verbose : bool, default: False
Enable verbose output. Note that this setting takes advantage of a per-process runtime setting in libsvm that, if enabled, may not work properly in a multithreaded context.
max_iter : int, optional (default=-1)
Hard limit on iterations within solver, or -1 for no limit.
decision_function_shape : ‘ovo’, ‘ovr’ or None, default=None

Whether to return a one-vs-rest (‘ovr’) ecision function of shape (n_samples, n_classes) as all other classifiers, or the original one-vs-one (‘ovo’) decision function of libsvm which has shape (n_samples, n_classes * (n_classes - 1) / 2). The default of None will currently behave as ‘ovo’ for backward compatibility and raise a deprecation warning, but will change ‘ovr’ in 0.18.

New in version 0.17: decision_function_shape=’ovr’ is recommended.

Changed in version 0.17: Deprecated decision_function_shape=’ovo’ and None.

coef_ : array, shape = [n_class-1, n_features]

Weights assigned to the features (coefficients in the primal problem). This is only available in the case of a linear kernel.

coef_ is readonly property derived from dual_coef_ and support_vectors_.

intercept_ : array, shape = [n_class * (n_class-1) / 2]
Constants in decision function.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [1, 1], [2, 1]])

class mdp.nodes.MiniBatchKMeansScikitsLearnNode

Mini-Batch K-Means clustering

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.cluster.k_means_.MiniBatchKMeans class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Parameters

n_clusters : int, optional, default: 8
The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate.
max_iter : int, optional
Maximum number of iterations over the complete dataset before stopping independently of any early stopping criterion heuristics.
max_no_improvement : int, default: 10

Control early stopping based on the consecutive number of mini batches that does not yield an improvement on the smoothed inertia.

To disable convergence detection based on inertia, set max_no_improvement to None.

tol : float, default: 0.0

Control early stopping based on the relative center changes as measured by a smoothed, variance-normalized of the mean center squared position changes. This early stopping heuristics is closer to the one used for the batch variant of the algorithms but induces a slight computational and memory overhead over the inertia heuristic.

To disable convergence detection based on normalized center change, set tol to 0.0 (default).

batch_size : int, optional, default: 100
Size of the mini batches.
init_size : int, optional, default: 3 * batch_size
Number of samples to randomly sample for speeding up the initialization (sometimes at the expense of accuracy): the only algorithm is initialized by running a batch KMeans on a random subset of the data. This needs to be larger than n_clusters.
init : {‘k-means++’, ‘random’ or an ndarray}, default: ‘k-means++’

Method for initialization, defaults to ‘k-means++’:

‘k-means++’ : selects initial cluster centers for k-mean clustering in a smart way to speed up convergence. See section Notes in k_init for more details.

‘random’: choose k observations (rows) at random from data for the initial centroids.

If an ndarray is passed, it should be of shape (n_clusters, n_features) and gives the initial centers.

n_init : int, default=3
Number of random initializations that are tried. In contrast to KMeans, the algorithm is only run once, using the best of the n_init initializations as measured by inertia.
compute_labels : boolean, default=True
Compute label assignment and inertia for the complete dataset once the minibatch optimization has converged in fit.
random_state : integer or numpy.RandomState, optional
The generator used to initialize the centers. If an integer is given, it fixes the seed. Defaults to the global numpy random number generator.
reassignment_ratio : float, default: 0.01
Control the fraction of the maximum number of counts for a center to be reassigned. A higher value means that low count centers are more easily reassigned, which means that the model will take longer to converge, but should converge in a better clustering.
verbose : boolean, optional
Verbosity mode.

Attributes

cluster_centers_ : array, [n_clusters, n_features]
Coordinates of cluster centers

labels_ :

• Labels of each point (if compute_labels is set to True).
inertia_ : float
The value of the inertia criterion associated with the chosen partition (if compute_labels is set to True). The inertia is defined as the sum of square distances of samples to their nearest neighbor.

class mdp.nodes.LassoLarsScikitsLearnNode

Lasso model fit with Least Angle Regression a.k.a. Lars

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.least_angle.LassoLars class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

It is a Linear Model trained with an L1 prior as regularizer.

The optimization objective for Lasso is:

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


Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

alpha : float
Constant that multiplies the penalty term. Defaults to 1.0. alpha = 0 is equivalent to an ordinary least square, solved by LinearRegression. For numerical reasons, using alpha = 0 with the LassoLars object is not advised and you should prefer 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).
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 will not converge to the ordinary-least-squares solution for small values of alpha. Only coeffiencts 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.
verbose : boolean or integer, optional
Sets the verbosity amount
normalize : boolean, optional, default False
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
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.
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.
fit_path : boolean
If True the full path is stored in the coef_path_ attribute. If you compute the solution for a large problem or many targets, setting fit_path to False will lead to a speedup, especially with a small alpha.

Attributes

alphas_ : array, shape (n_alphas + 1,) | list of n_targets such arrays
Maximum of covariances (in absolute value) at each iteration. n_alphas is either max_iter, n_features, or the number of nodes in the path with correlation greater than alpha, whichever is smaller.
active_ : list, length = n_alphas | list of n_targets such lists
Indices of active variables at the end of the path.
coef_path_ : array, shape (n_features, n_alphas + 1) or list
If a list is passed it’s expected to be one of n_targets such arrays. The varying values of the coefficients along the path. It is not present if the fit_path parameter is False.
coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) or (n_targets, n_features)
Parameter vector (w in the formulation formula).
intercept_ : float | array, shape (n_targets,)
Independent term in decision function.
n_iter_ : array-like or int.
The number of iterations taken by lars_path to find the grid of alphas for each target.

Examples

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.coordinate_descent.Lasso class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

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.

Parameters

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 is with the Lasso object is not advised and you should prefer the LinearRegression object.
fit_intercept : boolean

If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
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. For sparse input this option is always True to preserve sparsity. WARNING : The 'auto' option is deprecated and will be removed in 0.18.
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.
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.
random_state : int, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Useful only when selection is set to ‘random’.

Attributes

class mdp.nodes.RANSACRegressorScikitsLearnNode

RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus) algorithm.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.ransac.RANSACRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

RANSAC is an iterative algorithm for the robust estimation of parameters from a subset of inliers from the complete data set. More information can be found in the general documentation of linear models.

A detailed description of the algorithm can be found in the documentation of the linear_model sub-package.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

base_estimator : object, optional

Base estimator object which implements the following methods:

• fit(X, y): Fit model to given training data and target values.
• score(X, y): Returns the mean accuracy on the given test data, which is used for the stop criterion defined by stop_score. Additionally, the score is used to decide which of two equally large consensus sets is chosen as the better one.

If base_estimator is None, then base_estimator=sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression() is used for target values of dtype float.

Note that the current implementation only supports regression estimators.

min_samples : int (>= 1) or float ([0, 1]), optional
Minimum number of samples chosen randomly from original data. Treated as an absolute number of samples for min_samples >= 1, treated as a relative number ceil(min_samples * X.shape[0]) for min_samples < 1. This is typically chosen as the minimal number of samples necessary to estimate the given base_estimator. By default a sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression() estimator is assumed and min_samples is chosen as X.shape[1] + 1.
residual_threshold : float, optional
Maximum residual for a data sample to be classified as an inlier. By default the threshold is chosen as the MAD (median absolute deviation) of the target values y.
is_data_valid : callable, optional
This function is called with the randomly selected data before the model is fitted to it: is_data_valid(X, y). If its return value is False the current randomly chosen sub-sample is skipped.
is_model_valid : callable, optional
This function is called with the estimated model and the randomly selected data: is_model_valid(model, X, y). If its return value is False the current randomly chosen sub-sample is skipped. Rejecting samples with this function is computationally costlier than with is_data_valid. is_model_valid should therefore only be used if the estimated model is needed for making the rejection decision.
max_trials : int, optional
Maximum number of iterations for random sample selection.
stop_n_inliers : int, optional
Stop iteration if at least this number of inliers are found.
stop_score : float, optional
Stop iteration if score is greater equal than this threshold.
stop_probability : float in range [0, 1], optional

RANSAC iteration stops if at least one outlier-free set of the training data is sampled in RANSAC. This requires to generate at least N samples (iterations):

N >= log(1 - probability) / log(1 - e**m)


where the probability (confidence) is typically set to high value such as 0.99 (the default) and e is the current fraction of inliers w.r.t. the total number of samples.

residual_metric : callable, optional

Metric to reduce the dimensionality of the residuals to 1 for multi-dimensional target values y.shape[1] > 1. By default the sum of absolute differences is used:

lambda dy: np.sum(np.abs(dy), axis=1)

random_state : integer or numpy.RandomState, optional
The generator used to initialize the centers. If an integer is given, it fixes the seed. Defaults to the global numpy random number generator.

Attributes

estimator_ : object
Best fitted model (copy of the base_estimator object).
n_trials_ : int
Number of random selection trials until one of the stop criteria is met. It is always <= max_trials.
inlier_mask_ : bool array of shape [n_samples]
Boolean mask of inliers classified as True.

class mdp.nodes.TruncatedSVDScikitsLearnNode

Dimensionality reduction using truncated SVD (aka LSA).

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.decomposition.truncated_svd.TruncatedSVD class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This transformer performs linear dimensionality reduction by means of truncated singular value decomposition (SVD). It is very similar to PCA, but operates on sample vectors directly, instead of on a covariance matrix. This means it can work with scipy.sparse matrices efficiently.

In particular, truncated SVD works on term count/tf-idf matrices as returned by the vectorizers in sklearn.feature_extraction.text. In that context, it is known as latent semantic analysis (LSA).

This estimator supports two algorithm: a fast randomized SVD solver, and a “naive” algorithm that uses ARPACK as an eigensolver on (X * X.T) or (X.T * X), whichever is more efficient.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components : int, default = 2
Desired dimensionality of output data. Must be strictly less than the number of features. The default value is useful for visualisation. For LSA, a value of 100 is recommended.
algorithm : string, default = “randomized”

n_iter : int, optional
Number of iterations for randomized SVD solver. Not used by ARPACK.
random_state : int or RandomState, optional
(Seed for) pseudo-random number generator. If not given, the numpy.random singleton is used.
tol : float, optional
Tolerance for ARPACK. 0 means machine precision. Ignored by randomized SVD solver.

Attributes

components_ : array, shape (n_components, n_features)

explained_variance_ratio_ : array, [n_components]
Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components.
explained_variance_ : array, [n_components]
The variance of the training samples transformed by a projection to each component.

>>> from sklearn.decomposition import TruncatedSVD
>>> from sklearn.random_projection import sparse_random_matrix
>>> X = sparse_random_matrix(100, 100, density=0.01, random_state=42)
>>> svd = TruncatedSVD(n_components=5, random_state=42)
>>> svd.fit(X)
TruncatedSVD(algorithm='randomized', n_components=5, n_iter=5,
random_state=42, tol=0.0)
>>> print(svd.explained_variance_ratio_)

class mdp.nodes.LogOddsEstimatorScikitsLearnNode

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.gradient_boosting.LogOddsEstimator class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Full API documentation: LogOddsEstimatorScikitsLearnNode

class mdp.nodes.RandomizedSearchCVScikitsLearnNode

Randomized search on hyper parameters.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.grid_search.RandomizedSearchCV class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

RandomizedSearchCV implements a “fit” and a “score” method. It also implements “predict”, “predict_proba”, “decision_function”, “transform” and “inverse_transform” if they are implemented in the estimator used.

The parameters of the estimator used to apply these methods are optimized by cross-validated search over parameter settings.

In contrast to GridSearchCV, not all parameter values are tried out, but rather a fixed number of parameter settings is sampled from the specified distributions. The number of parameter settings that are tried is given by n_iter.

If all parameters are presented as a list, sampling without replacement is performed. If at least one parameter is given as a distribution, sampling with replacement is used. It is highly recommended to use continuous distributions for continuous parameters.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

estimator : estimator object.
A object of that type is instantiated for each grid point. This is assumed to implement the scikit-learn estimator interface. Either estimator needs to provide a score function, or scoring must be passed.
param_distributions : dict
Dictionary with parameters names (string) as keys and distributions or lists of parameters to try. Distributions must provide a rvs method for sampling (such as those from scipy.stats.distributions). If a list is given, it is sampled uniformly.
n_iter : int, default=10
Number of parameter settings that are sampled. n_iter trades off runtime vs quality of the solution.
scoring : string, callable or None, default=None
A string (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y). If None, the score method of the estimator is used.
fit_params : dict, optional
Parameters to pass to the fit method.
n_jobs : int, default=1
Number of jobs to run in parallel.
pre_dispatch : int, or string, optional

Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:

• None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs
• An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned
• A string, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’
iid : boolean, default=True
If True, the data is assumed to be identically distributed across the folds, and the loss minimized is the total loss per sample, and not the mean loss across the folds.
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, if y is binary or multiclass, StratifiedKFold used. If the estimator is a classifier or if y is neither binary nor multiclass, KFold is used.

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

refit : boolean, default=True
Refit the best estimator with the entire dataset. If “False”, it is impossible to make predictions using this RandomizedSearchCV instance after fitting.
verbose : integer
Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages.
random_state : int or RandomState
Pseudo random number generator state used for random uniform sampling from lists of possible values instead of scipy.stats distributions.
error_score : ‘raise’ (default) or numeric
Value to assign to the score if an error occurs in estimator fitting. If set to ‘raise’, the error is raised. If a numeric value is given, FitFailedWarning is raised. This parameter does not affect the refit step, which will always raise the error.

Attributes

grid_scores_ : list of named tuples

Contains scores for all parameter combinations in param_grid. Each entry corresponds to one parameter setting. Each named tuple has the attributes:

• parameters, a dict of parameter settings
• mean_validation_score, the mean score over the cross-validation folds
• cv_validation_scores, the list of scores for each fold
best_estimator_ : estimator
Estimator that was chosen by the search, i.e. estimator which gave highest score (or smallest loss if specified) on the left out data. Not available if refit=False.
best_score_ : float
Score of best_estimator on the left out data.
best_params_ : dict
Parameter setting that gave the best results on the hold out data.

Notes

The parameters selected are those that maximize the score of the held-out data, according to the scoring parameter.

If n_jobs was set to a value higher than one, the data is copied for each parameter setting(and not n_jobs times). This is done for efficiency reasons if individual jobs take very little time, but may raise errors if the dataset is large and not enough memory is available. A workaround in this case is to set pre_dispatch. Then, the memory is copied only pre_dispatch many times. A reasonable value for pre_dispatch is 2 * n_jobs.

GridSearchCV:

• Does exhaustive search over a grid of parameters.

ParameterSampler:

• A generator over parameter settins, constructed from
• param_distributions.

class mdp.nodes.ProjectedGradientNMFScikitsLearnNode

Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF)

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.decomposition.nmf.ProjectedGradientNMF class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Find two non-negative matrices (W, H) whose product approximates the non- negative matrix X. This factorization can be used for example for dimensionality reduction, source separation or topic extraction.

The objective function is:

0.5 * ||X - WH||_Fro^2
+ alpha * l1_ratio * ||vec(W)||_1
+ alpha * l1_ratio * ||vec(H)||_1
+ 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||W||_Fro^2
+ 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||H||_Fro^2


Where:

||A||_Fro^2 = \sum_{i,j} A_{ij}^2 (Frobenius norm)
||vec(A)||_1 = \sum_{i,j} abs(A_{ij}) (Elementwise L1 norm)


The objective function is minimized with an alternating minimization of W and H.

class mdp.nodes.SGDClassifierScikitsLearnNode

Linear classifiers (SVM, logistic regression, a.o.) with SGD training.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.stochastic_gradient.SGDClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This estimator implements regularized linear models with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) learning: the gradient of the loss is estimated each sample at a time and the model is updated along the way with a decreasing strength schedule (aka learning rate). SGD allows minibatch (online/out-of-core) learning, see the partial_fit method. For best results using the default learning rate schedule, the data should have zero mean and unit variance.

This implementation works with data represented as dense or sparse arrays of floating point values for the features. The model it fits can be controlled with the loss parameter; by default, it fits a linear support vector machine (SVM).

The regularizer is a penalty added to the loss function that shrinks model parameters towards the zero vector using either the squared euclidean norm L2 or the absolute norm L1 or a combination of both (Elastic Net). If the parameter update crosses the 0.0 value because of the regularizer, the update is truncated to 0.0 to allow for learning sparse models and achieve online feature selection.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

loss : str, ‘hinge’, ‘log’, ‘modified_huber’, ‘squared_hinge’, ‘perceptron’, or a regression loss: ‘squared_loss’, ‘huber’, ‘epsilon_insensitive’, or ‘squared_epsilon_insensitive’
The loss function to be used. Defaults to ‘hinge’, which gives a linear SVM. The ‘log’ loss gives logistic regression, a probabilistic classifier. ‘modified_huber’ is another smooth loss that brings tolerance to outliers as well as probability estimates. ‘squared_hinge’ is like hinge but is quadratically penalized. ‘perceptron’ is the linear loss used by the perceptron algorithm. The other losses are designed for regression but can be useful in classification as well; see SGDRegressor for a description.
penalty : str, ‘none’, ‘l2’, ‘l1’, or ‘elasticnet’
The penalty (aka regularization term) to be used. Defaults to ‘l2’ which is the standard regularizer for linear SVM models. ‘l1’ and ‘elasticnet’ might bring sparsity to the model (feature selection) not achievable with ‘l2’.
alpha : float
Constant that multiplies the regularization term. Defaults to 0.0001 Also used to compute learning_rate when set to ‘optimal’.
l1_ratio : float
The Elastic Net mixing parameter, with 0 <= l1_ratio <= 1. l1_ratio=0 corresponds to L2 penalty, l1_ratio=1 to L1. Defaults to 0.15.
fit_intercept : bool
Whether the intercept should be estimated or not. If False, the data is assumed to be already centered. Defaults to True.
n_iter : int, optional
The number of passes over the training data (aka epochs). The number of iterations is set to 1 if using partial_fit. Defaults to 5.
shuffle : bool, optional
Whether or not the training data should be shuffled after each epoch. Defaults to True.
random_state : int seed, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data.
verbose : integer, optional
The verbosity level
epsilon : float
Epsilon in the epsilon-insensitive loss functions; only if loss is ‘huber’, ‘epsilon_insensitive’, or ‘squared_epsilon_insensitive’. For ‘huber’, determines the threshold at which it becomes less important to get the prediction exactly right. For epsilon-insensitive, any differences between the current prediction and the correct label are ignored if they are less than this threshold.
n_jobs : integer, optional
The number of CPUs to use to do the OVA (One Versus All, for multi-class problems) computation. -1 means ‘all CPUs’. Defaults to 1.
learning_rate : string, optional

The learning rate schedule:

• constant: eta = eta0
• optimal: eta = 1.0 / (alpha * (t + t0)) [default]
• invscaling: eta = eta0 / pow(t, power_t)
• where t0 is chosen by a heuristic proposed by Leon Bottou.
eta0 : double
The initial learning rate for the ‘constant’ or ‘invscaling’ schedules. The default value is 0.0 as eta0 is not used by the default schedule ‘optimal’.
power_t : double
The exponent for inverse scaling learning rate [default 0.5].
class_weight : dict, {class_label: weight} or “balanced” or None, optional

Preset for the class_weight fit parameter.

Weights associated with classes. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y))

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.
average : bool or int, optional
When set to True, computes the averaged SGD weights and stores the result in the coef_ attribute. If set to an int greater than 1, averaging will begin once the total number of samples seen reaches average. So average=10 will begin averaging after seeing 10 samples.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape (1, n_features) if n_classes == 2 else (n_classes, n_features)
Weights assigned to the features.
intercept_ : array, shape (1,) if n_classes == 2 else (n_classes,)
Constants in decision function.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sklearn import linear_model
>>> X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [1, 1], [2, 1]])

class mdp.nodes.MeanShiftScikitsLearnNode

Mean shift clustering using a flat kernel.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.cluster.mean_shift_.MeanShift class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Mean shift clustering aims to discover “blobs” in a smooth density of samples. It is a centroid-based algorithm, which works by updating candidates for centroids to be the mean of the points within a given region. These candidates are then filtered in a post-processing stage to eliminate near-duplicates to form the final set of centroids.

Seeding is performed using a binning technique for scalability.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

bandwidth : float, optional

Bandwidth used in the RBF kernel.

If not given, the bandwidth is estimated using sklearn.cluster.estimate_bandwidth; see the documentation for that function for hints on scalability (see also the Notes, below).

seeds : array, shape=[n_samples, n_features], optional
Seeds used to initialize kernels. If not set, the seeds are calculated by clustering.get_bin_seeds with bandwidth as the grid size and default values for other parameters.
bin_seeding : boolean, optional
If true, initial kernel locations are not locations of all points, but rather the location of the discretized version of points, where points are binned onto a grid whose coarseness corresponds to the bandwidth. Setting this option to True will speed up the algorithm because fewer seeds will be initialized. default value: False Ignored if seeds argument is not None.
min_bin_freq : int, optional
To speed up the algorithm, accept only those bins with at least min_bin_freq points as seeds. If not defined, set to 1.
cluster_all : boolean, default True
If true, then all points are clustered, even those orphans that are not within any kernel. Orphans are assigned to the nearest kernel. If false, then orphans are given cluster label -1.
n_jobs : int

The number of jobs to use for the computation. This works by computing each of the n_init runs in parallel.

If -1 all CPUs are used. If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, which is useful for debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used.

Attributes

cluster_centers_ : array, [n_clusters, n_features]
Coordinates of cluster centers.

labels_ :

• Labels of each point.

Notes

Scalability:

Because this implementation uses a flat kernel and a Ball Tree to look up members of each kernel, the complexity will is to O(T*n*log(n)) in lower dimensions, with n the number of samples and T the number of points. In higher dimensions the complexity will tend towards O(T*n^2).

Scalability can be boosted by using fewer seeds, for example by using a higher value of min_bin_freq in the get_bin_seeds function.

Note that the estimate_bandwidth function is much less scalable than the mean shift algorithm and will be the bottleneck if it is used.

class mdp.nodes.OneVsOneClassifierScikitsLearnNode

One-vs-one multiclass strategy

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.multiclass.OneVsOneClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This strategy consists in fitting one classifier per class pair. At prediction time, the class which received the most votes is selected. Since it requires to fit n_classes * (n_classes - 1) / 2 classifiers, this method is usually slower than one-vs-the-rest, due to its O(n_classes^2) complexity. However, this method may be advantageous for algorithms such as kernel algorithms which don’t scale well with n_samples. This is because each individual learning problem only involves a small subset of the data whereas, with one-vs-the-rest, the complete dataset is used n_classes times.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

estimator : estimator object
An estimator object implementing fit and one of decision_function or predict_proba.
n_jobs : int, optional, default: 1
The number of jobs to use for the computation. If -1 all CPUs are used. If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, which is useful for debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used.

Attributes

estimators_ : list of n_classes * (n_classes - 1) / 2 estimators
Estimators used for predictions.
classes_ : numpy array of shape [n_classes]
Array containing labels.

the maximum number of iterations of the NIPALS inner loop
tol : non-negative real, default 1e-06.
the tolerance used in the iterative algorithm
copy : boolean
Whether the deflation be done on a copy. Let the default value to True unless you don’t care about side effects

Attributes

x_weights_ : array, [p, n_components]
X block weights vectors.
y_weights_ : array, [q, n_components]
Y block weights vectors.
x_loadings_ : array, [p, n_components]
y_loadings_ : array, [q, n_components]

Notes

For each component k, find the weights u, v that maximizes max corr(Xk u, Yk v), such that |u| = |v| = 1

Note that it maximizes only the correlations between the scores.

The residual matrix of X (Xk+1) block is obtained by the deflation on the current X score: x_score.

The residual matrix of Y (Yk+1) block is obtained by deflation on the current Y score.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.cross_decomposition import CCA
>>> X = [[0., 0., 1.], [1.,0.,0.], [2.,2.,2.], [3.,5.,4.]]
>>> Y = [[0.1, -0.2], [0.9, 1.1], [6.2, 5.9], [11.9, 12.3]]
>>> cca = CCA(n_components=1)
>>> cca.fit(X, Y)
...
CCA(copy=True, max_iter=500, n_components=1, scale=True, tol=1e-06)
>>> X_c, Y_c = cca.transform(X, Y)

class mdp.nodes.KernelCentererScikitsLearnNode

Center a kernel matrix

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.KernelCenterer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Let K(x, z) be a kernel defined by phi(x)^T phi(z), where phi is a function mapping x to a Hilbert space. KernelCenterer centers (i.e., normalize to have zero mean) the data without explicitly computing phi(x). It is equivalent to centering phi(x) with sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler(with_std=False).

class mdp.nodes.AdaBoostRegressorScikitsLearnNode

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.weight_boosting.AdaBoostRegressor class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

An AdaBoost [1] regressor is a meta-estimator that begins by fitting a regressor on the original dataset and then fits additional copies of the regressor on the same dataset but where the weights of instances are adjusted according to the error of the current prediction. As such, subsequent regressors focus more on difficult cases.

This class implements the algorithm known as AdaBoost.R2 [2].

class mdp.nodes.CalibratedClassifierCVScikitsLearnNode

Probability calibration with isotonic regression or sigmoid.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.calibration.CalibratedClassifierCV class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

With this class, the base_estimator is fit on the train set of the cross-validation generator and the test set is used for calibration. The probabilities for each of the folds are then averaged for prediction. In case that cv=”prefit” is passed to __init__, it is it is assumed that base_estimator has been fitted already and all data is used for calibration. Note that data for fitting the classifier and for calibrating it must be disjoint.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

base_estimator : instance BaseEstimator
The classifier whose output decision function needs to be calibrated to offer more accurate predict_proba outputs. If cv=prefit, the classifier must have been fit already on data.
method : ‘sigmoid’ or ‘isotonic’
The method to use for calibration. Can be ‘sigmoid’ which corresponds to Platt’s method or ‘isotonic’ which is a non-parameteric approach. It is not advised to use isotonic calibration with too few calibration samples (<<1000) since it tends to overfit. Use sigmoids (Platt’s calibration) in this case.
cv : integer, cross-validation generator, iterable or “prefit”, 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, if y is binary or multiclass, StratifiedKFold used. If y is neither binary nor multiclass, KFold is used.

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

If “prefit” is passed, it is assumed that base_estimator has been fitted already and all data is used for calibration.

Attributes

classes_ : array, shape (n_classes)
The class labels.
calibrated_classifiers_: list (len() equal to cv or 1 if cv == “prefit”)
The list of calibrated classifiers, one for each crossvalidation fold, which has been fitted on all but the validation fold and calibrated on the validation fold.

class mdp.nodes.ExtraTreeClassifierScikitsLearnNode

An extremely randomized tree classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.tree.tree.ExtraTreeClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Extra-trees differ from classic decision trees in the way they are built. When looking for the best split to separate the samples of a node into two groups, random splits are drawn for each of the max_features randomly selected features and the best split among those is chosen. When max_features is set 1, this amounts to building a totally random decision tree.

Warning: Extra-trees should only be used within ensemble methods.

Parameters

score_func : callable
Function taking two arrays X and y, and returning a pair of arrays (scores, pvalues).

Scores of features.
pvalues_ : array-like, shape=(n_features,)
p-values of feature scores.

class mdp.nodes.NormalizerScikitsLearnNode

Normalize samples individually to unit norm.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.Normalizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Each sample (i.e. each row of the data matrix) with at least one non zero component is rescaled independently of other samples so that its norm (l1 or l2) equals one.

This transformer is able to work both with dense numpy arrays and scipy.sparse matrix (use CSR format if you want to avoid the burden of a copy / conversion).

Scaling inputs to unit norms is a common operation for text classification or clustering for instance. For instance the dot product of two l2-normalized TF-IDF vectors is the cosine similarity of the vectors and is the base similarity metric for the Vector Space Model commonly used by the Information Retrieval community.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

norm : ‘l1’, ‘l2’, or ‘max’, optional (‘l2’ by default)
The norm to use to normalize each non zero sample.
copy : boolean, optional, default True
set to False to perform inplace row normalization and avoid a copy (if the input is already a numpy array or a scipy.sparse CSR matrix).

Notes

This estimator is stateless (besides constructor parameters), the fit method does nothing but is useful when used in a pipeline.

class mdp.nodes.TfidfTransformerScikitsLearnNode

Transform a count matrix to a normalized tf or tf-idf representation

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_extraction.text.TfidfTransformer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Tf means term-frequency while tf-idf means term-frequency times inverse document-frequency. This is a common term weighting scheme in information retrieval, that has also found good use in document classification.

The goal of using tf-idf instead of the raw frequencies of occurrence of a token in a given document is to scale down the impact of tokens that occur very frequently in a given corpus and that are hence empirically less informative than features that occur in a small fraction of the training corpus.

The actual formula used for tf-idf is tf * (idf + 1) = tf + tf * idf, instead of tf * idf. The effect of this is that terms with zero idf, i.e. that occur in all documents of a training set, will not be entirely ignored. The formulas used to compute tf and idf depend on parameter settings that correspond to the SMART notation used in IR, as follows:

Tf is “n” (natural) by default, “l” (logarithmic) when sublinear_tf=True. Idf is “t” when use_idf is given, “n” (none) otherwise. Normalization is “c” (cosine) when norm=’l2’, “n” (none) when norm=None.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

norm : ‘l1’, ‘l2’ or None, optional
Norm used to normalize term vectors. None for no normalization.
use_idf : boolean, default=True
Enable inverse-document-frequency reweighting.
smooth_idf : boolean, default=True
Smooth idf weights by adding one to document frequencies, as if an extra document was seen containing every term in the collection exactly once. Prevents zero divisions.
sublinear_tf : boolean, default=False
Apply sublinear tf scaling, i.e. replace tf with 1 + log(tf).

class mdp.nodes.GradientBoostingClassifierScikitsLearnNode

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.gradient_boosting.GradientBoostingClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

GB builds an additive model in a forward stage-wise fashion; it allows for the optimization of arbitrary differentiable loss functions. In each stage n_classes_ regression trees are fit on the negative gradient of the binomial or multinomial deviance loss function. Binary classification is a special case where only a single regression tree is induced.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

loss : {‘deviance’, ‘exponential’}, optional (default=’deviance’)
loss function to be optimized. ‘deviance’ refers to deviance (= logistic regression) for classification with probabilistic outputs. For loss ‘exponential’ gradient boosting recovers the AdaBoost algorithm.
learning_rate : float, optional (default=0.1)
learning rate shrinks the contribution of each tree by learning_rate. There is a trade-off between learning_rate and n_estimators.
n_estimators : int (default=100)
The number of boosting stages to perform. Gradient boosting is fairly robust to over-fitting so a large number usually results in better performance.
max_depth : integer, optional (default=3)
maximum depth of the individual regression estimators. The maximum depth limits the number of nodes in the tree. Tune this parameter for best performance; the best value depends on the interaction of the input variables. Ignored if max_leaf_nodes is not None.
min_samples_split : integer, optional (default=2)
The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node.
min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)
The minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node.
min_weight_fraction_leaf : float, optional (default=0.)
The minimum weighted fraction of the input samples required to be at a leaf node.
subsample : float, optional (default=1.0)
The fraction of samples to be used for fitting the individual base learners. If smaller than 1.0 this results in Stochastic Gradient Boosting. subsample interacts with the parameter n_estimators. Choosing subsample < 1.0 leads to a reduction of variance and an increase in bias.
max_features : int, float, string or None, optional (default=None)

The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:

• If int, then consider max_features features at each split.
• If float, then max_features is a percentage and
• int(max_features * n_features) features are considered at each
• split.
• If “auto”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
• If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
• If None, then max_features=n_features.

Choosing max_features < n_features leads to a reduction of variance and an increase in bias.

Note: the search for a split does not stop until at least one valid partition of the node samples is found, even if it requires to effectively inspect more than max_features features.

max_leaf_nodes : int or None, optional (default=None)
Grow trees with max_leaf_nodes in best-first fashion. Best nodes are defined as relative reduction in impurity. If None then unlimited number of leaf nodes. If not None then max_depth will be ignored.
init : BaseEstimator, None, optional (default=None)
An estimator object that is used to compute the initial predictions. init has to provide fit and predict. If None it uses loss.init_estimator.
verbose : int, default: 0
Enable verbose output. If 1 then it prints progress and performance once in a while (the more trees the lower the frequency). If greater than 1 then it prints progress and performance for every tree.
warm_start : bool, default: False
When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
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.
presort : bool or ‘auto’, optional (default=’auto’)

Whether to presort the data to speed up the finding of best splits in fitting. Auto mode by default will use presorting on dense data and default to normal sorting on sparse data. Setting presort to true on sparse data will raise an error.

New in version 0.17: presort parameter.

Attributes

feature_importances_ : array, shape = [n_features]
The feature importances (the higher, the more important the feature).
oob_improvement_ : array, shape = [n_estimators]
The improvement in loss (= deviance) on the out-of-bag samples relative to the previous iteration. oob_improvement_[0] is the improvement in loss of the first stage over the init estimator.
train_score_ : array, shape = [n_estimators]
The i-th score train_score_[i] is the deviance (= loss) of the model at iteration i on the in-bag sample. If subsample == 1 this is the deviance on the training data.
loss_ : LossFunction
The concrete LossFunction object.
init : BaseEstimator
The estimator that provides the initial predictions. Set via the init argument or loss.init_estimator.
estimators_ : ndarray of DecisionTreeRegressor, shape = [n_estimators, loss_.K]
The collection of fitted sub-estimators. loss_.K is 1 for binary classification, otherwise n_classes.

class mdp.nodes.RadiusNeighborsClassifierScikitsLearnNode

Classifier implementing a vote among neighbors within a given radius

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.neighbors.classification.RadiusNeighborsClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

radius : float, optional (default = 1.0)
Range of parameter space to use by default for :methradius_neighbors queries.
weights : str or callable

weight function used in prediction. Possible values:

• ‘uniform’ : uniform weights. All points in each neighborhood are weighted equally.
• ‘distance’ : weight points by the inverse of their distance. in this case, closer neighbors of a query point will have a greater influence than neighbors which are further away.
• [callable] : a user-defined function which accepts an array of distances, and returns an array of the same shape containing the weights.

Uniform weights are used by default.

algorithm : {‘auto’, ‘ball_tree’, ‘kd_tree’, ‘brute’}, optional

Algorithm used to compute the nearest neighbors:

• ‘ball_tree’ will use BallTree
• ‘kd_tree’ will use KDtree
• ‘brute’ will use a brute-force search.
• ‘auto’ will attempt to decide the most appropriate algorithm based on the values passed to fit() method.

Note: fitting on sparse input will override the setting of this parameter, using brute force.

leaf_size : int, optional (default = 30)
Leaf size passed to BallTree or KDTree. This can affect the speed of the construction and query, as well as the memory required to store the tree. The optimal value depends on the nature of the problem.
metric : string or DistanceMetric object (default=’minkowski’)
the distance metric to use for the tree. The default metric is minkowski, and with p=2 is equivalent to the standard Euclidean metric. See the documentation of the DistanceMetric class for a list of available metrics.
p : integer, optional (default = 2)
Power parameter for the Minkowski metric. When p = 1, this is equivalent to using manhattan_distance (l1), and euclidean_distance (l2) for p = 2. For arbitrary p, minkowski_distance (l_p) is used.
outlier_label : int, optional (default = None)
Label, which is given for outlier samples (samples with no neighbors on given radius). If set to None, ValueError is raised, when outlier is detected.
metric_params : dict, optional (default = None)
Additional keyword arguments for the metric function.

Examples

>>> X = [[0], [1], [2], [3]]
>>> y = [0, 0, 1, 1]
>>> neigh.fit(X, y)
>>> print(neigh.predict([[1.5]]))
[0]

class mdp.nodes.LassoLarsCVScikitsLearnNode

Cross-validated Lasso, using the LARS algorithm

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.least_angle.LassoLarsCV class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

The optimization objective for Lasso is:

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


Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

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).
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 coeffiencts 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 LassoLarsCV only makes sense for problems where a sparse solution is expected and/or reached.

Notes

The object solves the same problem as the LassoCV object. However, unlike the LassoCV, it find the relevant alphas values by itself. In general, because of this property, it will be more stable. However, it is more fragile to heavily multicollinear datasets.

It is more efficient than the LassoCV if only a small number of features are selected compared to the total number, for instance if there are very few samples compared to the number of features.

class mdp.nodes.RobustScalerScikitsLearnNode

Scale features using statistics that are robust to outliers.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.data.RobustScaler class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This Scaler removes the median and scales the data according to the Interquartile Range (IQR). The IQR is the range between the 1st quartile (25th quantile) and the 3rd quartile (75th quantile).

Centering and scaling happen independently on each feature (or each sample, depending on the axis argument) by computing the relevant statistics on the samples in the training set. Median and interquartile range are then stored to be used on later data using the transform method.

Standardization of a dataset is a common requirement for many machine learning estimators. Typically this is done by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance. However, outliers can often influence the sample mean / variance in a negative way. In such cases, the median and the interquartile range often give better results.

New in version 0.17.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

with_centering : boolean, True by default
If True, center the data before scaling. This does not work (and will raise an exception) when attempted on sparse matrices, because centering them entails building a dense matrix which in common use cases is likely to be too large to fit in memory.
with_scaling : boolean, True by default
If True, scale the data to interquartile range.
copy : boolean, optional, default is True
If False, try to avoid a copy and do inplace scaling instead. This is not guaranteed to always work inplace; e.g. if the data is not a NumPy array or scipy.sparse CSR matrix, a copy may still be returned.

Attributes

center_ : array of floats
The median value for each feature in the training set.
scale_ : array of floats

The (scaled) interquartile range for each feature in the training set.

New in version 0.17: scale_ attribute.

sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler to perform centering and scaling using mean and variance.

sklearn.decomposition.RandomizedPCA with whiten=True to further remove the linear correlation across features.

Notes

See examples/preprocessing/plot_robust_scaling.py for an example.

class mdp.nodes.BaggingClassifierScikitsLearnNode

A Bagging classifier.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.ensemble.bagging.BaggingClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

A Bagging classifier is an ensemble meta-estimator that fits base classifiers each on random subsets of the original dataset and then aggregate their individual predictions (either by voting or by averaging) to form a final prediction. Such a meta-estimator can typically be used as a way to reduce the variance of a black-box estimator (e.g., a decision tree), by introducing randomization into its construction procedure and then making an ensemble out of it.

This algorithm encompasses several works from the literature. When random subsets of the dataset are drawn as random subsets of the samples, then this algorithm is known as Pasting [1]_. If samples are drawn with replacement, then the method is known as Bagging [2]_. When random subsets of the dataset are drawn as random subsets of the features, then the method is known as Random Subspaces [3]_. Finally, when base estimators are built on subsets of both samples and features, then the method is known as Random Patches [4]_.

class mdp.nodes.MultiTaskElasticNetCVScikitsLearnNode

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

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.coordinate_descent.MultiTaskElasticNetCV class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

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.

Parameters

eps : float, optional
Length of the path. eps=1e-3 means that alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3.
alphas : array-like, optional
List of alphas where to compute the models. If not provided, set automatically.
n_alphas : int, optional
Number of alphas along the regularization path
l1_ratio : float or array of floats
The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with 0 < l1_ratio <= 1. For l1_ratio = 0 the penalty is an L1/L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 1 it is an L1 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]
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
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
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.
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.

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.
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.
random_state : int, RandomState instance, or None (default)
The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random feature to update. Useful only when selection is set to ‘random’.

Attributes

intercept_ : array, shape (n_tasks,)
Independent term in decision function.
coef_ : array, shape (n_tasks, n_features)
Parameter vector (W in the cost function formula).
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.

Examples

>>> from sklearn import linear_model
>>> clf.fit([[0,0], [1, 1], [2, 2]],
...         [[0, 0], [1, 1], [2, 2]])
...
fit_intercept=True, l1_ratio=0.5, max_iter=1000, n_alphas=100,
n_jobs=1, normalize=False, random_state=None, selection='cyclic',
tol=0.0001, verbose=0)
>>> print(clf.coef_)
[[ 0.52875032  0.46958558]
[ 0.52875032  0.46958558]]
>>> print(clf.intercept_)
[ 0.00166409  0.00166409]


Notes

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.

class mdp.nodes.PLSRegressionScikitsLearnNode

PLS regression

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.cross_decomposition.pls_.PLSRegression class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

PLSRegression implements the PLS 2 blocks regression known as PLS2 or PLS1 in case of one dimensional response. This class inherits from _PLS with mode=”A”, deflation_mode=”regression”, norm_y_weights=False and algorithm=”nipals”.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_components : int, (default 2)
Number of components to keep.
scale : boolean, (default True)
whether to scale the data
max_iter : an integer, (default 500)
the maximum number of iterations of the NIPALS inner loop (used only if algorithm=”nipals”)
tol : non-negative real
Tolerance used in the iterative algorithm default 1e-06.
copy : boolean, default True
Whether the deflation should be done on a copy. Let the default value to True unless you don’t care about side effect

Attributes

x_weights_ : array, [p, n_components]
X block weights vectors.
y_weights_ : array, [q, n_components]
Y block weights vectors.
x_loadings_ : array, [p, n_components]
y_loadings_ : array, [q, n_components]
x_scores_ : array, [n_samples, n_components]
X scores.
y_scores_ : array, [n_samples, n_components]
Y scores.
x_rotations_ : array, [p, n_components]
X block to latents rotations.
y_rotations_ : array, [q, n_components]
Y block to latents rotations.
coef_: array, [p, q]
The coefficients of the linear model: Y = X coef_ + Err
n_iter_ : array-like
Number of iterations of the NIPALS inner loop for each component.

Notes

Matrices:

T: x_scores_
U: y_scores_
W: x_weights_
C: y_weights_
P: x_loadings_
Q: y_loadings__


Are computed such that:

X = T P.T + Err and Y = U Q.T + Err
T[:, k] = Xk W[:, k] for k in range(n_components)
U[:, k] = Yk C[:, k] for k in range(n_components)
x_rotations_ = W (P.T W)^(-1)
y_rotations_ = C (Q.T C)^(-1)


where Xk and Yk are residual matrices at iteration k.

Slides explaining PLS <http://www.eigenvector.com/Docs/Wise_pls_properties.pdf>

For each component k, find weights u, v that optimizes:

max corr(Xk u, Yk v) * std(Xk u) std(Yk u), such that |u| = 1

Note that it maximizes both the correlations between the scores and the intra-block variances.

The residual matrix of X (Xk+1) block is obtained by the deflation on the current X score: x_score.

The residual matrix of Y (Yk+1) block is obtained by deflation on the current X score. This performs the PLS regression known as PLS2. This mode is prediction oriented.

This implementation provides the same results that 3 PLS packages provided in the R language (R-project):

• “mixOmics” with function pls(X, Y, mode = “regression”)
• “plspm ” with function plsreg2(X, Y)
• “pls” with function oscorespls.fit(X, Y)

Examples

>>> from sklearn.cross_decomposition import PLSRegression
>>> X = [[0., 0., 1.], [1.,0.,0.], [2.,2.,2.], [2.,5.,4.]]
>>> Y = [[0.1, -0.2], [0.9, 1.1], [6.2, 5.9], [11.9, 12.3]]
>>> pls2 = PLSRegression(n_components=2)
>>> pls2.fit(X, Y)
...
PLSRegression(copy=True, max_iter=500, n_components=2, scale=True,
tol=1e-06)
>>> Y_pred = pls2.predict(X)

class mdp.nodes.FeatureHasherScikitsLearnNode

Implements feature hashing, aka the hashing trick.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.feature_extraction.hashing.FeatureHasher class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

This class turns sequences of symbolic feature names (strings) into scipy.sparse matrices, using a hash function to compute the matrix column corresponding to a name. The hash function employed is the signed 32-bit version of Murmurhash3.

Feature names of type byte string are used as-is. Unicode strings are converted to UTF-8 first, but no Unicode normalization is done. Feature values must be (finite) numbers.

This class is a low-memory alternative to DictVectorizer and CountVectorizer, intended for large-scale (online) learning and situations where memory is tight, e.g. when running prediction code on embedded devices.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

n_features : integer, optional
The number of features (columns) in the output matrices. Small numbers of features are likely to cause hash collisions, but large numbers will cause larger coefficient dimensions in linear learners.
dtype : numpy type, optional, default np.float64
The type of feature values. Passed to scipy.sparse matrix constructors as the dtype argument. Do not set this to bool, np.boolean or any unsigned integer type.
input_type : string, optional, default “dict”
Either “dict” (the default) to accept dictionaries over (feature_name, value); “pair” to accept pairs of (feature_name, value); or “string” to accept single strings. feature_name should be a string, while value should be a number. In the case of “string”, a value of 1 is implied. The feature_name is hashed to find the appropriate column for the feature. The value’s sign might be flipped in the output (but see non_negative, below).
non_negative : boolean, optional, default False
Whether output matrices should contain non-negative values only; effectively calls abs on the matrix prior to returning it. When True, output values can be interpreted as frequencies. When False, output values will have expected value zero.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.feature_extraction import FeatureHasher
>>> h = FeatureHasher(n_features=10)
>>> D = [{'dog': 1, 'cat':2, 'elephant':4},{'dog': 2, 'run': 5}]
>>> f = h.transform(D)
>>> f.toarray()
array([[ 0.,  0., -4., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  2.],
[ 0.,  0.,  0., -2., -5.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])


DictVectorizer : vectorizes string-valued features using a hash table. sklearn.preprocessing.OneHotEncoder : handles nominal/categorical features

encoded as columns of integers.

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.linear_model.base.LinearRegression class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Parameters

fit_intercept : boolean, optional
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
If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.
copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.
n_jobs : int, optional, default 1
The number of jobs to use for the computation. If -1 all CPUs are used. This will only provide speedup for n_targets > 1 and sufficient large problems.

Attributes

coef_ : array, shape (n_features, ) or (n_targets, n_features)
Estimated coefficients for the linear regression problem. If multiple targets are passed during the fit (y 2D), this is a 2D array of shape (n_targets, n_features), while if only one target is passed, this is a 1D array of length n_features.
intercept_ : array
Independent term in the linear model.

Notes

From the implementation point of view, this is just plain Ordinary Least Squares (scipy.linalg.lstsq) wrapped as a predictor object.

class mdp.nodes.LabelBinarizerScikitsLearnNode

Binarize labels in a one-vs-all fashion

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.preprocessing.label.LabelBinarizer class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Several regression and binary classification algorithms are available in the scikit. A simple way to extend these algorithms to the multi-class classification case is to use the so-called one-vs-all scheme.

At learning time, this simply consists in learning one regressor or binary classifier per class. In doing so, one needs to convert multi-class labels to binary labels (belong or does not belong to the class). LabelBinarizer makes this process easy with the transform method.

At prediction time, one assigns the class for which the corresponding model gave the greatest confidence. LabelBinarizer makes this easy with the inverse_transform method.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters

neg_label : int (default: 0)
Value with which negative labels must be encoded.
pos_label : int (default: 1)
Value with which positive labels must be encoded.
sparse_output : boolean (default: False)
True if the returned array from transform is desired to be in sparse CSR format.

Attributes

classes_ : array of shape [n_class]
Holds the label for each class.
y_type_ : str,
Represents the type of the target data as evaluated by utils.multiclass.type_of_target. Possible type are ‘continuous’, ‘continuous-multioutput’, ‘binary’, ‘multiclass’, ‘mutliclass-multioutput’, ‘multilabel-indicator’, and ‘unknown’.
multilabel_ : boolean
True if the transformer was fitted on a multilabel rather than a multiclass set of labels. The multilabel_ attribute is deprecated and will be removed in 0.18
sparse_input_ : boolean,
True if the input data to transform is given as a sparse matrix, False otherwise.
indicator_matrix_ : str
‘sparse’ when the input data to tansform is a multilable-indicator and is sparse, None otherwise. The indicator_matrix_ attribute is deprecated as of version 0.16 and will be removed in 0.18

Examples

>>> from sklearn import preprocessing
>>> lb = preprocessing.LabelBinarizer()
>>> lb.fit([1, 2, 6, 4, 2])
LabelBinarizer(neg_label=0, pos_label=1, sparse_output=False)

class mdp.nodes.OneVsRestClassifierScikitsLearnNode

One-vs-the-rest (OvR) multiclass/multilabel strategy

This node has been automatically generated by wrapping the sklearn.multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier class from the sklearn library. The wrapped instance can be accessed through the scikits_alg attribute.

Also known as one-vs-all, this strategy consists in fitting one classifier per class. For each classifier, the class is fitted against all the other classes. In addition to its computational efficiency (only n_classes classifiers are needed), one advantage of this approach is its interpretability. Since each class is represented by one and one classifier only, it is possible to gain knowledge about the class by inspecting its corresponding classifier. This is the most commonly used strategy for multiclass classification and is a fair default choice.

This strategy can also be used for multilabel learning, where a classifier is used to predict multiple labels for instance, by fitting on a 2-d matrix in which cell [i, j] is 1 if sample i has label j and 0 otherwise.

In the multilabel learning literature, OvR is also known as the binary relevance method.

Parameters

estimator : estimator object
An estimator object implementing fit and one of decision_function or predict_proba.
n_jobs : int, optional, default: 1
The number of jobs to use for the computation. If -1 all CPUs are used. If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, which is useful for debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used.

Attributes

estimators_ : list of n_classes estimators
Estimators used for predictions.
classes_ : array, shape = [n_classes]
Class labels.
label_binarizer_ : LabelBinarizer object
Object used to transform multiclass labels to binary labels and vice-versa.
multilabel_ : boolean
Whether a OneVsRestClassifier is a multilabel classifier.
