sklearn.linear_model.TheilSenRegressor

class sklearn.linear_model.TheilSenRegressor(fit_intercept=True, copy_X=True, max_subpopulation=10000.0, n_subsamples=None, max_iter=300, tol=0.001, random_state=None, n_jobs=1, verbose=False)[source]

Theil-Sen Estimator: robust multivariate regression model.

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.

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.

decision_function(X)[source]

Decision function of the linear model.

Parameters:

X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = (n_samples, n_features)

Samples.

Returns:

C : array, shape = (n_samples,)

Returns predicted values.

fit(X, y)[source]

Fit linear model.

Parameters:

X : numpy array of shape [n_samples, n_features]

Training data

y : numpy array of shape [n_samples]

Target values

Returns:

self : returns an instance of self.

get_params(deep=True)[source]

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:

deep: boolean, optional :

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

Returns:

params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

predict(X)[source]

Predict using the linear model

Parameters:

X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = (n_samples, n_features)

Samples.

Returns:

C : array, shape = (n_samples,)

Returns predicted values.

score(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]

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

The coefficient R^2 is defined as (1 - u/v), where u is the regression sum of squares ((y_true - y_pred) ** 2).sum() and v is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). Best possible score is 1.0, lower values are worse.

Parameters:

X : array-like, shape = (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples.

y : array-like, shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True values for X.

sample_weight : array-like, shape = [n_samples], optional

Sample weights.

Returns:

score : float

R^2 of self.predict(X) wrt. y.

set_params(**params)[source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns:self :
