scikits.learn.covariance.ShrunkCovariance¶

class scikits.learn.covariance.ShrunkCovariance(store_covariance=True, shrinkage=None)¶

Covariance estimator with shrinkage

Parameters :

store_covariance : bool

Specify if the estimated covariance is stored

shrinkage : float

Shrinkage (in [0, 1])

Notes

The regularized covariance is given by

(1 - shrinkage)*cov

shrinkage*mu*np.identity(n_features)

where mu = trace(cov) / n_features

Attributes

covariance_	2D ndarray, shape (n_features, n_features)	Estimated covariance matrix (stored only is store_covariance is True)
precision_	2D ndarray, shape (n_features, n_features)	Estimated precision matrix
