scikits.learn.svm.SVR

class scikits.learn.svm.SVR(kernel='rbf', degree=3, gamma=0.0, coef0=0.0, cache_size=100.0, eps=0.001, C=1.0, nu=0.5, p=0.1, shrinking=True, probability=False)

Support Vector Regression.

Parameters :

nu : float, optional

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]. By default 0.5 will be taken. Only available if impl=’nu_svc’

kernel : string, optional

Specifies the kernel type to be used in the algorithm. one of ‘linear’, ‘poly’, ‘rbf’, ‘sigmoid’, ‘precomputed’. If none is given ‘rbf’ will be used.

p : float

epsilon in the epsilon-SVR model.

degree : int, optional

degree of kernel function is significant only in poly, rbf, sigmoid

gamma : float, optional

kernel coefficient for rbf and poly, by default 1/n_features will be taken.

C : float, optional (default=1.0)

penalty parameter C of the error term.

probability: boolean, optional (False by default) :

enable probability estimates. This must be enabled prior to calling prob_predict.

eps: float, optional :

precision for stopping criteria

coef0 : float, optional

independent term in kernel function. It is only significant in poly/sigmoid.

fit(X, Y)

Fit the SVM model according to the given training data and parameters.

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Training vector, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.

Y : array, shape = [n_samples]

Target values. Array of floating-point numbers.

Returns :

self : object

Returns self.

predict(T)

This function does classification or regression on an array of test vectors T.

For a classification model, the predicted class for each sample in T is returned. For a regression model, the function value of T calculated is returned.

For an one-class model, +1 or -1 is returned.

Parameters :T : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features] Returns :C : array, shape = [nsample]

predict_margin(T)

Calculate the distance of the samples in T to the separating hyperplane.

Parameters :

T : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Returns :

T : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_classes]

Returns the decision function of the sample for each class in the model, where classes are ordered by arithmetical order.

predict_proba(T)

This function does classification or regression on a test vector T given a model with probability information.

Parameters :

T : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Returns :

T : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_classes]

Returns the probability of the sample for each class in the model, where classes are ordered by arithmetical order.

Notes

The probability model is created using cross validation, so the results can be slightly different than those obtained by predict. Also, it will meaningless results on very small datasets.

score(X, y)

Returns the explained variance of the prediction

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Training set.

y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

Returns :

z : float
