6.2.4. scikits.learn.linear_model.LassoCV

class scikits.learn.linear_model.LassoCV(eps=0.001, n_alphas=100, alphas=None, fit_intercept=True)

Lasso linear model with iterative fitting along a regularization path

The best model is selected by cross-validation.

Parameters :

eps : float, optional

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

n_alphas : int, optional

Number of alphas along the regularization path

alphas : numpy array, optional

List of alphas where to compute the models. If None alphas are set automatically

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.

Methods

fit(X, y[, cv])	Fit linear model with coordinate descent along decreasing alphas
path(X, y[, eps, n_alphas, alphas, ...])	Compute Lasso path with coordinate descent
predict(X)	Predict using the linear model
score(X, y)	Returns the coefficient of determination of the prediction

__init__(eps=0.001, n_alphas=100, alphas=None, fit_intercept=True)

fit(X, y, cv=None, **fit_params)

Fit linear model with coordinate descent along decreasing alphas using cross-validation

Parameters :

X : numpy array of shape [n_samples,n_features]

Training data. Pass directly as fortran contiguous data to avoid unnecessary memory duplication

If None, KFold will be used.

fit_params : kwargs

keyword arguments passed to the Lasso fit method

static path(X, y, eps=0.001, n_alphas=100, alphas=None, fit_intercept=True, verbose=False, **fit_params)
