6.2.2. scikits.learn.linear_model.Ridge

class scikits.learn.linear_model.Ridge(alpha=1.0, fit_intercept=True)

Ridge regression.

Parameters :

alpha : float

Small positive values of alpha improve the coditioning of the problem and reduce the variance of the estimates.

fit_intercept : boolean

wether 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).

Examples

>>> from scikits.learn.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, fit_intercept=True)

Methods

fit(X, y, **params)	Fit Ridge regression model
predict(X)	Predict using the linear model
score(X, y)	Returns the coefficient of determination of the prediction
