class sklearn.linear_model.BayesianRidge(n_iter=300, tol=0.001, alpha_1=1e-06, alpha_2=1e-06, lambda_1=1e-06, lambda_2=1e-06, compute_score=False, fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, copy_X=True, verbose=False)

Bayesian ridge regression

Fit a Bayesian ridge model and optimize the regularization parameters lambda (precision of the weights) and alpha (precision of the noise).

Parameters:

n_iter : int, optional

Maximum number of iterations. Default is 300.

tol : float, optional

Stop the algorithm if w has converged. Default is 1.e-3.

alpha_1 : float, optional

Hyper-parameter : shape parameter for the Gamma distribution prior over the alpha parameter. Default is 1.e-6

alpha_2 : float, optional

Hyper-parameter : inverse scale parameter (rate parameter) for the Gamma distribution prior over the alpha parameter. Default is 1.e-6.

lambda_1 : float, optional

Hyper-parameter : shape parameter for the Gamma distribution prior over the lambda parameter. Default is 1.e-6.

lambda_2 : float, optional

Hyper-parameter : inverse scale parameter (rate parameter) for the Gamma distribution prior over the lambda parameter. Default is 1.e-6

compute_score : boolean, optional

If True, compute the objective function at each step of the model. Default is False

fit_intercept : boolean, optional

whether 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). Default is True.

normalize : boolean, optional, default False

If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression.

copy_X : boolean, optional, default True

If True, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.

verbose : boolean, optional, default False

Verbose mode when fitting the model.

Attributes:

coef_ : array, shape = (n_features)

Coefficients of the regression model (mean of distribution)

alpha_ : float

estimated precision of the noise.

lambda_ : array, shape = (n_features)

estimated precisions of the weights.

scores_ : float

if computed, value of the objective function (to be maximized)

fit(X, y)	Fit the model
get_params([deep])	Get parameters for this estimator.

__init__(n_iter=300, tol=0.001, alpha_1=1e-06, alpha_2=1e-06, lambda_1=1e-06, lambda_2=1e-06, compute_score=False, fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, copy_X=True, verbose=False)

decision_function(X)

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)

Fit the 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)

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)

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)

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)

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 :
