linreg module¶

Linear regression model.

The linear regression model expresses the output variables as a weighted sum of the input ones:

\[y = w_0 + w_1x_1 + w_2x_2 + ... + w_dx_d + \alpha \left( \lambda \|w\|_2 + (1-\lambda) \|w\|_1 \right),\]

where the coefficients \((w_1, w_2, ..., w_d)\) and the intercept \(w_0\) are estimated by least square regression. They are easily accessible via the arguments coefficients and intercept.

The penalty level \(\alpha\) is a non-negative parameter intended to prevent overfitting, while the penalty ratio \(\lambda\in [0, 1]\) expresses the ratio between \(\ell_2\)- and \(\ell_1\)-regularization. When \(\lambda=1\), there is no \(\ell_1\)-regularization, and a Ridge regression is performed. When \(\lambda=0\), there is no \(\ell_2\)-regularization, and a Lasso regression is performed. For \(\lambda\) between 0 and 1, an Elastic Net regression is performed.

One may also choose not to penalize the regression at all, by setting \(\alpha=0\). In this case, a simple least squares regression is performed.

Dependence¶

The linear model relies on the LinearRegression, Ridge, Lasso and ElasticNet classes of the scikit-learn library.

class gemseo.mlearning.regression.linreg.LinearRegressor(data, transformer=mappingproxy({}), input_names=None, output_names=None, fit_intercept=True, penalty_level=0.0, l2_penalty_ratio=1.0, **parameters)[source]

Bases: MLRegressionAlgo

Linear regression model.

Parameters:

data (IODataset) – The learning dataset.
transformer (TransformerType) –
The strategies to transform the variables. The values are instances of Transformer while the keys are the names of either the variables or the groups of variables, e.g. "inputs" or "outputs" in the case of the regression algorithms. If a group is specified, the Transformer will be applied to all the variables of this group. If IDENTITY, do not transform the variables.

By default it is set to {}.
input_names (Iterable[str] | None) – The names of the input variables. If None, consider all the input variables of the learning dataset.
output_names (Iterable[str] | None) – The names of the output variables. If None, consider all the output variables of the learning dataset.
fit_intercept (bool) –
Whether to fit the intercept.

By default it is set to True.
penalty_level (float) –
The penalty level greater or equal to 0. If 0, there is no penalty.

By default it is set to 0.0.
l2_penalty_ratio (float) –
The penalty ratio related to the l2 regularization. If 1, use the Ridge penalty. If 0, use the Lasso penalty. Between 0 and 1, use the ElasticNet penalty.

By default it is set to 1.0.
**parameters (float | int | str | bool | None) – The parameters of the machine learning algorithm.

Raises:

ValueError – When both the variable and the group it belongs to have a transformer.

get_coefficients(as_dict=True)[source]

Return the regression coefficients of the linear model.

Parameters:

as_dict (bool) –

If True, return the coefficients as a dictionary. Otherwise, return the coefficients as a numpy.array

By default it is set to True.

Returns:

The regression coefficients of the linear model.

Raises:

ValueError – If the coefficients are required as a dictionary even though the transformers change the variables dimensions.

Return type:

ndarray | Mapping[str, ndarray]

get_intercept(as_dict=True)[source]

Return the regression intercepts of the linear model.

Parameters:

as_dict (bool) –

If True, return the intercepts as a dictionary. Otherwise, return the intercepts as a numpy.array

By default it is set to True.

Returns:

The regression intercepts of the linear model.

Raises:

ValueError – If the coefficients are required as a dictionary even though the transformers change the variables dimensions.

Return type:

ndarray | Mapping[str, ndarray]

LIBRARY: Final[str] = 'scikit-learn': The name of the library of the wrapped machine learning algorithm.

SHORT_ALGO_NAME: ClassVar[str] = 'LinReg'
