sklearn.kernel_ridge.KernelRidge

class sklearn.kernel_ridge.KernelRidge(alpha=1, *, kernel='linear', gamma=None, degree=3, coef0=1, kernel_params=None) [source]

Kernel ridge regression.

Kernel ridge regression (KRR) combines ridge regression (linear least squares with l2-norm regularization) with the kernel trick. It thus learns a linear function in the space induced by the respective kernel and the data. For non-linear kernels, this corresponds to a non-linear function in the original space.

The form of the model learned by KRR is identical to support vector regression (SVR). However, different loss functions are used: KRR uses squared error loss while support vector regression uses epsilon-insensitive loss, both combined with l2 regularization. In contrast to SVR, fitting a KRR model can be done in closed-form and is typically faster for medium-sized datasets. On the other hand, the learned model is non-sparse and thus slower than SVR, which learns a sparse model for epsilon > 0, at prediction-time.

This estimator has built-in support for multi-variate regression (i.e., when y is a 2d-array of shape [n_samples, n_targets]).

Parameters

alphafloat or array-like of shape (n_targets,), default=1.0

Regularization strength; must be a positive float. Regularization improves the conditioning of the problem and reduces the variance of the estimates. Larger values specify stronger regularization. Alpha corresponds to 1 / (2C) in other linear models such as LogisticRegression or LinearSVC. If an array is passed, penalties are assumed to be specific to the targets. Hence they must correspond in number. See Ridge regression and classification for formula.

kernelstring or callable, default=”linear”

Kernel mapping used internally. This parameter is directly passed to pairwise_kernel. If kernel is a string, it must be one of the metrics in pairwise.PAIRWISE_KERNEL_FUNCTIONS. If kernel is “precomputed”, X is assumed to be a kernel matrix. Alternatively, if kernel is a callable function, it is called on each pair of instances (rows) and the resulting value recorded. The callable should take two rows from X as input and return the corresponding kernel value as a single number. This means that callables from sklearn.metrics.pairwise are not allowed, as they operate on matrices, not single samples. Use the string identifying the kernel instead.

gammafloat, default=None

Gamma parameter for the RBF, laplacian, polynomial, exponential chi2 and sigmoid kernels. Interpretation of the default value is left to the kernel; see the documentation for sklearn.metrics.pairwise. Ignored by other kernels.

degreefloat, default=3

Degree of the polynomial kernel. Ignored by other kernels.

coef0float, default=1

Zero coefficient for polynomial and sigmoid kernels. Ignored by other kernels.

kernel_paramsmapping of string to any, default=None

Additional parameters (keyword arguments) for kernel function passed as callable object.

Attributes

dual_coef_ndarray of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_targets)

Representation of weight vector(s) in kernel space

X_fit_{ndarray, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training data, which is also required for prediction. If kernel == “precomputed” this is instead the precomputed training matrix, of shape (n_samples, n_samples).

Methods

fit(X, y[, sample_weight])	Fit Kernel Ridge regression model
get_params([deep])	Get parameters for this estimator.
predict(X)	Predict using the kernel ridge model
score(X, y[, sample_weight])	Return the coefficient of determination \(R^2\) of the prediction.
set_params(**params)	Set the parameters of this estimator.

fit(X, y, sample_weight=None) [source]

Fit Kernel Ridge regression model

Parameters

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training data. If kernel == “precomputed” this is instead a precomputed kernel matrix, of shape (n_samples, n_samples).

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_targets)

Target values

sample_weightfloat or array-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None

Individual weights for each sample, ignored if None is passed.

Returns

selfreturns an instance of self.

get_params(deep=True) [source]

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters

deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns

paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

predict(X) [source]

Predict using the kernel ridge model

Parameters

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Samples. If kernel == “precomputed” this is instead a precomputed kernel matrix, shape = [n_samples, n_samples_fitted], where n_samples_fitted is the number of samples used in the fitting for this estimator.

Returns

Cndarray of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_targets)

Returns predicted values.

score(X, y, sample_weight=None) [source]

Return the coefficient of determination \(R^2\) of the prediction.

The coefficient \(R^2\) is defined as \((1 - \frac{u}{v})\), where \(u\) is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_pred) ** 2).sum() and \(v\) is the total sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). The best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a \(R^2\) score of 0.0.

Parameters

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples. For some estimators this may be a precomputed kernel matrix or a list of generic objects instead with shape (n_samples, n_samples_fitted), where n_samples_fitted is the number of samples used in the fitting for the estimator.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True values for X.

sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None

Sample weights.

Returns

scorefloat

\(R^2\) of self.predict(X) wrt. y.

Notes

The \(R^2\) score used when calling score on a regressor uses multioutput='uniform_average' from version 0.23 to keep consistent with default value of r2_score. This influences the score method of all the multioutput regressors (except for MultiOutputRegressor).

set_params(**params) [source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters

**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns

selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.
