Quadratic Discriminant Analysis

A classifier with a quadratic decision boundary, generated by fitting class conditional densities to the data and using Bayes’ rule.

The model fits a Gaussian density to each class.

New in version 0.17: QuadraticDiscriminantAnalysis

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

priors : array, optional, shape = [n_classes] Priors on classes reg_param : float, optional Regularizes the covariance estimate as (1-reg_param)*Sigma + reg_param*np.eye(n_features) store_covariance : boolean If True the covariance matrices are computed and stored in the self.covariance_ attribute. New in version 0.17. tol : float, optional, default 1.0e-4 Threshold used for rank estimation. New in version 0.17.

Attributes:

covariance_ : list of array-like, shape = [n_features, n_features] Covariance matrices of each class. means_ : array-like, shape = [n_classes, n_features] Class means. priors_ : array-like, shape = [n_classes] Class priors (sum to 1). rotations_ : list of arrays For each class k an array of shape [n_features, n_k], with n_k = min(n_features, number of elements in class k) It is the rotation of the Gaussian distribution, i.e. its principal axis. scalings_ : list of arrays For each class k an array of shape [n_k]. It contains the scaling of the Gaussian distributions along its principal axes, i.e. the variance in the rotated coordinate system.

covariances_

DEPRECATED: Attribute covariances_ was deprecated in version 0.19 and will be removed in 0.21. Use covariance_ instead

decision_function(X) [source]

Apply decision function to an array of samples.

Parameters:	X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features] Array of samples (test vectors).
Returns:	C : array, shape = [n_samples, n_classes] or [n_samples,] Decision function values related to each class, per sample. In the two-class case, the shape is [n_samples,], giving the log likelihood ratio of the positive class.

fit(X, y) [source]

Fit the model according to the given training data and parameters.

Changed in version 0.19: store_covariances has been moved to main constructor as store_covariance

Changed in version 0.19: tol has been moved to main constructor.

Parameters:	X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features] Training vector, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features. y : array, shape = [n_samples] Target values (integers)

get_params(deep=True) [source]

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) [source]

Perform classification on an array of test vectors X.

The predicted class C for each sample in X is returned.

Parameters:	X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]
Returns:	C : array, shape = [n_samples]

predict_log_proba(X) [source]

Return posterior probabilities of classification.

Parameters:	X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features] Array of samples/test vectors.
Returns:	C : array, shape = [n_samples, n_classes] Posterior log-probabilities of classification per class.

predict_proba(X) [source]

Return posterior probabilities of classification.

Parameters:	X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features] Array of samples/test vectors.
Returns:	C : array, shape = [n_samples, n_classes] Posterior probabilities of classification per class.

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

Returns the mean accuracy on the given test data and labels.

In multi-label classification, this is the subset accuracy which is a harsh metric since you require for each sample that each label set be correctly predicted.

Parameters:	X : array-like, shape = (n_samples, n_features) Test samples. y : array-like, shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs) True labels for X. sample_weight : array-like, shape = [n_samples], optional Sample weights.
Returns:	score : float Mean accuracy of self.predict(X) wrt. y.

set_params(**params) [source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

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

Returns:	self :
