TheilSenRegressor#

class sklearn.linear_model.TheilSenRegressor(*, fit_intercept=True, copy_X='deprecated', max_subpopulation=10000.0, n_subsamples=None, max_iter=300, tol=0.001, random_state=None, n_jobs=None, verbose=False)[source]#

Theil-Sen Estimator: robust multivariate regression model.

The algorithm calculates least square solutions on subsets with size n_subsamples of the samples in X. Any value of n_subsamples between the number of features and samples leads to an estimator with a compromise between robustness and efficiency. Since the number of least square solutions is “n_samples choose n_subsamples”, it can be extremely large and can therefore be limited with max_subpopulation. If this limit is reached, the subsets are chosen randomly. In a final step, the spatial median (or L1 median) is calculated of all least square solutions.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.linear_model import TheilSenRegressor
>>> from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
>>> X, y = make_regression(
...     n_samples=200, n_features=2, noise=4.0, random_state=0)
>>> reg = TheilSenRegressor(random_state=0).fit(X, y)
>>> reg.score(X, y)
0.9884
>>> reg.predict(X[:1,])
array([-31.5871])

fit(X, y)[source]#

Fit linear model.

Parameters:

Xndarray of shape (n_samples, n_features): Training data.
yndarray of shape (n_samples,): Target values.

Returns:

selfreturns an instance of self.: Fitted TheilSenRegressor estimator.

get_metadata_routing()[source]#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:

routingMetadataRequest: A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

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 linear model.

Parameters:

Xarray-like or sparse matrix, shape (n_samples, n_features): Samples.

Returns:

Carray, shape (n_samples,): Returns predicted values.

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

Return coefficient of determination on test data.

The coefficient of determination, $R^2$, 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) w.r.t. 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.

set_score_request(*, sample_weight: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → TheilSenRegressor[source]#

Configure whether metadata should be requested to be passed to the score method.

Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please check the User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

True: metadata is requested, and passed to score if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.
False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to score.
None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.
str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Parameters:

sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED: Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in score.

Returns:

selfobject: The updated object.
