Perceptron#

class sklearn.linear_model.Perceptron(*, penalty=None, alpha=0.0001, l1_ratio=0.15, fit_intercept=True, max_iter=1000, tol=0.001, shuffle=True, verbose=0, eta0=1.0, n_jobs=None, random_state=0, early_stopping=False, validation_fraction=0.1, n_iter_no_change=5, class_weight=None, warm_start=False)[source]#

Linear perceptron classifier.

The implementation is a wrapper around SgDClassifier by fixing the loss and learning_rate parameters as:

SgDClassifier(loss="perceptron", learning_rate="constant")

Other available parameters are described below and are forwarded to SgDClassifier.

Read more in the User guide.

Parameters:
penalty{‘l2’,’l1’,’elasticnet’}, default=None

The penalty (aka regularization term) to be used.

alphafloat, default=0.0001

Constant that multiplies the regularization term if regularization is used.

l1_ratiofloat, default=0.15

The Elastic Net mixing parameter, with 0 <= l1_ratio <= 1. l1_ratio=0 corresponds to L2 penalty, l1_ratio=1 to L1. Only used if penalty='elasticnet'.

Added in version 0.24.

fit_interceptbool, default=True

Whether the intercept should be estimated or not. If False, the data is assumed to be already centered.

max_iterint, default=1000

The maximum number of passes over the training data (aka epochs). It only impacts the behavior in the fit method, and not the partial_fit method.

Added in version 0.19.

tolfloat or None, default=1e-3

The stopping criterion. If it is not None, the iterations will stop when (loss &gt; previous_loss - tol).

Added in version 0.19.

shufflebool, default=True

Whether or not the training data should be shuffled after each epoch.

verboseint, default=0

The verbosity level.

eta0float, default=1

Constant by which the updates are multiplied.

n_jobsint, default=None

The number of CPUs to use to do the OVA (One Versus All, for multi-class problems) computation. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See glossary for more details.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=0

Used to shuffle the training data, when shuffle is set to True. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See glossary.

early_stoppingbool, default=False

Whether to use early stopping to terminate training when validation score is not improving. If set to True, it will automatically set aside a stratified fraction of training data as validation and terminate training when validation score is not improving by at least tol for n_iter_no_change consecutive epochs.

Added in version 0.20.

validation_fractionfloat, default=0.1

The proportion of training data to set aside as validation set for early stopping. Must be between 0 and 1. Only used if early_stopping is True.

Added in version 0.20.

n_iter_no_changeint, default=5

Number of iterations with no improvement to wait before early stopping.

Added in version 0.20.

class_weightdict, {class_label: weight} or “balanced”, default=None

Preset for the class_weight fit parameter.

Weights associated with classes. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one.

The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y)).

warm_startbool, default=False

When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution. See the glossary.

Attributes:
classes_ndarray of shape (n_classes,)

The unique classes labels.

coef_ndarray of shape (1, n_features) if n_classes == 2 else (n_classes, n_features)

Weights assigned to the features.

intercept_ndarray of shape (1,) if n_classes == 2 else (n_classes,)

Constants in decision function.

loss_function_concrete LossFunction

The function that determines the loss, or difference between the output of the algorithm and the target values.

n_features_in_int

Number of features seen during fit.

Added in version 0.24.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.

Added in version 1.0.

n_iter_int

The actual number of iterations to reach the stopping criterion. For multiclass fits, it is the maximum over every binary fit.

t_int

Number of weight updates performed during training. Same as (n_iter_ * n_samples + 1).

Notes

Perceptron is a classification algorithm which shares the same underlying implementation with SgDClassifier. In fact, Perceptron() is equivalent to SgDClassifier(loss="perceptron", eta0=1, learning_rate="constant", penalty=None).

decision_function(X)[source]#

Predict confidence scores for samples.

The confidence score for a sample is proportional to the signed distance of that sample to the hyperplane.

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

The data matrix for which we want to get the confidence scores.

Returns:
scoresndarray of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_classes)

Confidence scores per (n_samples, n_classes) combination. In the binary case, confidence score for self.classes_[1] where &gt;0 means this class would be predicted.

densify()[source]#

Convert coefficient matrix to dense array format.

Converts the coef_ member (back) to a numpy.ndarray. This is the default format of coef_ and is required for fitting, so calling this method is only required on models that have previously been sparsified; otherwise, it is a no-op.

Returns:
self

Fitted estimator.

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

Fit linear model with Stochastic gradient Descent.

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

Training data.

yndarray of shape (n_samples,)

Target values.

coef_initndarray of shape (n_classes, n_features), default=None

The initial coefficients to warm-start the optimization.

intercept_initndarray of shape (n_classes,), default=None

The initial intercept to warm-start the optimization.

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

Weights applied to individual samples. If not provided, uniform weights are assumed. These weights will be multiplied with class_weight (passed through the constructor) if class_weight is specified.

Returns:
selfobject

Returns an instance of self.

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.

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

Perform one epoch of stochastic gradient descent on given samples.

Internally, this method uses max_iter = 1. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that a minimum of the cost function is reached after calling it once. Matters such as objective convergence, early stopping, and learning rate adjustments should be handled by the user.

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

Subset of the training data.

yndarray of shape (n_samples,)

Subset of the target values.

classesndarray of shape (n_classes,), default=None

Classes across all calls to partial_fit. Can be obtained by via np.unique(y_all), where y_all is the target vector of the entire dataset. This argument is required for the first call to partial_fit and can be omitted in the subsequent calls. Note that y doesn’t need to contain all labels in classes.

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

Weights applied to individual samples. If not provided, uniform weights are assumed.

Returns:
selfobject

Returns an instance of self.

predict(X)[source]#

Predict class labels for samples in X.

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

The data matrix for which we want to get the predictions.

Returns:
y_predndarray of shape (n_samples,)

Vector containing the class labels for each sample.

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

Return 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:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples.

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

True labels for X.

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

Sample weights.

Returns:
scorefloat

Mean accuracy of self.predict(X) w.r.t. y.

set_fit_request(*, coef_init: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANgED$', intercept_init: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANgED$', sample_weight: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANgED$') → Perceptron[source]#

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

  • True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit 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 fit.

  • 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.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:
coef_initstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANgED

Metadata routing for coef_init parameter in fit.

intercept_initstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANgED

Metadata routing for intercept_init parameter in fit.

sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANgED

Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in fit.

Returns:
selfobject

The updated object.

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&gt;__<parameter&gt; so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters:
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_partial_fit_request(*, classes: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANgED$', sample_weight: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANgED$') → Perceptron[source]#

Request metadata passed to the partial_fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

  • True: metadata is requested, and passed to partial_fit 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 partial_fit.

  • 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.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:
classesstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANgED

Metadata routing for classes parameter in partial_fit.

sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANgED

Returns:
selfobject

The updated object.

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

Request metadata passed to the score method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see 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.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

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.

sparsify()[source]#

Convert coefficient matrix to sparse format.

Converts the coef_ member to a scipy.sparse matrix, which for L1-regularized models can be much more memory- and storage-efficient than the usual numpy.ndarray representation.

The intercept_ member is not converted.

Returns:
self

Fitted estimator.

Notes

For non-sparse models, i.e. when there are not many zeros in coef_, this may actually increase memory usage, so use this method with care. A rule of thumb is that the number of zero elements, which can be computed with (coef_ == 0).sum(), must be more than 50% for this to provide significant benefits.

After calling this method, further fitting with the partial_fit method (if any) will not work until you call densify.
