LinearDiscriminantAnalysis

Linear Discriminant Analysis.

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

The model fits a Gaussian density to each class, assuming that all classes share the same covariance matrix.

The fitted model can also be used to reduce the dimensionality of the input by projecting it to the most discriminative directions, using the transform method.

Constructors

constructor()

Signature

new LinearDiscriminantAnalysis(opts?: object): LinearDiscriminantAnalysis;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
opts?object-
opts.covariance_estimator?anyIf not undefined, covariance\_estimator is used to estimate the covariance matrices instead of relying on the empirical covariance estimator (with potential shrinkage). The object should have a fit method and a covariance\_ attribute like the estimators in sklearn.covariance. if undefined the shrinkage parameter drives the estimate. This should be left to undefined if shrinkage is used. Note that covariance\_estimator works only with ‘lsqr’ and ‘eigen’ solvers.
opts.n_components?numberNumber of components (<= min(n_classes - 1, n_features)) for dimensionality reduction. If undefined, will be set to min(n_classes - 1, n_features). This parameter only affects the transform method.
opts.priors?ArrayLikeThe class prior probabilities. By default, the class proportions are inferred from the training data.
opts.shrinkage?number | "auto"None: no shrinkage (default).
opts.solver?"svd" | "lsqr" | "eigen"‘svd’: Singular value decomposition (default). Does not compute the covariance matrix, therefore this solver is recommended for data with a large number of features. Default Value 'svd'
opts.store_covariance?booleanIf true, explicitly compute the weighted within-class covariance matrix when solver is ‘svd’. The matrix is always computed and stored for the other solvers. Default Value false
opts.tol?numberAbsolute threshold for a singular value of X to be considered significant, used to estimate the rank of X. Dimensions whose singular values are non-significant are discarded. Only used if solver is ‘svd’. Default Value 0.0001

Methods

decision_function()

Apply decision function to an array of samples.

The decision function is equal (up to a constant factor) to the log-posterior of the model, i.e. log p(y \= k | x). In a binary classification setting this instead corresponds to the difference log p(y \= 1 | x) \- log p(y \= 0 | x). See Mathematical formulation of the LDA and QDA classifiers.
