Perceptron

Perceptron(eta=0.1, epochs=50, random_seed=None, print_progress=0)

Perceptron classifier.

Note that this implementation of the Perceptron expects binary class labels
in {0, 1}.

Parameters

  • eta : float (default: 0.1)

    Learning rate (between 0.0 and 1.0)

  • epochs : int (default: 50)

    Number of passes over the training dataset. Prior to each epoch, the dataset is shuffled to prevent cycles.

  • random_seed : int

    Random state for initializing random weights and shuffling.

  • print_progress : int (default: 0)

    Prints progress in fitting to stderr. 0: No output 1: Epochs elapsed and cost 2: 1 plus time elapsed 3: 2 plus estimated time until completion

Attributes

  • w_ : 2d-array, shape={n_features, 1}

    Model weights after fitting.

  • b_ : 1d-array, shape={1,}

    Bias unit after fitting.

  • cost_ : list

    Number of misclassifications in every epoch.

Methods

fit(X, y, init_params=True)

Learn model from training data.

Parameters

  • X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

    Training vectors, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.

  • y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

    Target values.

  • init_params : bool (default: True)

    Re-initializes model parameters prior to fitting. Set False to continue training with weights from a previous model fitting.

Returns

  • self : object

get_params(deep=True)

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)

Predict targets from X.

Parameters

  • X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

    Training vectors, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.

Returns

  • target_values : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

    Predicted target values.

score(X, y)

Compute the prediction accuracy

Parameters

  • X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

    Training vectors, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.

  • y : array-like, shape = [n_samples]

    Target values (true class labels).

Returns

  • acc : float

    The prediction accuracy as a float between 0.0 and 1.0 (perfect score).

set_params(params)

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
