class evalml.pipelines.components.estimators.regressors.svm_regressor.SVMRegressor(C=1.0, kernel='rbf', gamma='scale', random_seed=0, **kwargs)[source]

Support Vector Machine Regressor.

Parameters
  • C (float) – The regularization parameter. The strength of the regularization is inversely proportional to C. Must be strictly positive. The penalty is a squared l2 penalty. Defaults to 1.0.

  • kernel ({"linear", "poly", "rbf", "sigmoid", "precomputed"}) – Specifies the kernel type to be used in the algorithm. Defaults to “rbf”.

  • gamma ({"scale", "auto"} or float) – Kernel coefficient for “rbf”, “poly” and “sigmoid”. Defaults to “scale”. - If gamma=’scale’ (default) is passed then it uses 1 / (n_features * X.var()) as value of gamma - if “auto”, uses 1 / n_features

  • random_seed (int) – Seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0.

Methods

clone

Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.

default_parameters

Returns the default parameters for this component.

describe

Describe a component and its parameters

feature_importance

Feature importance only works with linear kernels.

fit

Fits component to data

load

Loads component at file path

needs_fitting

Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before

parameters

Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component

predict

Make predictions using selected features.

predict_proba

Make probability estimates for labels.

save

Saves component at file path

clone(self)

Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.

Returns

A new instance of this component with identical parameters and random state.

default_parameters(cls)

Returns the default parameters for this component.

Our convention is that Component.default_parameters == Component().parameters.

Returns

default parameters for this component.

Return type

dict

describe(self, print_name=False, return_dict=False)

Describe a component and its parameters

Parameters
  • print_name (bool, optional) – whether to print name of component

  • return_dict (bool, optional) – whether to return description as dictionary in the format {“name”: name, “parameters”: parameters}

Returns

prints and returns dictionary

Return type

None or dict

property feature_importance(self)

Feature importance only works with linear kernels. If the kernel isn’t linear, we return a numpy array of zeros

fit(self, X, y=None)

Fits component to data

Parameters
  • X (list, pd.DataFrame or np.ndarray) – The input training data of shape [n_samples, n_features]

  • y (list, pd.Series, np.ndarray, optional) – The target training data of length [n_samples]

Returns

self

static load(file_path)

Loads component at file path

Parameters

file_path (str) – Location to load file

Returns

ComponentBase object

needs_fitting(self)

Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances. This can be overridden to False for components that do not need to be fit or whose fit methods do nothing.

property parameters(self)

Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component

predict(self, X)

Make predictions using selected features.

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame, np.ndarray) – Data of shape [n_samples, n_features]

Returns

Predicted values

Return type

pd.Series

predict_proba(self, X)

Make probability estimates for labels.

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame, or np.ndarray) – Features

Returns

Probability estimates

Return type

pd.Series

save(self, file_path, pickle_protocol=cloudpickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL)

Saves component at file path

Parameters
  • file_path (str) – Location to save file

  • pickle_protocol (int) – The pickle data stream format.

Returns

None
