class evalml.pipelines.components.estimators.regressors.linear_regressor.LinearRegressor(fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, n_jobs=- 1, random_seed=0, **kwargs)[source]#

Linear Regressor.

Parameters

fit_intercept (boolean) – Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set to False, no intercept will be used in calculations (i.e. data is expected to be centered). Defaults to True.
normalize (boolean) – If True, the regressors will be normalized before regression by subtracting the mean and dividing by the l2-norm. This parameter is ignored when fit_intercept is set to False. Defaults to False.
n_jobs (int or None) – Number of jobs to run in parallel. -1 uses all threads. Defaults to -1.
random_seed (int) – Seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0.

Attributes

hyperparameter_ranges	{ “fit_intercept”: [True, False], “normalize”: [True, False]}

modifies_features	True
modifies_target	False
name	Linear Regressor

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 for fitted linear regressor.
`fit`	Fits estimator to data.
`load`	Loads component at file path.
`needs_fitting`	Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances.
`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

Returns dictionary if return_dict is True, else None.

Return type

None or dict

property feature_importance(self)#: Feature importance for fitted linear regressor.

fit(self, X, y=None)#

Fits estimator to data.

Parameters

X (pd.DataFrame) – The input training data of shape [n_samples, n_features].
y (pd.Series, 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.

Returns: True.

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) – Data of shape [n_samples, n_features].
Returns: Predicted values.
Return type: pd.Series
Raises: MethodPropertyNotFoundError – If estimator does not have a predict method or a component_obj that implements predict.

predict_proba(self, X)#

Make probability estimates for labels.

Parameters: X (pd.DataFrame) – Features.
Returns: Probability estimates.
Return type: pd.Series
Raises: MethodPropertyNotFoundError – If estimator does not have a predict_proba method or a component_obj that implements predict_proba.

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.
