covariance.ShrunkCovariance()

class sklearn.covariance.ShrunkCovariance(store_precision=True, assume_centered=False, shrinkage=0.1) [source]

Covariance estimator with shrinkage

Parameters:	store_precision : boolean, default True Specify if the estimated precision is stored shrinkage : float, 0 <= shrinkage <= 1, default 0.1 Coefficient in the convex combination used for the computation of the shrunk estimate. assume_centered : boolean, default False If True, data are not centered before computation. Useful when working with data whose mean is almost, but not exactly zero. If False, data are centered before computation.
Attributes:	covariance_ : array-like, shape (n_features, n_features) Estimated covariance matrix precision_ : array-like, shape (n_features, n_features) Estimated pseudo inverse matrix. (stored only if store_precision is True) `shrinkage` : float, 0 <= shrinkage <= 1 Coefficient in the convex combination used for the computation of the shrunk estimate.

Notes

The regularized covariance is given by

(1 - shrinkage)*cov

shrinkage*mu*np.identity(n_features)

where mu = trace(cov) / n_features

error_norm(comp_cov, norm='frobenius', scaling=True, squared=True) [source]

Computes the Mean Squared Error between two covariance estimators. (In the sense of the Frobenius norm).

Parameters:

Parameters:	comp_cov : array-like, shape = [n_features, n_features] The covariance to compare with. norm : str The type of norm used to compute the error. Available error types: - ?frobenius?

If False, the squared error norm is not rescaled. squared : bool Whether to compute the squared error norm or the error norm. If True (default), the squared error norm is returned. If False, the error norm is returned.
