decomposition.TruncatedSVD()

class sklearn.decomposition.TruncatedSVD(n_components=2, algorithm='randomized', n_iter=5, random_state=None, tol=0.0) [source]

Dimensionality reduction using truncated SVD (aka LSA).

This transformer performs linear dimensionality reduction by means of truncated singular value decomposition (SVD). Contrary to PCA, this estimator does not center the data before computing the singular value decomposition. This means it can work with scipy.sparse matrices efficiently.

In particular, truncated SVD works on term count/tf-idf matrices as returned by the vectorizers in sklearn.feature_extraction.text. In that context, it is known as latent semantic analysis (LSA).

This estimator supports two algorithms: a fast randomized SVD solver, and a ?naive? algorithm that uses ARPACK as an eigensolver on (X * X.T) or (X.T * X), whichever is more efficient.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

n_components : int, default = 2 Desired dimensionality of output data. Must be strictly less than the number of features. The default value is useful for visualisation. For LSA, a value of 100 is recommended. algorithm : string, default = ?randomized? SVD solver to use. Either ?arpack? for the ARPACK wrapper in SciPy (scipy.sparse.linalg.svds), or ?randomized? for the randomized algorithm due to Halko (2009). n_iter : int, optional (default 5) Number of iterations for randomized SVD solver. Not used by ARPACK. The default is larger than the default in randomized_svd to handle sparse matrices that may have large slowly decaying spectrum. random_state : int or RandomState, optional (Seed for) pseudo-random number generator. If not given, the numpy.random singleton is used. tol : float, optional Tolerance for ARPACK. 0 means machine precision. Ignored by randomized SVD solver.

Attributes:

components_ : array, shape (n_components, n_features) explained_variance_ratio_ : array, [n_components] Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components. explained_variance_ : array, [n_components] The variance of the training samples transformed by a projection to each component.

Notes

SVD suffers from a problem called ?sign indeterminancy?, which means the sign of the components_ and the output from transform depend on the algorithm and random state. To work around this, fit instances of this class to data once, then keep the instance around to do transformations.

fit(X, y=None) [source]

Fit LSI model on training data X.

Parameters:	X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features) Training data.
Returns:	self : object Returns the transformer object.

fit_transform(X, y=None) [source]

Fit LSI model to X and perform dimensionality reduction on X.

Parameters:	X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features) Training data.
Returns:	X_new : array, shape (n_samples, n_components) Reduced version of X. This will always be a dense array.

get_params(deep=True) [source]

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.

inverse_transform(X) [source]

Transform X back to its original space.

Returns an array X_original whose transform would be X.

Parameters:	X : array-like, shape (n_samples, n_components) New data.
Returns:	X_original : array, shape (n_samples, n_features) Note that this is always a dense array.

set_params(**params) [source]

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 :

transform(X) [source]

Parameters:	X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features) New data.
Returns:	X_new : array, shape (n_samples, n_components) Reduced version of X. This will always be a dense array.
