sklearn.decomposition.PCA

class sklearn.decomposition.PCA(n_components=None, *, copy=True, whiten=False, svd_solver='auto', tol=0.0, iterated_power='auto', random_state=None) [source]

Principal component analysis (PCA).

Linear dimensionality reduction using Singular Value Decomposition of the data to project it to a lower dimensional space. The input data is centered but not scaled for each feature before applying the SVD.

It uses the LAPACK implementation of the full SVD or a randomized truncated SVD by the method of Halko et al. 2009, depending on the shape of the input data and the number of components to extract.

It can also use the scipy.sparse.linalg ARPACK implementation of the truncated SVD.

Notice that this class does not support sparse input. See TruncatedSVD for an alternative with sparse data.

Parameters

n_componentsint, float or ‘mle’, default=None

Number of components to keep. if n_components is not set all components are kept:

n_components == min(n_samples, n_features)

If n_components == 'mle' and svd_solver == 'full', Minka’s MLE is used to guess the dimension. Use of n_components == 'mle' will interpret svd_solver == 'auto' as svd_solver == 'full'.

If 0 < n_components < 1 and svd_solver == 'full', select the number of components such that the amount of variance that needs to be explained is greater than the percentage specified by n_components.

If svd_solver == 'arpack', the number of components must be strictly less than the minimum of n_features and n_samples.

Hence, the None case results in:

n_components == min(n_samples, n_features) - 1

copybool, default=True

If False, data passed to fit are overwritten and running fit(X).transform(X) will not yield the expected results, use fit_transform(X) instead.

whitenbool, default=False

When True (False by default) the components_ vectors are multiplied by the square root of n_samples and then divided by the singular values to ensure uncorrelated outputs with unit component-wise variances.

Whitening will remove some information from the transformed signal (the relative variance scales of the components) but can sometime improve the predictive accuracy of the downstream estimators by making their data respect some hard-wired assumptions.

svd_solver{‘auto’, ‘full’, ‘arpack’, ‘randomized’}, default=’auto’

If auto :

The solver is selected by a default policy based on X.shape and n_components: if the input data is larger than 500x500 and the number of components to extract is lower than 80% of the smallest dimension of the data, then the more efficient ‘randomized’ method is enabled. Otherwise the exact full SVD is computed and optionally truncated afterwards.

If full :

run exact full SVD calling the standard LAPACK solver via scipy.linalg.svd and select the components by postprocessing

If arpack :

run SVD truncated to n_components calling ARPACK solver via scipy.sparse.linalg.svds. It requires strictly 0 < n_components < min(X.shape)

If randomized :

run randomized SVD by the method of Halko et al.

New in version 0.18.0.

tolfloat, default=0.0

Tolerance for singular values computed by svd_solver == ‘arpack’. Must be of range [0.0, infinity).

New in version 0.18.0.

iterated_powerint or ‘auto’, default=’auto’

Number of iterations for the power method computed by svd_solver == ‘randomized’. Must be of range [0, infinity).

New in version 0.18.0.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Used when the ‘arpack’ or ‘randomized’ solvers are used. Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

New in version 0.18.0.

Attributes

components_ndarray of shape (n_components, n_features)

Principal axes in feature space, representing the directions of maximum variance in the data. The components are sorted by explained_variance_.

explained_variance_ndarray of shape (n_components,)

The amount of variance explained by each of the selected components.

Equal to n_components largest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of X.

New in version 0.18.

explained_variance_ratio_ndarray of shape (n_components,)

Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components.

If n_components is not set then all components are stored and the sum of the ratios is equal to 1.0.

singular_values_ndarray of shape (n_components,)

The singular values corresponding to each of the selected components. The singular values are equal to the 2-norms of the n_components variables in the lower-dimensional space.

New in version 0.19.

mean_ndarray of shape (n_features,)

Per-feature empirical mean, estimated from the training set.

Equal to X.mean(axis=0).

n_components_int

The estimated number of components. When n_components is set to ‘mle’ or a number between 0 and 1 (with svd_solver == ‘full’) this number is estimated from input data. Otherwise it equals the parameter n_components, or the lesser value of n_features and n_samples if n_components is None.

n_features_int

Number of features in the training data.

n_samples_int

Number of samples in the training data.

noise_variance_float

The estimated noise covariance following the Probabilistic PCA model from Tipping and Bishop 1999. See “Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning” by C. Bishop, 12.2.1 p. 574 or http://www.miketipping.com/papers/met-mppca.pdf. It is required to compute the estimated data covariance and score samples.

Equal to the average of (min(n_features, n_samples) - n_components) smallest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of X.
