LinearRegression¶

class pyspark.ml.regression.LinearRegression(*, featuresCol='features', labelCol='label', predictionCol='prediction', maxIter=100, regParam=0.0, elasticNetParam=0.0, tol=1e-06, fitIntercept=True, standardization=True, solver='auto', weightCol=None, aggregationDepth=2, loss='squaredError', epsilon=1.35, maxBlockSizeInMB=0.0)[source]¶

Linear regression.

The learning objective is to minimize the specified loss function, with regularization. This supports two kinds of loss:

squaredError (a.k.a squared loss)
huber (a hybrid of squared error for relatively small errors and absolute error for relatively large ones, and we estimate the scale parameter from training data)

This supports multiple types of regularization:

none (a.k.a. ordinary least squares)
L2 (ridge regression)
L1 (Lasso)
L2 + L1 (elastic net)

New in version 1.4.0.

Notes

Fitting with huber loss only supports none and L2 regularization.

Methods Documentation

clear(param)¶: Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)¶

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.

Parameters

extradict, optional: Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns

JavaParams: Copy of this instance

explainParam(param)¶: Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()¶: Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)¶

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra param values

Returns

dict: merged param map

fit(dataset, params=None)¶

Fits a model to the input dataset with optional parameters.

New in version 1.3.0.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: input dataset.
paramsdict or list or tuple, optional: an optional param map that overrides embedded params. If a list/tuple of param maps is given, this calls fit on each param map and returns a list of models.

Returns

Transformer or a list of Transformer: fitted model(s)

fitMultiple(dataset, paramMaps)¶

Fits a model to the input dataset for each param map in paramMaps.

New in version 2.3.0.

Parameters
