class sklearn.manifold.LocallyLinearEmbedding(n_neighbors=5, n_components=2, reg=0.001, eigen_solver='auto', tol=1e-06, max_iter=100, method='standard', hessian_tol=0.0001, modified_tol=1e-12, neighbors_algorithm='auto', random_state=None)

Locally Linear Embedding

Parameters :

n_neighbors : integer

number of neighbors to consider for each point.

n_components : integer

number of coordinates for the manifold

reg : float

regularization constant, multiplies the trace of the local covariance matrix of the distances.

eigen_solver : string, {‘auto’, ‘arpack’, ‘dense’}

auto : algorithm will attempt to choose the best method for input data

arpack : use arnoldi iteration in shift-invert mode.

For this method, M may be a dense matrix, sparse matrix, or general linear operator. Warning: ARPACK can be unstable for some problems. It is best to try several random seeds in order to check results.

dense : use standard dense matrix operations for the eigenvalue

decomposition. For this method, M must be an array or matrix type. This method should be avoided for large problems.

tol : float, optional

Tolerance for ‘arpack’ method Not used if eigen_solver==’dense’.

max_iter : integer

maximum number of iterations for the arpack solver. Not used if eigen_solver==’dense’.

method : string (‘standard’, ‘hessian’, ‘modified’ or ‘ltsa’)

standard : use the standard locally linear embedding algorithm. see

reference [1]

hessian : use the Hessian eigenmap method. This method requires

n_neighbors > n_components * (1 + (n_components + 1) / 2 see reference [2]

modified : use the modified locally linear embedding algorithm.

see reference [3]

ltsa : use local tangent space alignment algorithm

see reference [4]

hessian_tol : float, optional

Tolerance for Hessian eigenmapping method. Only used if method == 'hessian'

modified_tol : float, optional

Tolerance for modified LLE method. Only used if method == 'modified'

neighbors_algorithm : string [‘auto’|’brute’|’kd_tree’|’ball_tree’]

algorithm to use for nearest neighbors search, passed to neighbors.NearestNeighbors instance

random_state: numpy.RandomState or int, optional :

The generator or seed used to determine the starting vector for arpack iterations. Defaults to numpy.random.

Methods

fit(X[, y])	Compute the embedding vectors for data X
fit_transform(X[, y])	Compute the embedding vectors for data X and transform X.

__init__(n_neighbors=5, n_components=2, reg=0.001, eigen_solver='auto', tol=1e-06, max_iter=100, method='standard', hessian_tol=0.0001, modified_tol=1e-12, neighbors_algorithm='auto', random_state=None)

fit(X, y=None)

Compute the embedding vectors for data X

Parameters :

X : array-like of shape [n_samples, n_features]

training set.

Returns :

self : returns an instance of self.

fit_transform(X, y=None)

Compute the embedding vectors for data X and transform X.

Parameters :

X : array-like of shape [n_samples, n_features]

training set.

Returns :

X_new: array-like, shape (n_samples, n_components) :

get_params(deep=True)

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.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns :self :

transform(X)

Transform new points into embedding space.

Parameters :X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features] Returns :X_new : array, shape = [n_samples, n_components]

Notes

Because of scaling performed by this method, it is discouraged to use it together with methods that are not scale-invariant (like SVMs)
