Sparse inverse covariance w/ cross-validated choice of the l1 penalty.
See glossary entry for :term:`cross-validation estimator`.
Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <sparse_inverse_covariance>`.
Parameters ---------- alphas : integer, or list positive float, optional If an integer is given, it fixes the number of points on the grids of alpha to be used. If a list is given, it gives the grid to be used. See the notes in the class docstring for more details.
n_refinements : strictly positive integer The number of times the grid is refined. Not used if explicit values of alphas are passed.
cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:
- None, to use the default 5-fold cross-validation,
- integer, to specify the number of folds.
- :term:`CV splitter`,
- An iterable yielding (train, test) splits as arrays of indices.
For integer/None inputs :class:`KFold` is used.
Refer :ref:`User Guide <cross_validation>` for the various cross-validation strategies that can be used here.
.. versionchanged:: 0.20 ``cv`` default value if None changed from 3-fold to 5-fold.
tol : positive float, optional The tolerance to declare convergence: if the dual gap goes below this value, iterations are stopped.
enet_tol : positive float, optional The tolerance for the elastic net solver used to calculate the descent direction. This parameter controls the accuracy of the search direction for a given column update, not of the overall parameter estimate. Only used for mode='cd'.
max_iter : integer, optional Maximum number of iterations.
mode : 'cd', 'lars'
The Lasso solver to use: coordinate descent or LARS. Use LARS for very sparse underlying graphs, where number of features is greater than number of samples. Elsewhere prefer cd which is more numerically stable.
n_jobs : int or None, optional (default=None) number of jobs to run in parallel. ``None`` means 1 unless in a :obj:`joblib.parallel_backend` context. ``-1`` means using all processors. See :term:`Glossary <n_jobs>` for more details.
verbose : boolean, optional If verbose is True, the objective function and duality gap are printed at each iteration.
assume_centered : boolean 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 ---------- location_ : array-like, shape (n_features,) Estimated location, i.e. the estimated mean.
covariance_ : numpy.ndarray, shape (n_features, n_features) Estimated covariance matrix.
precision_ : numpy.ndarray, shape (n_features, n_features) Estimated precision matrix (inverse covariance).
alpha_ : float Penalization parameter selected.
cv_alphas_ : list of float All penalization parameters explored.
grid_scores_ : 2D numpy.ndarray (n_alphas, n_folds) Log-likelihood score on left-out data across folds.
n_iter_ : int Number of iterations run for the optimal alpha.
Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> from sklearn.covariance import GraphicalLassoCV >>> true_cov = np.array([0.8, 0.0, 0.2, 0.0],
... [0.0, 0.4, 0.0, 0.0],
... [0.2, 0.0, 0.3, 0.1],
... [0.0, 0.0, 0.1, 0.7]
) >>> np.random.seed(0) >>> X = np.random.multivariate_normal(mean=0, 0, 0, 0
, ... cov=true_cov, ... size=200) >>> cov = GraphicalLassoCV().fit(X) >>> np.around(cov.covariance_, decimals=3) array([0.816, 0.051, 0.22 , 0.017],
[0.051, 0.364, 0.018, 0.036],
[0.22 , 0.018, 0.322, 0.094],
[0.017, 0.036, 0.094, 0.69 ]
) >>> np.around(cov.location_, decimals=3) array(0.073, 0.04 , 0.038, 0.143
)

Notes ----- The search for the optimal penalization parameter (alpha) is done on an iteratively refined grid: first the cross-validated scores on a grid are computed, then a new refined grid is centered around the maximum, and so on.
One of the challenges which is faced here is that the solvers can fail to converge to a well-conditioned estimate. The corresponding values of alpha then come out as missing values, but the optimum may be close to these missing values.
