class archetypes.AA(n_archetypes=4, n_init=1, max_iter=300, tol=0.0001, algorithm_init='auto', verbose=False, random_state=None)#

Archetype Analysis estimator.

Parameters:
n_archetypesint, default=4

The number of archetypes to compute.

n_initint, default=5

Number of time the archetype analysis algorithm will be run with different coefficient initialization. The final results will be the best output of n_init consecutive runs in terms of RSS.

max_iterint, default=300

Maximum number of iterations of the archetype analysis algorithm for a single run.

tolfloat, default=1e-4

Relative tolerance of two consecutive iterations to declare convergence.

verbosebool, default=False

Verbosity mode.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Determines random number generation of coefficients. Use an int to make the randomness deterministic.

Methods

fit(X[, y])

Compute Archetype Analysis.

fit_transform(X[, y])

Compute the archetypes and transform X to archetype-distance space.

get_metadata_routing()

Get metadata routing of this object.

get_params([deep])

Get parameters for this estimator.

set_output(*[, transform])

Set output container.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

transform(X)

Transform X to an archetype-distance space.

fit(X, y=None, **fit_params)#

Compute Archetype Analysis.

Parameters:
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Training instances to compute the archetypes. It must be noted that the data will be converted to C ordering, which will cause a memory copy if the given data is not C-contiguous. If a sparse matrix is passed, a copy will be made if it’s not in CSR format.

yIgnored

Not used, present here for API consistency by convention.

Returns:
selfobject

Fitted estimator.

fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params)#

Compute the archetypes and transform X to archetype-distance space.

Equivalent to fit(X).transform(X), but more efficiently implemented.

Parameters:
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

New data to transform.

yIgnored

Not used, present here for API consistency by convention.

Returns:
X_newndarray of shape (n_samples, n_archetypes)

X transformed in the new space.

get_metadata_routing()#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:
routingMetadataRequest

A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

get_params(deep=True)#

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:
deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:
paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

set_output(*, transform=None)#

Set output container.

See Introducing the set_output API for an example on how to use the API.

Parameters:
transform{“default”, “pandas”}, default=None

Configure output of transform and fit_transform.

  • “default”: Default output format of a transformer

  • “pandas”: DataFrame output

  • None: Transform configuration is unchanged

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_params(**params)#

Set the parameters of this estimator.

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

Parameters:
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

transform(X)#

Transform X to an archetype-distance space.

In the new space, each dimension is the distance to the archetypes. Note that even if X is sparse, the array returned by transform will typically be dense.

Parameters:
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

New data to transform.

Returns:
X_newndarray of shape (n_samples, n_archetypes)

X transformed in the new space.
