sklearn.covariance.EllipticEnvelope

class sklearn.covariance.EllipticEnvelope(store_precision=True, assume_centered=False, support_fraction=None, contamination=0.1, random_state=None) [source]

An object for detecting outliers in a Gaussian distributed dataset.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:
store_precision : boolean, optional (default=True)

Specify if the estimated precision is stored.

assume_centered : boolean, optional (default=False)

If True, the support of robust location and covariance estimates is computed, and a covariance estimate is recomputed from it, without centering the data. Useful to work with data whose mean is significantly equal to zero but is not exactly zero. If False, the robust location and covariance are directly computed with the FastMCD algorithm without additional treatment.

support_fraction : float in (0., 1.), optional (default=None)

The proportion of points to be included in the support of the raw MCD estimate. If None, the minimum value of support_fraction will be used within the algorithm: [n_sample + n_features + 1] / 2.

contamination : float in (0., 0.5), optional (default=0.1)

The amount of contamination of the data set, i.e. the proportion of outliers in the data set.

random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)

The seed of the pseudo random number generator to use when shuffling the data. If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.

Attributes:
location_ : array-like, shape (n_features,)

Estimated robust location

covariance_ : array-like, shape (n_features, n_features)

Estimated robust covariance matrix

precision_ : array-like, shape (n_features, n_features)

Estimated pseudo inverse matrix. (stored only if store_precision is True)

support_ : array-like, shape (n_samples,)

A mask of the observations that have been used to compute the robust estimates of location and shape.

offset_ : float

Offset used to define the decision function from the raw scores. We have the relation: decision_function = score_samples - offset_. The offset depends on the contamination parameter and is defined in such a way we obtain the expected number of outliers (samples with decision function < 0) in training.

Notes

Outlier detection from covariance estimation may break or not perform well in high-dimensional settings. In particular, one will always take care to work with n_samples > n_features ** 2.

decision_function(X, raw_values=None) [source]

Compute the decision function of the given observations.

Parameters:
X : array-like, shape (n_samples, n_features)
raw_values : bool, optional

Whether or not to consider raw Mahalanobis distances as the decision function. Must be False (default) for compatibility with the others outlier detection tools.

Deprecated since version 0.20: raw_values has been deprecated in 0.20 and will be removed in 0.22.

Returns:
decision : array-like, shape (n_samples, )

Decision function of the samples. It is equal to the shifted Mahalanobis distances. The threshold for being an outlier is 0, which ensures a compatibility with other outlier detection algorithms.

error_norm(comp_cov, norm=’frobenius’, scaling=True, squared=True) [source]

Computes the Mean Squared Error between two covariance estimators. (In the sense of the Frobenius norm).

Parameters:
comp_cov : array-like, shape = [n_features, n_features]

The covariance to compare with.

norm : str

The type of norm used to compute the error. Available error types: - ‘frobenius’ (default): sqrt(tr(A^t.A)) - ‘spectral’: sqrt(max(eigenvalues(A^t.A)) where A is the error (comp_cov - self.covariance_).

scaling : bool

If True (default), the squared error norm is divided by n_features. If False, the squared error norm is not rescaled.

squared : bool

Whether to compute the squared error norm or the error norm. If True (default), the squared error norm is returned. If False, the error norm is returned.

Returns:
The Mean Squared Error (in the sense of the Frobenius norm) between
`self` and `comp_cov` covariance estimators.

Test samples.

y : array-like, shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True labels for X.

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