Passive Aggressive Classifier.
Read more in the User Guide.
Maximum step size (regularization). Defaults to 1.0.
Whether the intercept should be estimated or not. If False, the data is assumed to be already centered.
The maximum number of passes over the training data (aka epochs). It only impacts the behavior in the fit method, and not the partial_fit method.
Added in version 0.19.
The stopping criterion. If it is not None, the iterations will stop when (loss > previous_loss - tol).
Added in version 0.19.
Whether to use early stopping to terminate training when validation score is not improving. If set to True, it will automatically set aside a stratified fraction of training data as validation and terminate training when validation score is not improving by at least tol for n_iter_no_change consecutive epochs.
Added in version 0.20.
The proportion of training data to set aside as validation set for early stopping. Must be between 0 and 1. Only used if early_stopping is True.
Added in version 0.20.
Number of iterations with no improvement to wait before early stopping.
Added in version 0.20.
Whether or not the training data should be shuffled after each epoch.
The verbosity level.
The loss function to be used: hinge: equivalent to PA-I in the reference paper. squared_hinge: equivalent to PA-II in the reference paper.
The number of CPUs to use to do the OVA (One Versus All, for multi-class problems) computation. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.
Used to shuffle the training data, when shuffle is set to True. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.
When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution. See the Glossary.
Repeatedly calling fit or partial_fit when warm_start is True can result in a different solution than when calling fit a single time because of the way the data is shuffled.
Preset for the class_weight fit parameter.
Weights associated with classes. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one.
The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y)).
Added in version 0.17: parameter class_weight to automatically weight samples.
When set to True, computes the averaged SGD weights and stores the result in the coef_ attribute. If set to an int greater than 1, averaging will begin once the total number of samples seen reaches average. So average=10 will begin averaging after seeing 10 samples.
Added in version 0.19: parameter average to use weights averaging in SGD.
Weights assigned to the features.
Constants in decision function.
Number of features seen during fit.
Added in version 0.24.
n_features_in_,)
Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.
Added in version 1.0.
The actual number of iterations to reach the stopping criterion. For multiclass fits, it is the maximum over every binary fit.
The unique classes labels.
Number of weight updates performed during training. Same as (n_iter_ * n_samples + 1).

Predict confidence scores for samples.
The confidence score for a sample is proportional to the signed distance of that sample to the hyperplane.
The data matrix for which we want to get the confidence scores.
Confidence scores per (n_samples, n_classes) combination. In the binary case, confidence score for self.classes_[1] where >0 means this class would be predicted.
Convert coefficient matrix to dense array format.
Converts the coef_ member (back) to a numpy.ndarray. This is the default format of coef_ and is required for fitting, so calling this method is only required on models that have previously been sparsified; otherwise, it is a no-op.
Fitted estimator.
Fit linear model with Passive Aggressive algorithm.
Training data.
Target values.
The initial coefficients to warm-start the optimization.
The initial intercept to warm-start the optimization.

Get metadata routing of this object.
Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.
A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.
Get parameters for this estimator.
If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Parameter names mapped to their values.
Fit linear model with Passive Aggressive algorithm.
Subset of the training data.
Subset of the target values.
Classes across all calls to partial_fit. Can be obtained by via np.unique(y_all), where y_all is the target vector of the entire dataset. This argument is required for the first call to partial_fit and can be omitted in the subsequent calls. Note that y doesn’t need to contain all labels in classes.
Fitted estimator.
Predict class labels for samples in X.
The data matrix for which we want to get the predictions.
Vector containing the class labels for each sample.
Return the mean accuracy on the given test data and labels.
In multi-label classification, this is the subset accuracy which is a harsh metric since you require for each sample that each label set be correctly predicted.
Test samples.
True labels for X.
Sample weights.
Mean accuracy of self.predict(X) w.r.t. y.
Request metadata passed to the fit method.
Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.
The options for each parameter are:
True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to fit.None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.
Added in version 1.3.
Note
This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.
Metadata routing for coef_init parameter in fit.
Metadata routing for intercept_init parameter in fit.
The updated object.
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.
Estimator parameters.
Estimator instance.
Request metadata passed to the partial_fit method.
Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.
The options for each parameter are:
True: metadata is requested, and passed to partial_fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to partial_fit.None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.
Added in version 1.3.
Note

Metadata routing for classes parameter in partial_fit.
The updated object.
Request metadata passed to the score method.
Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.
The options for each parameter are:
True: metadata is requested, and passed to score if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to score.None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.
Added in version 1.3.
Note
This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.
Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in score.
The updated object.
Convert coefficient matrix to sparse format.
Converts the coef_ member to a scipy.sparse matrix, which for L1-regularized models can be much more memory- and storage-efficient than the usual numpy.ndarray representation.
The intercept_ member is not converted.
Fitted estimator.
For non-sparse models, i.e. when there are not many zeros in coef_, this may actually increase memory usage, so use this method with care. A rule of thumb is that the number of zero elements, which can be computed with (coef_ == 0).sum(), must be more than 50% for this to provide significant benefits.
After calling this method, further fitting with the partial_fit method (if any) will not work until you call densify.
