class sklearn.covariance.ShrunkCovariance(*, store_precision=True, assume_centered=False, shrinkage=0.1) [source]
 
Covariance estimator with shrinkage Read more in the User Guide.  Parameters 
 
store_precisionbool, default=True 

Specify if the estimated precision is stored  
assume_centeredbool, default=False 

If True, data will not be centered before computation. Useful when working with data whose mean is almost, but not exactly zero. If False, data will be centered before computation.  
shrinkagefloat, default=0.1 

Coefficient in the convex combination used for the computation of the shrunk estimate. Range is [0, 1].    Attributes 
 
covariance_ndarray of shape (n_features, n_features) 

Estimated covariance matrix  
location_ndarray of shape (n_features,) 

Estimated location, i.e. the estimated mean.  
precision_ndarray of shape (n_features, n_features) 

Estimated pseudo inverse matrix. (stored only if store_precision is True)     Notes The regularized covariance is given by: (1 - shrinkage) * cov + shrinkage * mu * np.identity(n_features) where mu = trace(cov) / n_features Examples >>> import numpy as np

fit(X[, y]) Fit the shrunk covariance model according to the given training data and parameters.  
get_params([deep]) Get parameters for this estimator.  
get_precision() Getter for the precision matrix.  
mahalanobis(X) Computes the squared Mahalanobis distances of given observations.  
score(X_test[, y]) Computes the log-likelihood of a Gaussian data set with self.covariance_ as an estimator of its covariance matrix.

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_covarray-like of shape (n_features, n_features) 

The covariance to compare with.  
norm{“frobenius”, “spectral”}, default=”frobenius” 

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_).  
scalingbool, default=True 

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

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 
 
resultfloat 

The Mean Squared Error (in the sense of the Frobenius norm) between self and comp_cov covariance estimators.     
  
fit(X, y=None) [source]
 
Fit the shrunk covariance model according to the given training data and parameters.  Parameters 
 
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features) 

Training data, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.  y: Ignored

Not used, present for API consistency by convention.    Returns 
 
selfobject 
   
  
get_params(deep=True) [source]
 
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
