sklearn.model_selection.learning_curve(estimator, X, y, *, groups=None, train_sizes=array([0.1, 0.33, 0.55, 0.78, 1.0]), cv=None, scoring=None, exploit_incremental_learning=False, n_jobs=None, pre_dispatch='all', verbose=0, shuffle=False, random_state=None, error_score=nan, return_times=False, fit_params=None) [source]
 
Learning curve. Determines cross-validated training and test scores for different training set sizes. A cross-validation generator splits the whole dataset k times in training and test data. Subsets of the training set with varying sizes will be used to train the estimator and a score for each training subset size and the test set will be computed. Afterwards, the scores will be averaged over all k runs for each training subset size. Read more in the User Guide.  Parameters 
 
estimatorobject type that implements the “fit” and “predict” methods 

An object of that type which is cloned for each validation.  
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features) 

Training vector, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.  
yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs) 

Target relative to X for classification or regression; None for unsupervised learning.  
groupsarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None 

Group labels for the samples used while splitting the dataset into train/test set. Only used in conjunction with a “Group” cv instance (e.g., GroupKFold).  
train_sizesarray-like of shape (n_ticks,), default=np.linspace(0.1, 1.0, 5) 

Relative or absolute numbers of training examples that will be used to generate the learning curve. If the dtype is float, it is regarded as a fraction of the maximum size of the training set (that is determined by the selected validation method), i.e. it has to be within (0, 1]. Otherwise it is interpreted as absolute sizes of the training sets. Note that for classification the number of samples usually have to be big enough to contain at least one sample from each class.  
cvint, cross-validation generator or an iterable, default=None 

Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:  None, to use the default 5-fold cross validation, int, to specify the number of folds in a (Stratified)KFold, 
CV splitter, An iterable yielding (train, test) splits as arrays of indices.  For int/None inputs, if the estimator is a classifier and y is either binary or multiclass, StratifiedKFold is used. In all other cases, KFold is used. Refer User Guide for the various cross-validation strategies that can be used here.  Changed in version 0.22: cv default value if None changed from 3-fold to 5-fold.   
scoringstr or callable, default=None 

A str (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y).  
exploit_incremental_learningbool, default=False 

If the estimator supports incremental learning, this will be used to speed up fitting for different training set sizes.  
n_jobsint, default=None 

Number of jobs to run in parallel. Training the estimator and computing the score are parallelized over the different training and test sets. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.  
pre_dispatchint or str, default=’all’ 

Number of predispatched jobs for parallel execution (default is all). The option can reduce the allocated memory. The str can be an expression like ‘2*n_jobs’.  
verboseint, default=0 

Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages.  
shufflebool, default=False 

Whether to shuffle training data before taking prefixes of it based on``train_sizes``.  
random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None 

Used when shuffle is True. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.  
error_score‘raise’ or numeric, default=np.nan 

Value to assign to the score if an error occurs in estimator fitting. If set to ‘raise’, the error is raised. If a numeric value is given, FitFailedWarning is raised.  New in version 0.20.   
return_timesbool, default=False 

Whether to return the fit and score times.  
fit_paramsdict, default=None 

Parameters to pass to the fit method of the estimator.  New in version 0.24.     Returns 
 
train_sizes_absarray of shape (n_unique_ticks,) 

Numbers of training examples that has been used to generate the learning curve. Note that the number of ticks might be less than n_ticks because duplicate entries will be removed.  
train_scoresarray of shape (n_ticks, n_cv_folds) 

Scores on training sets.  
test_scoresarray of shape (n_ticks, n_cv_folds) 

Scores on test set.  
fit_timesarray of shape (n_ticks, n_cv_folds) 

Times spent for fitting in seconds. Only present if return_times is True.  
score_timesarray of shape (n_ticks, n_cv_folds) 

Times spent for scoring in seconds. Only present if return_times is True.     Notes See examples/model_selection/plot_learning_curve.py
