# LogisticRegression¶

Logistic regression.

This estimator supports learning with mini-batches. On top of the single instance methods, it provides the following methods: learn_many, predict_many, predict_proba_many. Each method takes as input a pandas.DataFrame where each column represents a feature.

It is generally a good idea to scale the data beforehand in order for the optimizer to converge. You can do this online with a preprocessing.StandardScaler.

## Parameters¶

• optimizer (optim.base.Optimizer) – defaults to None

The sequential optimizer used for updating the weights. Note that the intercept is handled separately.

• loss (optim.losses.BinaryLoss) – defaults to None

The loss function to optimize for. Defaults to optim.losses.Log.

• l2 – defaults to 0.0

Amount of L2 regularization used to push weights towards 0. For now, only one type of penalty can be used. The joint use of L1 and L2 is not explicitly supported.

• l1 – defaults to 0.0

Amount of L1 regularization used to push weights towards 0. For now, only one type of penalty can be used. The joint use of L1 and L2 is not explicitly supported.

• intercept_init – defaults to 0.0

Initial intercept value.

• intercept_lr (Union[float, optim.base.Scheduler]) – defaults to 0.01

Learning rate scheduler used for updating the intercept. A optim.schedulers.Constant is used if a float is provided. The intercept is not updated when this is set to 0.

• clip_gradient – defaults to 1000000000000.0

Clips the absolute value of each gradient value.

• initializer (optim.base.Initializer) – defaults to None

Weights initialization scheme.

## Attributes¶

• weights

The current weights.

## Examples¶

>>> from river import datasets
>>> from river import evaluate
>>> from river import linear_model
>>> from river import metrics
>>> from river import optim
>>> from river import preprocessing

>>> dataset = datasets.Phishing()

>>> model = (
...     preprocessing.StandardScaler() |
...     linear_model.LogisticRegression(optimizer=optim.SGD(.1))
... )

>>> metric = metrics.Accuracy()

>>> evaluate.progressive_val_score(dataset, model, metric)
Accuracy: 88.96%
