LinearSVC
Linear Support Vector Classification.
Similar to SVC with parameter kernel=’linear’, but implemented in terms of liblinear rather than libsvm, so it has more flexibility in the choice of penalties and loss functions and should scale better to large numbers of samples.
This class supports both dense and sparse input and the multiclass support is handled according to a one-vs-the-rest scheme.

new LinearSVC(opts?: object): LinearSVC;Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
opts? | object | - |
opts.C? | number | Regularization parameter. The strength of the regularization is inversely proportional to C. Must be strictly positive. Default Value 1 |
opts.class_weight? | any | Set the parameter C of class i to class\_weight\[i\]\*C for SVC. 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)). |
opts.dual? | boolean | Select the algorithm to either solve the dual or primal optimization problem. Prefer dual=false when n_samples > n_features. Default Value true |
opts.fit_intercept? | boolean | Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set to false, no intercept will be used in calculations (i.e. data is expected to be already centered). Default Value true |
opts.intercept_scaling? | number | When self.fit_intercept is true, instance vector x becomes \[x, self.intercept\_scaling\], i.e. a “synthetic” feature with constant value equals to intercept_scaling is appended to the instance vector. The intercept becomes intercept_scaling * synthetic feature weight Note! the synthetic feature weight is subject to l1/l2 regularization as all other features. To lessen the effect of regularization on synthetic feature weight (and therefore on the intercept) intercept_scaling has to be increased. Default Value 1 |
opts.loss? | "hinge" | "squared_hinge" | Specifies the loss function. ‘hinge’ is the standard SVM loss (used e.g. by the SVC class) while ‘squared_hinge’ is the square of the hinge loss. The combination of penalty='l1' and loss='hinge' is not supported. Default Value 'squared_hinge' |
opts.max_iter? | number | The maximum number of iterations to be run. Default Value 1000 |
opts.multi_class? | "ovr" | "crammer_singer" | Determines the multi-class strategy if y contains more than two classes. "ovr" trains n_classes one-vs-rest classifiers, while "crammer\_singer" optimizes a joint objective over all classes. While crammer\_singer is interesting from a theoretical perspective as it is consistent, it is seldom used in practice as it rarely leads to better accuracy and is more expensive to compute. If "crammer\_singer" is chosen, the options loss, penalty and dual will be ignored. Default Value 'ovr' |
opts.penalty? | "l1" | "l2" | Specifies the norm used in the penalization. The ‘l2’ penalty is the standard used in SVC. The ‘l1’ leads to coef\_ vectors that are sparse. Default Value 'l2' |
opts.random_state? | number | Controls the pseudo random number generation for shuffling the data for the dual coordinate descent (if dual=True). When dual=False the underlying implementation of LinearSVC is not random and random\_state has no effect on the results. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary. |
opts.tol? | number | Tolerance for stopping criteria. Default Value 0.0001 |
opts.verbose? | number | Enable verbose output. Note that this setting takes advantage of a per-process runtime setting in liblinear that, if enabled, may not work properly in a multithreaded context. Default Value 0 |

Methods
decision_function()
Predict confidence scores for samples.
The confidence score for a sample is proportional to the signed distance of that sample to the hyperplane.
Signature
decision_function(opts: object): Promise<ArrayLike>;Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
opts | object | - |
opts.X? | ArrayLike | The data matrix for which we want to get the confidence scores. |
Returns
Promise<ArrayLike>
Defined in: generated/svm/LinearSVC.ts:197 (opens in a new tab)
densify()
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.
Signature

score()
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.
