Ridge Regression
This module contains an implementation of Ridge Regression, a linear regression variant that includes regularization to prevent overfitting.
Overview
Ridge Regression is a linear regression technique with an added regularization term to handle multicollinearity and prevent the model from becoming too complex.
Usage
To use Ridge Regression, follow these steps:
- Import the
RidgeRegression
class. - Create an instance of the class, specifying the regularization parameter (
alpha
). - Fit the model to your training data using the
fit
method. - Make predictions using the
predict
method.
Example:
from RidgeRegression import RidgeRegression
ridge_model = RidgeRegression(alpha=0.1)
ridge_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
predictions = ridge_model.predict(X_test)
Parameters
alpha
: Regularization strength. A higher alpha increases the penalty for large coefficients.
Installation
To use this module, make sure you have the required dependencies installed:
