# mne.decoding.LinearModel¶

class mne.decoding.LinearModel(model=None)[source]

Compute and store patterns from linear models.

The linear model coefficients (filters) are used to extract discriminant neural sources from the measured data. This class computes the corresponding patterns of these linear filters to make them more interpretable [R3a399a9ea758-1].

Parameters
modelobject | None

A linear model from scikit-learn with a fit method that updates a coef_ attribute. If None the model will be LogisticRegression.

Notes

New in version 0.10.

The training input samples to estimate the linear coefficients.

yarray, shape (n_samples, [n_targets])

The target values.

**fit_paramsdict of str -> object

Parameters to pass to the fit method of the estimator.

Returns
selfinstance of LinearModel

Returns the modified instance.

Examples using fit:

fit_transform(self, X, y)[source]

Fit the data and transform it using the linear model.

Parameters
Xarray, shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples to estimate the linear coefficients.

yarray, shape (n_samples,)

The target values.

Returns
y_predarray, shape (n_samples,)

The predicted targets.

get_params(self, deep=True)[source]

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters
deepbool, optional

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns
paramsmapping of str to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

predict(self, X)[source]

Compute predictions of y from X.

Parameters
Xarray, shape (n_samples, n_features)

The data used to compute the predictions.

Returns
y_predarray, shape (n_samples,)

The predictions.

predict_proba(self, X)[source]

Compute probabilistic predictions of y from X.

Parameters
Xarray, shape (n_samples, n_features)

The data used to compute the predictions.

Returns
y_predarray, shape (n_samples, n_classes)
