Parameters
penalty penalty: {'l1', 'l2', 'elasticnet', None}, default='l2'

Specify the norm of the penalty:

- `None`: no penalty is added;
- `'l2'`: add a L2 penalty term and it is the default choice;
- `'l1'`: add a L1 penalty term;
- `'elasticnet'`: both L1 and L2 penalty terms are added.

.. warning::
Some penalties may not work with some solvers. See the parameter
`solver` below, to know the compatibility between the penalty and
solver.

.. versionadded:: 0.19
l1 penalty with SAGA solver (allowing 'multinomial' + L1)

.. deprecated:: 1.8
`penalty` was deprecated in version 1.8 and will be removed in 1.10.
Use `l1_ratio` instead. `l1_ratio=0` for `penalty='l2'`, `l1_ratio=1` for
`penalty='l1'` and `l1_ratio` set to any float between 0 and 1 for
`'penalty='elasticnet'`.
'deprecated'
C C: float, default=1.0

Inverse of regularization strength; must be a positive float.
Like in support vector machines, smaller values specify stronger
regularization. `C=np.inf` results in unpenalized logistic regression.
For a visual example on the effect of tuning the `C` parameter
with an L1 penalty, see:
:ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_linear_model_plot_logistic_path.py`.
1.0
l1_ratio l1_ratio: float, default=0.0

The Elastic-Net mixing parameter, with `0 <= l1_ratio <= 1`. Setting
`l1_ratio=1` gives a pure L1-penalty, setting `l1_ratio=0` a pure L2-penalty.
Any value between 0 and 1 gives an Elastic-Net penalty of the form
`l1_ratio * L1 + (1 - l1_ratio) * L2`.

.. warning::
Certain values of `l1_ratio`, i.e. some penalties, may not work with some
solvers. See the parameter `solver` below, to know the compatibility between
the penalty and solver.

.. versionchanged:: 1.8
Default value changed from None to 0.0.

.. deprecated:: 1.8
`None` is deprecated and will be removed in version 1.10. Always use
`l1_ratio` to specify the penalty type.
0.0
dual dual: bool, default=False

Dual (constrained) or primal (regularized, see also
:ref:`this equation `) formulation. Dual formulation
is only implemented for l2 penalty with liblinear solver. Prefer `dual=False`
when n_samples > n_features.
False
tol tol: float, default=1e-4

Tolerance for stopping criteria.
0.0001
fit_intercept fit_intercept: bool, default=True

Specifies if a constant (a.k.a. bias or intercept) should be
added to the decision function.
True
intercept_scaling intercept_scaling: float, default=1

Useful only when the solver `liblinear` is used
and `self.fit_intercept` is set to `True`. In this case, `x` becomes
`[x, self.intercept_scaling]`,
i.e. a "synthetic" feature with constant value equal 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 or 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.
1
class_weight class_weight: dict or 'balanced', default=None

Weights associated with classes in the form ``{class_label: weight}``.
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))``.

Note that these weights will be multiplied with sample_weight (passed
through the fit method) if sample_weight is specified.

.. versionadded:: 0.17
*class_weight='balanced'*
None
random_state random_state: int, RandomState instance, default=None

Used when ``solver`` == 'sag', 'saga' or 'liblinear' to shuffle the
data. See :term:`Glossary ` for details.
None
solver solver: {'lbfgs', 'liblinear', 'newton-cg', 'newton-cholesky', 'sag', 'saga'}, default='lbfgs'

Algorithm to use in the optimization problem. Default is 'lbfgs'.
To choose a solver, you might want to consider the following aspects:

- 'lbfgs' is a good default solver because it works reasonably well for a wide
class of problems.
- For :term:`multiclass` problems (`n_classes >= 3`), all solvers except
'liblinear' minimize the full multinomial loss, 'liblinear' will raise an
error.
- 'newton-cholesky' is a good choice for
`n_samples` >> `n_features * n_classes`, especially with one-hot encoded
categorical features with rare categories. Be aware that the memory usage
of this solver has a quadratic dependency on `n_features * n_classes`
because it explicitly computes the full Hessian matrix.
- For small datasets, 'liblinear' is a good choice, whereas 'sag'
and 'saga' are faster for large ones;
- 'liblinear' can only handle binary classification by default. To apply a
one-versus-rest scheme for the multiclass setting one can wrap it with the
:class:`~sklearn.multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier`.

.. warning::
The choice of the algorithm depends on the penalty chosen (`l1_ratio=0`
for L2-penalty, `l1_ratio=1` for L1-penalty and `0 < l1_ratio < 1` for
Elastic-Net) and on (multinomial) multiclass support:

================= ======================== ======================
solver l1_ratio multinomial multiclass
================= ======================== ======================
'lbfgs' l1_ratio=0 yes
'liblinear' l1_ratio=1 or l1_ratio=0 no
'newton-cg' l1_ratio=0 yes
'newton-cholesky' l1_ratio=0 yes
'sag' l1_ratio=0 yes
'saga' 0<=l1_ratio<=1 yes
================= ======================== ======================

.. note::
'sag' and 'saga' fast convergence is only guaranteed on features
with approximately the same scale. You can preprocess the data with
a scaler from :mod:`sklearn.preprocessing`.

.. seealso::
Refer to the :ref:`User Guide ` for more
information regarding :class:`LogisticRegression` and more specifically the
:ref:`Table `
summarizing solver/penalty supports.

.. versionadded:: 0.17

'lbfgs'
max_iter max_iter: int, default=100

Maximum number of iterations taken for the solvers to converge.
1000
verbose verbose: int, default=0

For the liblinear and lbfgs solvers set verbose to any positive
number for verbosity.
0
warm_start warm_start: bool, default=False

When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as
initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.
Useless for liblinear solver. See :term:`the Glossary `.

Parameters
n_neighbors n_neighbors: int, default=5

Number of neighbors to use by default for :meth:`kneighbors` queries.
3
weights weights: {'uniform', 'distance'}, callable or None, default='uniform'

Weight function used in prediction. Possible values:

- 'uniform' : uniform weights. All points in each neighborhood
are weighted equally.
- 'distance' : weight points by the inverse of their distance.
in this case, closer neighbors of a query point will have a
greater influence than neighbors which are further away.
- [callable] : a user-defined function which accepts an
array of distances, and returns an array of the same shape
containing the weights.

Refer to the example entitled
:ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_neighbors_plot_classification.py`
showing the impact of the `weights` parameter on the decision
boundary.
'uniform'
algorithm algorithm: {'auto', 'ball_tree', 'kd_tree', 'brute'}, default='auto'

Algorithm used to compute the nearest neighbors:

- 'ball_tree' will use :class:`BallTree`
- 'kd_tree' will use :class:`KDTree`
- 'brute' will use a brute-force search.
- 'auto' will attempt to decide the most appropriate algorithm
based on the values passed to :meth:`fit` method.

Note: fitting on sparse input will override the setting of
this parameter, using brute force.
'auto'
leaf_size leaf_size: int, default=30

Leaf size passed to BallTree or KDTree. This can affect the
speed of the construction and query, as well as the memory
required to store the tree. The optimal value depends on the
nature of the problem.
30
p p: float, default=2

Power parameter for the Minkowski metric. When p = 1, this is equivalent
to using manhattan_distance (l1), and euclidean_distance (l2) for p = 2.
For arbitrary p, minkowski_distance (l_p) is used. This parameter is expected
to be positive.
2
metric metric: str or callable, default='minkowski'

Metric to use for distance computation. Default is "minkowski", which
results in the standard Euclidean distance when p = 2. See the
documentation of `scipy.spatial.distance
`_ and
the metrics listed in
:class:`~sklearn.metrics.pairwise.distance_metrics` for valid metric
values.

If metric is "precomputed", X is assumed to be a distance matrix and
must be square during fit. X may be a :term:`sparse graph`, in which
case only "nonzero" elements may be considered neighbors.

If metric is a callable function, it takes two arrays representing 1D
vectors as inputs and must return one value indicating the distance
between those vectors. This works for Scipy's metrics, but is less
efficient than passing the metric name as a string.
'minkowski'
metric_params metric_params: dict, default=None

Additional keyword arguments for the metric function.
None
n_jobs n_jobs: int, default=None

The number of parallel jobs to run for neighbors search.
``None`` means 1 unless in a :obj:`joblib.parallel_backend` context.
``-1`` means using all processors. See :term:`Glossary `
for more details.
Doesn't affect :meth:`fit` method.
None
