0.6
===
scikits.learn 0.6 was released on december 2010. It is marked by the
inclusion of several new modules and a general renaming of old
ones. It is also marked by the inclusion of new example, including
applications to real-world datasets.

Changelog
---------
- New `stochastic gradient
<http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/modules/sgd.html>`_ descent
module by Peter Prettenhofer. The module comes with complete
documentation and some examples can
- Improved svm module: memory consumption has been reduced by 50%,
heuristic to automatically set class weights, possibility to
assign weights to samples (see
:ref:`example_svm_plot_weighted_samples.py` for an example).
- New :ref:`gaussian_process` module by Vincent Dubourg. This module
also has great documentation and some very neat examples. See
:ref:`example_gaussian_process_plot_gp_regression.py` or
:ref:`example_gaussian_process_plot_gp_probabilistic_classification_after_regression.py`
for a taste of what can be done.
- It is now possible to use liblinear’s Multi-class SVC (option
multi_class in :class:`linear_model.LinearSVC`)
- New features and performance improvements of text feature
extraction.
- Improved sparse matrix support, both in main classes
(:class:`grid_search.GridSearch`) as in modules
scikits.learn.svm.sparse and scikits.learn.linear_model.sparse.
- Lots of cool new examples and a new section that uses real-world
datasets was created. These include:
:ref:`example_applications_plot_face_recognition.py`,
:ref:`example_applications_plot_species_distribution_modeling.py`,
:ref:`example_applications_svm_gui.py`,
:ref:`example_applications_wikipedia_principal_eigenvector.py` and
others.
- Faster LARS algorithm. It is now 2x faster than the R version on
worst case and up to 10x times faster on some cases.
- Faster coordinate descent algorithm. In particular, the full path
version of lasso (:func:`linear_model.lasso_path`) is more than
200x times faster than before.
- It is now possible to get probability estimates from a
:class:`linear_model.LogisticRegression` model.
- module renaming: the glm module has been renamed to linear_model,
the gmm module has been included into the more general mixture
model and the sgd module has been included in linear_model.
- Lots of bug fixes and documentation improvements.
