====================================
Comparing Linear Bayesian Regressors
====================================
This example compares two different bayesian regressors:
- a :ref:`automatic_relevance_determination`
- a :ref:`bayesian_ridge_regression`
In the first part, we use an :ref:`ordinary_least_squares` (OLS) model as a
baseline for comparing the models' coefficients with respect to the true
coefficients. Thereafter, we show that the estimation of such models is done by
iteratively maximizing the marginal log-likelihood of the observations.
In the last section we plot predictions and uncertainties for the ARD and the
Bayesian Ridge regressions using a polynomial feature expansion to fit a
non-linear relationship between `X` and `y`.

# Generate synthetic dataset
# --------------------------
#
# We generate a dataset where `X` and `y` are linearly linked: 10 of the
# features of `X` will be used to generate `y`. The other features are not
# useful at predicting `y`. In addition, we generate a dataset where `n_samples
# == n_features`. Such a setting is challenging for an OLS model and leads
# potentially to arbitrary large weights. Having a prior on the weights and a
# penalty alleviates the problem. Finally, gaussian noise is added.

# Due to the added noise, none of the models recover the true weights. Indeed,
# all models always have more than 10 non-zero coefficients. Compared to the OLS
# estimator, the coefficients using a Bayesian Ridge regression are slightly
# shifted toward zero, which stabilises them. The ARD regression provides a
# sparser solution: some of the non-informative coefficients are set exactly to
# zero, while shifting others closer to zero. Some non-informative coefficients
# are still present and retain large values.

# The error bars represent one standard deviation of the predicted gaussian
# distribution of the query points. Notice that the ARD regression captures the
# ground truth the best when using the default parameters in both models, but
# further reducing the `lambda_init` hyperparameter of the Bayesian Ridge can
# reduce its bias (see example
# :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_linear_model_plot_bayesian_ridge_curvefit.py`).
# Finally, due to the intrinsic limitations of a polynomial regression, both
# models fail when extrapolating.
