我有 X_train 和 y_train 作为大小分别为 (32561, 108) 和 (32561,) 的 2 个 numpy.ndarrays。
每次调用适合我的 GaussianProcessClassifier 时，我都会收到内存错误。

为什么会出现此错误，我该如何解决？
请您参考如下方法:
根据 Scikit-Learn documentation ，估计器GaussianProcessClassifier(以及GaussianProcessRegressor)，有一个参数copy_X_train，默认设置为True :
class sklearn.gaussian_process.GaussianProcessClassifier(kernel=None, optimizer=’fmin_l_bfgs_b’, n_restarts_optimizer=0, max_iter_predict=100, warm_start=False, copy_X_train=True, random_state=None, multi_class=’one_vs_rest’, n_jobs=1)
参数copy_X_train 的说明指出:
If True, a persistent copy of the training data is stored in the object. Otherwise, just a reference to the training data is stored, which might cause predictions to change if the data is modified externally.
我曾尝试在具有 32 GB RAM 的 PC 上使用 OP 提到的类似大小的训练数据集(观察和特征)来拟合估算器。当 copy_X_train 设置为 True 时，“训练数据的持久副本” 可能会耗尽我的 RAM，导致 MemoryError。将此参数设置为 False 解决了这个问题。
Scikit-Learn 的描述指出，基于此设置“仅存储对训练数据的引用，如果外部修改数据，这可能会导致预测发生变化”。我对这句话的解释是:
Instead of storing the whole training dataset (in the form of a matrix of size nxn based on n observations) in the fitted estimator, only a reference to this dataset is stored - hence avoiding the high RAM usage. As long as the dataset stays intact externally (i.e not within the fitted estimator), it can be reliably fetched when a prediction has to be made. Modification of the dataset affects the predictions.
可能会有更好的解释和理论解释。
