sklearn.multioutput.RegressorChain

class sklearn.multioutput.RegressorChain(base_estimator, order=None, cv=None, random_state=None)[source]

A multi-label model that arranges regressions into a chain.

Each model makes a prediction in the order specified by the chain using all of the available features provided to the model plus the predictions of models that are earlier in the chain.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters
base_estimatorestimator

The base estimator from which the classifier chain is built.

orderarray-like, shape=[n_outputs] or ‘random’, optional

By default the order will be determined by the order of columns in the label matrix Y.:

order = [0, 1, 2, ..., Y.shape[1] - 1]

The order of the chain can be explicitly set by providing a list of integers. For example, for a chain of length 5.:

order = [1, 3, 2, 4, 0]

means that the first model in the chain will make predictions for column 1 in the Y matrix, the second model will make predictions for column 3, etc.

If order is ‘random’ a random ordering will be used.

cvint, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional (default=None)

Determines whether to use cross validated predictions or true labels for the results of previous estimators in the chain. If cv is None the true labels are used when fitting. Otherwise possible inputs for cv are:

  • integer, to specify the number of folds in a (Stratified)KFold,

  • CV splitter,

  • An iterable yielding (train, test) splits as arrays of indices.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)

If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.

The random number generator is used to generate random chain orders.

Attributes
estimators_list

A list of clones of base_estimator.

order_list

The order of labels in the classifier chain.

MultioutputRegressor

Learns each output independently rather than chaining.

Methods

fit(self, X, Y)

Fit the model to data matrix X and targets Y.

get_params(self[, deep])

Get parameters for this estimator.

predict(self, X)

Predict on the data matrix X using the ClassifierChain model.

score(self, X, y[, sample_weight])

Returns the coefficient of determination R^2 of the prediction.

set_params(self, \*\*params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.
__init__(self, base_estimator, order=None, cv=None, random_state=None)[source]

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

fit(self, X, Y)[source]

Fit the model to data matrix X and targets Y.

Parameters
X{array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features)

The input data.

Yarray-like, shape (n_samples, n_classes)

The target values.

Returns
selfobject
get_params(self, deep=True)[source]

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters
deepboolean, optional

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

Returns
paramsmapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

predict(self, X)[source]

Predict on the data matrix X using the ClassifierChain model.

Parameters
X{array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features)

The input data.

Returns
Y_predarray-like, shape (n_samples, n_classes)

The predicted values.

score(self, X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]

Returns the coefficient of determination R^2 of the prediction.

The coefficient R^2 is defined as (1 - u/v), where u is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_pred) ** 2).sum() and v is the total sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). The best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a R^2 score of 0.0.

Parameters
Xarray-like, shape = (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples. For some estimators this may be a precomputed kernel matrix instead, shape = (n_samples, n_samples_fitted], where n_samples_fitted is the number of samples used in the fitting for the estimator.

yarray-like, shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True values for X.

sample_weightarray-like, shape = [n_samples], optional

Sample weights.

Returns
scorefloat

R^2 of self.predict(X) wrt. y.

Notes

The R2 score used when calling score on a regressor will use multioutput='uniform_average' from version 0.23 to keep consistent with r2_score. This will influence the score method of all the multioutput regressors (except for MultiOutputRegressor). To specify the default value manually and avoid the warning, please either call r2_score directly or make a custom scorer with make_scorer (the built-in scorer 'r2' uses multioutput='uniform_average').

set_params(self, **params)[source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns
self
