Package: nestedhyperline
Nested Cross-Validation for Bayesian Optimized Linear RegularizationDescriptionA Python implementation that unifies Nested K-Fold Cross-Validation, Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization, and Linear Regularization. Designed for rapid prototyping on small to mid-sized data sets (can be manipulated within memory). Quickly obtains high quality prediction results by abstracting away tedious hyperparameter tuning and implementation details in favor of usability and implementation speed. Bayesian Hyperparamter Optimization utilizes Tree Parzen Estimation (TPE) from theHyperoptpackage. Linear Regularization can be conducted one of three ways. Select betweenRidge,Lasso, orElastic-Net. Useful where linear regression is applicable.FeaturesConsistent syntax across all Linear Regularization methods.Supported Linear Regularization methods:Ridge,Lasso,Elastic-Net.Returns custom object that includes performance metrics and plots.Developed for readability, maintainability, and future improvement.RequirementsPython 3NumPyPandasMatPlotLibSeabornScikit-LearnHyperoptInstallation## install pypi releasepipinstallnestedhyperline## install developer versionpipinstallgit+https://github.com/nickkunz/nestedhyperline.gitUsage## load librariesfromnestedhyperlineimportregressorsfromsklearnimportdatasetsimportpandas## load datahousing_sklearn=datasets.load_boston()housing=pandas.DataFrame(housing_sklearn.data,columns=housing_sklearn.feature_names)housing['target']=pandas.Series(housing_sklearn.target)## conduct lasso regressionresults=regressors.lasso_ncv_regressor(data=housing,y='target',loss='mse',k_inner=3,k_outer=3,n_evals=300)## preview performanceresults.error_mean()## preview plotsresults.plot_error_mean()results.plot_lambda()results.plot_regular()results.plot_coef()Exampleshttps://github.com/nickkunz/nestedhyperline/blob/master/examples/nestedhyperline_example_ridge.ipynbLicense© Nick Kunz, 2019.
