class sklearn.ensemble.BaggingClassifier(base_estimator=None, n_estimators=10, *, max_samples=1.0, max_features=1.0, bootstrap=True, bootstrap_features=False, oob_score=False, warm_start=False, n_jobs=None, random_state=None, verbose=0) [source]
 
A Bagging classifier. A Bagging classifier is an ensemble meta-estimator that fits base classifiers each on random subsets of the original dataset and then aggregate their individual predictions (either by voting or by averaging) to form a final prediction. Such a meta-estimator can typically be used as a way to reduce the variance of a black-box estimator (e.g., a decision tree), by introducing randomization into its construction procedure and then making an ensemble out of it. This algorithm encompasses several works from the literature. When random subsets of the dataset are drawn as random subsets of the samples, then this algorithm is known as Pasting [1]. If samples are drawn with replacement, then the method is known as Bagging [2]. When random subsets of the dataset are drawn as random subsets of the features, then the method is known as Random Subspaces [3]. Finally, when base estimators are built on subsets of both samples and features, then the method is known as Random Patches [4]. Read more in the User Guide.  New in version 0.15.   Parameters 
 
base_estimatorobject, default=None 

The base estimator to fit on random subsets of the dataset. If None, then the base estimator is a DecisionTreeClassifier.  
n_estimatorsint, default=10 

The number of base estimators in the ensemble.  
max_samplesint or float, default=1.0 

The number of samples to draw from X to train each base estimator (with replacement by default, see bootstrap for more details).  If int, then draw max_samples samples. If float, then draw max_samples * X.shape[0] samples.   
max_featuresint or float, default=1.0 

The number of features to draw from X to train each base estimator ( without replacement by default, see bootstrap_features for more details).  If int, then draw max_features features. If float, then draw max_features * X.shape[1] features.   
bootstrapbool, default=True 

Whether samples are drawn with replacement. If False, sampling without replacement is performed.  
bootstrap_featuresbool, default=False 

Whether features are drawn with replacement.  
oob_scorebool, default=False 

Whether to use out-of-bag samples to estimate the generalization error.  
warm_startbool, default=False 

When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just fit a whole new ensemble. See the Glossary.  New in version 0.17: warm_start constructor parameter.   
n_jobsint, default=None 

The number of jobs to run in parallel for both fit and predict. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.  
random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None 

Controls the random resampling of the original dataset (sample wise and feature wise). If the base estimator accepts a random_state attribute, a different seed is generated for each instance in the ensemble. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.  
verboseint, default=0 

Controls the verbosity when fitting and predicting.    Attributes 
 
base_estimator_estimator 

The base estimator from which the ensemble is grown.  
n_features_int 

The number of features when fit is performed.  
estimators_list of estimators 

The collection of fitted base estimators.  
estimators_samples_list of arrays 

The subset of drawn samples for each base estimator.  
estimators_features_list of arrays 

The subset of drawn features for each base estimator.  
classes_ndarray of shape (n_classes,) 

The classes labels.  
n_classes_int or list 

The number of classes.  
oob_score_float 

Score of the training dataset obtained using an out-of-bag estimate. This attribute exists only when oob_score is True.  
oob_decision_function_ndarray of shape (n_samples, n_classes) 

Decision function computed with out-of-bag estimate on the training set. If n_estimators is small it might be possible that a data point was never left out during the bootstrap. In this case, oob_decision_function_ might contain NaN. This attribute exists only when oob_score is True.     References

decision_function(X) [source]
 
Average of the decision functions of the base classifiers.  Parameters 
 
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features) 

The training input samples. Sparse matrices are accepted only if they are supported by the base estimator.    Returns 
 
scorendarray of shape (n_samples, k) 

The decision function of the input samples. The columns correspond to the classes in sorted order, as they appear in the attribute classes_. Regression and binary classification are special cases with k == 1, otherwise k==n_classes.     
  
property estimators_samples_  
The subset of drawn samples for each base estimator. Returns a dynamically generated list of indices identifying the samples used for fitting each member of the ensemble, i.e., the in-bag samples. Note: the list is re-created at each call to the property in order to reduce the object memory footprint by not storing the sampling data. Thus fetching the property may be slower than expected.

set (X, y).    Parameters

Predict class probabilities for X. The predicted class probabilities of an input sample is computed as the mean predicted class probabilities of the base estimators in the ensemble. If base estimators do not implement a predict_proba method, then it resorts to voting and the predicted class probabilities of an input sample represents the proportion of estimators predicting each class.

Return the mean accuracy on the given test data and labels. In multi-label classification, this is the subset accuracy which is a harsh metric since you require for each sample that each label set be correctly predicted.  Parameters
