classification, you need to set the class label for which the PDPs should be created via the ``target`` argument:: >>> from sklearn.datasets import load\_iris >>> iris = load\_iris() >>> mc\_clf = GradientBoostingClassifier(n\_estimators=10, ... max\_depth=1).fit(iris.data, iris.target) >>> features = [3, 2, (3, 2)] >>> PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator(mc\_clf, X, features, target=0) <...> The same parameter ``target`` is used to specify the target in multi-output regression settings. If you need the raw values of the partial dependence function rather than the plots, you can use the :func:`sklearn.inspection.partial\_dependence` function:: >>> from sklearn.inspection import partial\_dependence >>> results = partial\_dependence(clf, X, [0]) >>> results["average"] array([[ 2.466..., 2.466..., ... >>> results["grid\_values"] [array([-1.624..., -1.592..., ... The values at which the partial dependence should be evaluated are directly generated from ``X``. For 2-way partial dependence, a 2D-grid of values is generated. The ``values`` field returned by :func:`sklearn.inspection.partial\_dependence` gives the actual values used in the grid for each input feature of interest. They also correspond to the axis of the plots. .. \_individual\_conditional: Individual conditional expectation (ICE) plot ============================================= Similar to a PDP, an individual conditional expectation (ICE) plot shows the dependence between the target function and an input feature of interest. However, unlike a PDP, which shows the average effect of the input feature, an ICE plot visualizes the dependence of the prediction on a feature for each sample separately with one line per sample. Due to the limits of human perception, only one input feature of interest is supported for ICE plots. The figures below show two ICE plots for the bike sharing dataset, with a :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor`. The figures plot the corresponding PD line overlaid on ICE lines. .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/inspection/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_partial\_dependence\_004.png :target: ../auto\_examples/inspection/plot\_partial\_dependence.html :align: center :scale: 70 While the PDPs are good at showing the average effect of the target features, they can obscure a heterogeneous relationship created by interactions. When interactions are present the ICE plot will provide many more insights. For example, we see that the ICE for the temperature feature gives us some additional information: some of the ICE lines are flat while some others show a decrease of the dependence for temperature above 35 degrees Celsius. We observe a similar pattern for the humidity feature: some of the ICE lines show a sharp decrease when the humidity is above 80%. The :mod:`sklearn.inspection` module's :meth:`PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator` convenience function can be used to create ICE plots by setting ``kind='individual'``. In the example below, we show how to create a grid of ICE plots: >>> from sklearn.datasets import make\_hastie\_10\_2 >>> from sklearn.ensemble import GradientBoostingClassifier >>> from sklearn.inspection import PartialDependenceDisplay >>> X, y = make\_hastie\_10\_2(random\_state=0) >>> clf = GradientBoostingClassifier(n\_estimators=100, learning\_rate=1.0, ... max\_depth=1, random\_state=0).fit(X, y) >>> features = [0, 1] >>> PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator(clf, X, features, ... kind='individual') <...> In ICE plots it might not be easy to see the average effect of the input feature of interest. Hence, it is recommended to use ICE plots alongside PDPs. They can be plotted together with ``kind='both'``. >>> PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator(clf, X, features, ... kind='both') <...> If there are too many lines in an ICE plot, it can be difficult to see differences between individual samples and interpret the model. Centering the ICE at the first value on the x-axis, produces centered Individual Conditional Expectation (cICE) plots [G2015]\_. This puts emphasis on the divergence of individual conditional expectations from the mean line, thus making it easier to explore heterogeneous relationships. cICE plots can be plotted by setting `centered=True`: >>> PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator(clf, X, features, ... kind='both', centered=True) <...> Mathematical Definition ======================= Let :math:`X\_S` be the set of input features of interest (i.e. the `features` parameter) and let :math:`X\_C` be its complement.

heterogeneous relationships. cICE plots can be plotted by setting `centered=True`: >>> PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator(clf, X, features, ... kind='both', centered=True) <...> Mathematical Definition ======================= Let :math:`X\_S` be the set of input features of interest (i.e. the `features` parameter) and let :math:`X\_C` be its complement. The partial dependence of the response :math:`f` at a point :math:`x\_S` is defined as: .. math:: pd\_{X\_S}(x\_S) &\overset{def}{=} \mathbb{E}\_{X\_C}\left[ f(x\_S, X\_C) \right]\\ &= \int f(x\_S, x\_C) p(x\_C) dx\_C, where :math:`f(x\_S, x\_C)` is the response function (:term:`predict`, :term:`predict\_proba` or :term:`decision\_function`) for a given sample whose values are defined by :math:`x\_S` for the features in :math:`X\_S`, and by :math:`x\_C` for the features in :math:`X\_C`. Note that :math:`x\_S` and :math:`x\_C` may be tuples. Computing this integral for various values of :math:`x\_S` produces a PDP plot as above. An ICE line is defined as a single :math:`f(x\_{S}, x\_{C}^{(i)})` evaluated at :math:`x\_{S}`. Computation methods =================== There are two main methods to approximate the integral above, namely the `'brute'` and `'recursion'` methods. The `method` parameter controls which method to use. The `'brute'` method is a generic method that works with any estimator. Note that computing ICE plots is only supported with the `'brute'` method. It approximates the above integral by computing an average over the data `X`: .. math:: pd\_{X\_S}(x\_S) \approx \frac{1}{n\_\text{samples}} \sum\_{i=1}^n f(x\_S, x\_C^{(i)}), where :math:`x\_C^{(i)}` is the value of the i-th sample for the features in :math:`X\_C`. For each value of :math:`x\_S`, this method requires a full pass over the dataset `X` which is computationally intensive. Each of the :math:`f(x\_{S}, x\_{C}^{(i)})` corresponds to one ICE line evaluated at :math:`x\_{S}`. Computing this for multiple values of :math:`x\_{S}`, one obtains a full ICE line. As one can see, the average of the ICE lines corresponds to the partial dependence line. The `'recursion'` method is faster than the `'brute'` method, but it is only supported for PDP plots by some tree-based estimators. It is computed as follows. For a given point :math:`x\_S`, a weighted tree traversal is performed: if a split node involves an input feature of interest, the corresponding left or right branch is followed; otherwise both branches are followed, each branch being weighted by the fraction of training samples that entered that branch. Finally, the partial dependence is given by a weighted average of all the visited leaves' values. With the `'brute'` method, the parameter `X` is used both for generating the grid of values :math:`x\_S` and the complement feature values :math:`x\_C`. However with the 'recursion' method, `X` is only used for the grid values: implicitly, the :math:`x\_C` values are those of the training data. By default, the `'recursion'` method is used for plotting PDPs on tree-based estimators that support it, and 'brute' is used for the rest. .. \_pdp\_method\_differences: .. note:: While both methods should be close in general, they might differ in some specific settings. The `'brute'` method assumes the existence of the data points :math:`(x\_S, x\_C^{(i)})`. When the features are correlated, such artificial samples may have a very low probability mass. The `'brute'` and `'recursion'` methods will likely disagree regarding the value of the partial dependence, because they will treat these unlikely samples differently. Remember, however, that the primary assumption for interpreting PDPs is that the features should be independent. .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_inspection\_plot\_partial\_dependence.py` .. rubric:: Footnotes ..

.. \_data\_reduction: ===================================== Unsupervised dimensionality reduction ===================================== If your number of features is high, it may be useful to reduce it with an unsupervised step prior to supervised steps. Many of the :ref:`unsupervised-learning` methods implement a ``transform`` method that can be used to reduce the dimensionality.

.. \_random\_projection: ================== Random Projection ================== .. currentmodule:: sklearn.random\_projection The :mod:`sklearn.random\_projection` module implements a simple and computationally efficient way to reduce the dimensionality of the data by trading a controlled amount of accuracy (as additional variance) for faster processing times and smaller model sizes. This module implements two types of unstructured random matrix: :ref:`Gaussian random matrix ` and :ref:`sparse random matrix `. The dimensions and distribution of random projections matrices are controlled so as to preserve the pairwise distances between any two samples of the dataset. Thus random projection is a suitable approximation technique for distance based method. .. rubric:: References \* Sanjoy Dasgupta. 2000. `Experiments with random projection. `\_ In Proceedings of the Sixteenth conference on Uncertainty in artificial intelligence (UAI'00), Craig Boutilier and Moisés Goldszmidt (Eds.).

The lemma states that a small set of points in a high-dimensional space can be embedded into a space of much lower dimension in such a way that distances between the points are nearly preserved. The map used for the embedding is at least Lipschitz, and can even be taken to be an orthogonal projection. Knowing only the number of samples, the :func:`johnson\_lindenstrauss\_min\_dim` estimates conservatively the minimal size of the random subspace to guarantee a bounded distortion introduced by the random projection:: >>> from sklearn.random\_projection import johnson\_lindenstrauss\_min\_dim >>> johnson\_lindenstrauss\_min\_dim(n\_samples=1e6, eps=0.5) np.int64(663) >>> johnson\_lindenstrauss\_min\_dim(n\_samples=1e6, eps=[0.5, 0.1, 0.01]) array([ 663, 11841, 1112658]) >>> johnson\_lindenstrauss\_min\_dim(n\_samples=[1e4, 1e5, 1e6], eps=0.1) array([ 7894, 9868, 11841]) .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/miscellaneous/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_johnson\_lindenstrauss\_bound\_001.png :target: ../auto\_examples/miscellaneous/plot\_johnson\_lindenstrauss\_bound.html :scale: 75 :align: center .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/miscellaneous/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_johnson\_lindenstrauss\_bound\_002.png :target: ../auto\_examples/miscellaneous/plot\_johnson\_lindenstrauss\_bound.html :scale: 75 :align: center .. rubric:: Examples \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_miscellaneous\_plot\_johnson\_lindenstrauss\_bound.py` for a theoretical explication on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma and an empirical validation using sparse random matrices. .. rubric:: References \* Sanjoy Dasgupta and Anupam Gupta, 1999. `An elementary proof of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma. `\_ .. \_gaussian\_random\_matrix: Gaussian random projection ========================== The :class:`GaussianRandomProjection` reduces the dimensionality by projecting the original input space on a randomly generated matrix where components are drawn from the following distribution :math:`N(0, \frac{1}{n\_{components}})`.

When set to True, after creating the random ``components\_`` matrix during fitting, the transformer computes the pseudo-inverse of this matrix and stores it as ``inverse\_components\_``. The ``inverse\_components\_`` matrix has shape :math:`n\_{features} \times n\_{components}`, and it is always a dense matrix, regardless of whether the components matrix is sparse or dense. So depending on the number of features and components, it may use a lot of memory. When the ``inverse\_transform`` method is called, it computes the product of the input ``X`` and the transpose of the inverse components. If the inverse components have been computed during fit, they are reused at each call to ``inverse\_transform``. Otherwise they are recomputed each time, which can be costly. The result is always dense, even if ``X`` is sparse. Here is a small code example which illustrates how to use the inverse transform feature:: >>> import numpy as np >>> from sklearn.random\_projection import SparseRandomProjection >>> X = np.random.rand(100, 10000) >>> transformer = SparseRandomProjection( ... compute\_inverse\_components=True ... ) ... >>> X\_new = transformer.fit\_transform(X) >>> X\_new.shape (100, 3947) >>> X\_new\_inversed = transformer.inverse\_transform(X\_new) >>> X\_new\_inversed.shape (100, 10000) >>> X\_new\_again = transformer.transform(X\_new\_inversed) >>> np.allclose(X\_new, X\_new\_again) True | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/random_projection.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_calibration: ======================= Probability calibration ======================= .. currentmodule:: sklearn.calibration When performing classification you often want not only to predict the class label, but also obtain a probability of the respective label. This probability gives you some kind of confidence on the prediction. Some models can give you poor estimates of the class probabilities and some even do not support probability prediction (e.g., some instances of :class:`~sklearn.linear\_model.SGDClassifier`). The calibration module allows you to better calibrate the probabilities of a given model, or to add support for probability prediction. Well calibrated classifiers are probabilistic classifiers for which the output of the :term:`predict\_proba` method can be directly interpreted as a confidence level. For instance, a well calibrated (binary) classifier should classify the samples such that among the samples to which it gave a :term:`predict\_proba` value close to, say, 0.8, approximately 80% actually belong to the positive class. Before we show how to re-calibrate a classifier, we first need a way to detect how good a classifier is calibrated. .. note:: Strictly proper scoring rules for probabilistic predictions like :func:`sklearn.metrics.brier\_score\_loss` and :func:`sklearn.metrics.log\_loss` assess calibration (reliability) and discriminative power (resolution) of a model, as well as the randomness of the data (uncertainty) at the same time. This follows from the well-known Brier score decomposition of Murphy [1]\_. As it is not clear which term dominates, the score is of limited use for assessing calibration alone (unless one computes each term of the decomposition). A lower Brier loss, for instance, does not necessarily mean a better calibrated model, it could also mean a worse calibrated model with much more discriminatory power, e.g. using many more features. .. \_calibration\_curve: Calibration curves ------------------ Calibration curves, also referred to as \*reliability diagrams\* (Wilks 1995 [2]\_), compare how well the probabilistic predictions of a binary classifier are calibrated. It plots the frequency of the positive label (to be more precise, an estimation of the \*conditional event probability\* :math:`P(Y=1|\text{predict\_proba})`) on the y-axis against the predicted probability :term:`predict\_proba` of a model on the x-axis. The tricky part is to get values for the y-axis. In scikit-learn, this is accomplished by binning the predictions such that the x-axis represents the average predicted probability in each bin. The y-axis is then the \*fraction of positives\* given the predictions of that bin, i.e. the proportion of samples whose class is the positive class (in each bin). The top calibration curve plot is created with :func:`CalibrationDisplay.from\_estimator`, which uses :func:`calibration\_curve` to calculate the per bin average predicted probabilities and fraction of positives. :func:`CalibrationDisplay.from\_estimator` takes as input a fitted classifier, which is used to calculate the predicted probabilities. The classifier thus must have :term:`predict\_proba` method. For the few classifiers that do not have a :term:`predict\_proba` method, it is possible to use :class:`CalibratedClassifierCV` to calibrate the classifier outputs to probabilities. The bottom histogram gives some insight into the behavior of each classifier by showing the number of samples in each predicted probability bin. .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/calibration/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_compare\_calibration\_001.png :target: ../auto\_examples/calibration/plot\_compare\_calibration.html :align: center .. currentmodule:: sklearn.linear\_model :class:`LogisticRegression` is more likely to return well calibrated predictions by itself as it has a canonical link function for its loss, i.e. the logit-link for the :ref:`log\_loss`. In the unpenalized case, this leads to the so-called \*\*balance property\*\*, see [8]\_ and :ref:`Logistic\_regression`.

consistent with the :class:`LogisticRegression` model (the model is 'well specified'), and the value of the regularization parameter `C` is tuned to be appropriate (neither too strong nor too low). As a consequence, this model returns accurate predictions from its `predict\_proba` method. In contrast to that, the other shown models return biased probabilities; with different biases per model. .. currentmodule:: sklearn.naive\_bayes :class:`GaussianNB` (Naive Bayes) tends to push probabilities to 0 or 1 (note the counts in the histograms). This is mainly because it makes the assumption that features are conditionally independent given the class, which is not the case in this dataset which contains 2 redundant features. .. currentmodule:: sklearn.ensemble :class:`RandomForestClassifier` shows the opposite behavior: the histograms show peaks at probabilities approximately 0.2 and 0.9, while probabilities close to 0 or 1 are very rare. An explanation for this is given by Niculescu-Mizil and Caruana [3]\_: "Methods such as bagging and random forests that average predictions from a base set of models can have difficulty making predictions near 0 and 1 because variance in the underlying base models will bias predictions that should be near zero or one away from these values. Because predictions are restricted to the interval [0,1], errors caused by variance tend to be one-sided near zero and one. For example, if a model should predict :math:`p = 0` for a case, the only way bagging can achieve this is if all bagged trees predict zero. If we add noise to the trees that bagging is averaging over, this noise will cause some trees to predict values larger than 0 for this case, thus moving the average prediction of the bagged ensemble away from 0. We observe this effect most strongly with random forests because the base-level trees trained with random forests have relatively high variance due to feature subsetting." As a result, the calibration curve shows a characteristic sigmoid shape, indicating that the classifier could trust its "intuition" more and return probabilities closer to 0 or 1 typically. .. currentmodule:: sklearn.svm :class:`LinearSVC` (SVC) shows an even more sigmoid curve than the random forest, which is typical for maximum-margin methods (compare Niculescu-Mizil and Caruana [3]\_), which focus on difficult to classify samples that are close to the decision boundary (the support vectors). Calibrating a classifier ------------------------ .. currentmodule:: sklearn.calibration Calibrating a classifier consists of fitting a regressor (called a \*calibrator\*) that maps the output of the classifier (as given by :term:`decision\_function` or :term:`predict\_proba`) to a calibrated probability in [0, 1]. Denoting the output of the classifier for a given sample by :math:`f\_i`, the calibrator tries to predict the conditional event probability :math:`P(y\_i = 1 | f\_i)`. Ideally, the calibrator is fit on a dataset independent of the training data used to fit the classifier in the first place. This is because performance of the classifier on its training data would be better than for novel data. Using the classifier output of training data to fit the calibrator would thus result in a biased calibrator that maps to probabilities closer to 0 and 1 than it should. Usage ----- The :class:`CalibratedClassifierCV` class is used to calibrate a classifier. :class:`CalibratedClassifierCV` uses a cross-validation approach to ensure unbiased data is always used to fit the calibrator. The data is split into :math:`k` `(train\_set, test\_set)` couples (as determined by `cv`). When `ensemble=True` (default), the following procedure is repeated independently for each cross-validation split: 1. a clone of `base\_estimator` is trained on the train subset 2. the trained `base\_estimator` makes predictions on the test subset 3. the predictions are used to fit a calibrator (either a sigmoid or isotonic regressor) (when the data | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/calibration.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

(default), the following procedure is repeated independently for each cross-validation split: 1. a clone of `base\_estimator` is trained on the train subset 2. the trained `base\_estimator` makes predictions on the test subset 3. the predictions are used to fit a calibrator (either a sigmoid or isotonic regressor) (when the data is multiclass, a calibrator is fit for every class) This results in an ensemble of :math:`k` `(classifier, calibrator)` couples where each calibrator maps the output of its corresponding classifier into [0, 1]. Each couple is exposed in the `calibrated\_classifiers\_` attribute, where each entry is a calibrated classifier with a :term:`predict\_proba` method that outputs calibrated probabilities. The output of :term:`predict\_proba` for the main :class:`CalibratedClassifierCV` instance corresponds to the average of the predicted probabilities of the :math:`k` estimators in the `calibrated\_classifiers\_` list. The output of :term:`predict` is the class that has the highest probability. It is important to choose `cv` carefully when using `ensemble=True`. All classes should be present in both train and test subsets for every split. When a class is absent in the train subset, the predicted probability for that class will default to 0 for the `(classifier, calibrator)` couple of that split. This skews the :term:`predict\_proba` as it averages across all couples. When a class is absent in the test subset, the calibrator for that class (within the `(classifier, calibrator)` couple of that split) is fit on data with no positive class. This results in ineffective calibration. When `ensemble=False`, cross-validation is used to obtain 'unbiased' predictions for all the data, via :func:`~sklearn.model\_selection.cross\_val\_predict`. These unbiased predictions are then used to train the calibrator. The attribute `calibrated\_classifiers\_` consists of only one `(classifier, calibrator)` couple where the classifier is the `base\_estimator` trained on all the data. In this case the output of :term:`predict\_proba` for :class:`CalibratedClassifierCV` is the predicted probabilities obtained from the single `(classifier, calibrator)` couple. The main advantage of `ensemble=True` is to benefit from the traditional ensembling effect (similar to :ref:`bagging`). The resulting ensemble should both be well calibrated and slightly more accurate than with `ensemble=False`. The main advantage of using `ensemble=False` is computational: it reduces the overall fit time by training only a single base classifier and calibrator pair, decreases the final model size and increases prediction speed. Alternatively an already fitted classifier can be calibrated by using a :class:`~sklearn.frozen.FrozenEstimator` as ``CalibratedClassifierCV(estimator=FrozenEstimator(estimator))``. It is up to the user to make sure that the data used for fitting the classifier is disjoint from the data used for fitting the regressor. :class:`CalibratedClassifierCV` supports the use of two regression techniques for calibration via the `method` parameter: `"sigmoid"` and `"isotonic"`. .. \_sigmoid\_regressor: Sigmoid ^^^^^^^ The sigmoid regressor, `method="sigmoid"` is based on Platt's logistic model [4]\_: .. math:: p(y\_i = 1 | f\_i) = \frac{1}{1 + \exp(A f\_i + B)} \,, where :math:`y\_i` is the true label of sample :math:`i` and :math:`f\_i` is the output of the un-calibrated classifier for sample :math:`i`. :math:`A` and :math:`B` are real numbers to be determined when fitting the regressor via maximum likelihood. The sigmoid method assumes the :ref:`calibration curve ` can be corrected by applying a sigmoid function to the raw predictions. This assumption has been empirically justified in the case of :ref:`svm` with common kernel functions on various benchmark datasets in section 2.1 of Platt 1999 [4]\_ but does not necessarily hold in general. Additionally, the logistic model works best if the calibration error is symmetrical, meaning the classifier output for each binary class is normally distributed with the same variance [7]\_. This can be a problem for highly imbalanced classification problems, where outputs do not have equal variance.

works best if the calibration error is symmetrical, meaning the classifier output for each binary class is normally distributed with the same variance [7]\_. This can be a problem for highly imbalanced classification problems, where outputs do not have equal variance. In general this method is most effective for small sample sizes or when the un-calibrated model is under-confident and has similar calibration errors for both high and low outputs. Isotonic ^^^^^^^^ The `method="isotonic"` fits a non-parametric isotonic regressor, which outputs a step-wise non-decreasing function, see :mod:`sklearn.isotonic`. It minimizes: .. math:: \sum\_{i=1}^{n} (y\_i - \hat{f}\_i)^2 subject to :math:`\hat{f}\_i \geq \hat{f}\_j` whenever :math:`f\_i \geq f\_j`. :math:`y\_i` is the true label of sample :math:`i` and :math:`\hat{f}\_i` is the output of the calibrated classifier for sample :math:`i` (i.e., the calibrated probability). This method is more general when compared to `'sigmoid'` as the only restriction is that the mapping function is monotonically increasing. It is thus more powerful as it can correct any monotonic distortion of the un-calibrated model. However, it is more prone to overfitting, especially on small datasets [6]\_. Overall, `'isotonic'` will perform as well as or better than `'sigmoid'` when there is enough data (greater than ~ 1000 samples) to avoid overfitting [3]\_. .. note:: Impact on ranking metrics like AUC It is generally expected that calibration does not affect ranking metrics such as ROC-AUC. However, these metrics might differ after calibration when using `method="isotonic"` since isotonic regression introduces ties in the predicted probabilities. This can be seen as within the uncertainty of the model predictions. In case, you strictly want to keep the ranking and thus AUC scores, use `method="sigmoid"` which is a strictly monotonic transformation and thus keeps the ranking. Multiclass support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Both isotonic and sigmoid regressors only support 1-dimensional data (e.g., binary classification output) but are extended for multiclass classification if the `base\_estimator` supports multiclass predictions. For multiclass predictions, :class:`CalibratedClassifierCV` calibrates for each class separately in a :ref:`ovr\_classification` fashion [5]\_. When predicting probabilities, the calibrated probabilities for each class are predicted separately. As those probabilities do not necessarily sum to one, a postprocessing is performed to normalize them. On the other hand, temperature scaling naturally supports multiclass predictions by working with logits and finally applying the softmax function. Temperature Scaling ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For a multi-class classification problem with :math:`n` classes, temperature scaling [9]\_, `method="temperature"`, produces class probabilities by modifying the softmax function with a temperature parameter :math:`T`: .. math:: \mathrm{softmax}\left(\frac{z}{T}\right) \,, where, for a given sample, :math:`z` is the vector of logits for each class as predicted by the estimator to be calibrated. In terms of scikit-learn's API, this corresponds to the output of :term:`decision\_function` or to the logarithm of :term:`predict\_proba`. Probabilities are converted to logits by first adding a tiny positive constant to avoid numerical issues with logarithm of zero, and then applying the natural logarithm. The parameter :math:`T` is learned by minimizing :func:`~sklearn.metrics.log\_loss`, i.e. cross-entropy loss, on a hold-out (calibration) set. Note that :math:`T` does not affect the location of the maximum in the softmax output. Therefore, temperature scaling does not alter the accuracy of the calibrating estimator. The main advantage of temperature scaling over other calibration methods is that it provides a natural way to obtain (better) calibrated multi-class probabilities with just one free parameter in contrast to using a "One-vs-Rest" scheme that adds more parameters for each single class. .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_calibration\_plot\_calibration\_curve.py` \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_calibration\_plot\_calibration\_multiclass.py` \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_calibration\_plot\_calibration.py` \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_calibration\_plot\_compare\_calibration.py` .. rubric:: References ..

.. \_permutation\_importance: Permutation feature importance ============================== .. currentmodule:: sklearn.inspection Permutation feature importance is a model inspection technique that measures the contribution of each feature to a :term:`fitted` model's statistical performance on a given tabular dataset. This technique is particularly useful for non-linear or opaque :term:`estimators`, and involves randomly shuffling the values of a single feature and observing the resulting degradation of the model's score [1]\_. By breaking the relationship between the feature and the target, we determine how much the model relies on such particular feature. In the following figures, we observe the effect of permuting features on the correlation between the feature and the target and consequently on the model's statistical performance. .. image:: ../images/permuted\_predictive\_feature.png :align: center .. image:: ../images/permuted\_non\_predictive\_feature.png :align: center On the top figure, we observe that permuting a predictive feature breaks the correlation between the feature and the target, and consequently the model's statistical performance decreases. On the bottom figure, we observe that permuting a non-predictive feature does not significantly degrade the model's statistical performance. One key advantage of permutation feature importance is that it is model-agnostic, i.e. it can be applied to any fitted estimator. Moreover, it can be calculated multiple times with different permutations of the feature, further providing a measure of the variance in the estimated feature importances for the specific trained model. The figure below shows the permutation feature importance of a :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier` trained on an augmented version of the titanic dataset that contains a `random\_cat` and a `random\_num` features, i.e. a categorical and a numerical feature that are not correlated in any way with the target variable: .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/inspection/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_permutation\_importance\_002.png :target: ../auto\_examples/inspection/plot\_permutation\_importance.html :align: center :scale: 70 .. warning:: Features that are deemed of \*\*low importance for a bad model\*\* (low cross-validation score) could be \*\*very important for a good model\*\*. Therefore it is always important to evaluate the predictive power of a model using a held-out set (or better with cross-validation) prior to computing importances. Permutation importance does not reflect the intrinsic predictive value of a feature by itself but \*\*how important this feature is for a particular model\*\*. The :func:`permutation\_importance` function calculates the feature importance of :term:`estimators` for a given dataset. The ``n\_repeats`` parameter sets the number of times a feature is randomly shuffled and returns a sample of feature importances. Let's consider the following trained regression model:: >>> from sklearn.datasets import load\_diabetes >>> from sklearn.model\_selection import train\_test\_split >>> from sklearn.linear\_model import Ridge >>> diabetes = load\_diabetes() >>> X\_train, X\_val, y\_train, y\_val = train\_test\_split( ... diabetes.data, diabetes.target, random\_state=0) ... >>> model = Ridge(alpha=1e-2).fit(X\_train, y\_train) >>> model.score(X\_val, y\_val) 0.356... Its validation performance, measured via the :math:`R^2` score, is significantly larger than the chance level. This makes it possible to use the :func:`permutation\_importance` function to probe which features are most predictive:: >>> from sklearn.inspection import permutation\_importance >>> r = permutation\_importance(model, X\_val, y\_val, ... n\_repeats=30, ... random\_state=0) ... >>> for i in r.importances\_mean.argsort()[::-1]: ... if r.importances\_mean[i] - 2 \* r.importances\_std[i] > 0: ... print(f"{diabetes.feature\_names[i]:<8}" ... f"{r.importances\_mean[i]:.3f}" ... f" +/- {r.importances\_std[i]:.3f}") ... s5 0.204 +/- 0.050 bmi 0.176 +/- 0.048 bp 0.088 +/- 0.033 sex 0.056 +/- 0.023 Note that the importance values for the top features represent a large fraction of the reference score of 0.356. Permutation importances can be computed either on the training set or on a held-out testing or validation set. Using a held-out set makes it possible to highlight which features contribute the most to the generalization power of the inspected model. Features that are important on the training set but not on the held-out set might cause the model to overfit.

set. Using a held-out set makes it possible to highlight which features contribute the most to the generalization power of the inspected model. Features that are important on the training set but not on the held-out set might cause the model to overfit. The permutation feature importance depends on the score function that is specified with the `scoring` argument. This argument accepts multiple scorers, which is more computationally efficient than sequentially calling :func:`permutation\_importance` several times with a different scorer, as it reuses model predictions. .. dropdown:: Example of permutation feature importance using multiple scorers In the example below we use a list of metrics, but more input formats are possible, as documented in :ref:`multimetric\_scoring`. >>> scoring = ['r2', 'neg\_mean\_absolute\_percentage\_error', 'neg\_mean\_squared\_error'] >>> r\_multi = permutation\_importance( ... model, X\_val, y\_val, n\_repeats=30, random\_state=0, scoring=scoring) ... >>> for metric in r\_multi: ... print(f"{metric}") ... r = r\_multi[metric] ... for i in r.importances\_mean.argsort()[::-1]: ... if r.importances\_mean[i] - 2 \* r.importances\_std[i] > 0: ... print(f" {diabetes.feature\_names[i]:<8}" ... f"{r.importances\_mean[i]:.3f}" ... f" +/- {r.importances\_std[i]:.3f}") ... r2 s5 0.204 +/- 0.050 bmi 0.176 +/- 0.048 bp 0.088 +/- 0.033 sex 0.056 +/- 0.023 neg\_mean\_absolute\_percentage\_error s5 0.081 +/- 0.020 bmi 0.064 +/- 0.015 bp 0.029 +/- 0.010 neg\_mean\_squared\_error s5 1013.866 +/- 246.445 bmi 872.726 +/- 240.298 bp 438.663 +/- 163.022 sex 277.376 +/- 115.123 The ranking of the features is approximately the same for different metrics even if the scales of the importance values are very different. However, this is not guaranteed and different metrics might lead to significantly different feature importances, in particular for models trained for imbalanced classification problems, for which \*\*the choice of the classification metric can be critical\*\*. Outline of the permutation importance algorithm ----------------------------------------------- - Inputs: fitted predictive model :math:`m`, tabular dataset (training or validation) :math:`D`. - Compute the reference score :math:`s` of the model :math:`m` on data :math:`D` (for instance the accuracy for a classifier or the :math:`R^2` for a regressor). - For each feature :math:`j` (column of :math:`D`): - For each repetition :math:`k` in :math:`{1, ..., K}`: - Randomly shuffle column :math:`j` of dataset :math:`D` to generate a corrupted version of the data named :math:`\tilde{D}\_{k,j}`. - Compute the score :math:`s\_{k,j}` of model :math:`m` on corrupted data :math:`\tilde{D}\_{k,j}`. - Compute importance :math:`i\_j` for feature :math:`f\_j` defined as: .. math:: i\_j = s - \frac{1}{K} \sum\_{k=1}^{K} s\_{k,j} Relation to impurity-based importance in trees ---------------------------------------------- Tree-based models provide an alternative measure of :ref:`feature importances based on the mean decrease in impurity ` (MDI). Impurity is quantified by the splitting criterion of the decision trees (Gini, Log Loss or Mean Squared Error). However, this method can give high importance to features that may not be predictive on unseen data when the model is overfitting. Permutation-based feature importance, on the other hand, avoids this issue, since it can be computed on unseen data. Furthermore, impurity-based feature importance for trees is \*\*strongly biased\*\* and \*\*favor high cardinality features\*\* (typically numerical features) over low cardinality features such as binary features or categorical variables with a small number of possible categories. Permutation-based feature importances do not exhibit such a bias. Additionally, the permutation feature importance may be computed with any performance metric on the model predictions and can be used to analyze any model class (not just tree-based models).

Misleading values on strongly correlated features ------------------------------------------------- When two features are correlated and one of the features is permuted, the model still has access to the latter through its correlated feature.

.. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature\_selection .. \_feature\_selection: ================= Feature selection ================= The classes in the :mod:`sklearn.feature\_selection` module can be used for feature selection/dimensionality reduction on sample sets, either to improve estimators' accuracy scores or to boost their performance on very high-dimensional datasets. .. \_variance\_threshold: Removing features with low variance =================================== :class:`VarianceThreshold` is a simple baseline approach to feature selection. It removes all features whose variance doesn't meet some threshold. By default, it removes all zero-variance features, i.e. features that have the same value in all samples. As an example, suppose that we have a dataset with boolean features, and we want to remove all features that are either one or zero (on or off) in more than 80% of the samples. Boolean features are Bernoulli random variables, and the variance of such variables is given by .. math:: \mathrm{Var}[X] = p(1 - p) so we can select using the threshold ``.8 \* (1 - .8)``:: >>> from sklearn.feature\_selection import VarianceThreshold >>> X = [[0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1]] >>> sel = VarianceThreshold(threshold=(.8 \* (1 - .8))) >>> sel.fit\_transform(X) array([[0, 1], [1, 0], [0, 0], [1, 1], [1, 0], [1, 1]]) As expected, ``VarianceThreshold`` has removed the first column, which has a probability :math:`p = 5/6 > .8` of containing a zero. .. \_univariate\_feature\_selection: Univariate feature selection ============================ Univariate feature selection works by selecting the best features based on univariate statistical tests. It can be seen as a preprocessing step to an estimator. Scikit-learn exposes feature selection routines as objects that implement the ``transform`` method: \* :class:`SelectKBest` removes all but the :math:`k` highest scoring features \* :class:`SelectPercentile` removes all but a user-specified highest scoring percentage of features \* using common univariate statistical tests for each feature: false positive rate :class:`SelectFpr`, false discovery rate :class:`SelectFdr`, or family wise error :class:`SelectFwe`. \* :class:`GenericUnivariateSelect` allows to perform univariate feature selection with a configurable strategy. This allows to select the best univariate selection strategy with hyper-parameter search estimator. For instance, we can use an F-test to retrieve the two best features for a dataset as follows: >>> from sklearn.datasets import load\_iris >>> from sklearn.feature\_selection import SelectKBest >>> from sklearn.feature\_selection import f\_classif >>> X, y = load\_iris(return\_X\_y=True) >>> X.shape (150, 4) >>> X\_new = SelectKBest(f\_classif, k=2).fit\_transform(X, y) >>> X\_new.shape (150, 2) These objects take as input a scoring function that returns univariate scores and p-values (or only scores for :class:`SelectKBest` and :class:`SelectPercentile`): \* For regression: :func:`r\_regression`, :func:`f\_regression`, :func:`mutual\_info\_regression` \* For classification: :func:`chi2`, :func:`f\_classif`, :func:`mutual\_info\_classif` The methods based on F-test estimate the degree of linear dependency between two random variables. On the other hand, mutual information methods can capture any kind of statistical dependency, but being nonparametric, they require more samples for accurate estimation. Note that the :math:`\chi^2`-test should only be applied to non-negative features, such as frequencies. .. topic:: Feature selection with sparse data If you use sparse data (i.e. data represented as sparse matrices), :func:`chi2`, :func:`mutual\_info\_regression`, :func:`mutual\_info\_classif` will deal with the data without making it dense. .. warning:: Beware not to use a regression scoring function with a classification problem, you will get useless results. .. note:: The :class:`SelectPercentile` and :class:`SelectKBest` support unsupervised feature selection as well. One needs to provide a `score\_func` where `y=None`. The `score\_func` should use internally `X` to compute the scores. .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_feature\_selection\_plot\_feature\_selection.py` \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_feature\_selection\_plot\_f\_test\_vs\_mi.py` .. \_rfe: Recursive feature elimination ============================= Given an external estimator that assigns weights to features (e.g., the coefficients of a linear model), the goal of recursive feature elimination (:class:`RFE`) is to select features by recursively considering smaller and smaller sets of features. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_selection.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

First, the estimator is trained on the initial set of features and the importance of each feature is obtained either through any specific attribute (such as ``coef\_``, ``feature\_importances\_``) or callable. Then, the least important features are pruned from the current set of features. That procedure is recursively repeated on the pruned set until the desired number of features to select is eventually reached. :class:`RFECV` performs RFE in a cross-validation loop to find the optimal number of features. In more details, the number of features selected is tuned automatically by fitting an :class:`RFE` selector on the different cross-validation splits (provided by the `cv` parameter). The performance of the :class:`RFE` selector is evaluated using `scorer` for different numbers of selected features and aggregated together. Finally, the scores are averaged across folds and the number of features selected is set to the number of features that maximize the cross-validation score. .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_feature\_selection\_plot\_rfe\_digits.py`: A recursive feature elimination example showing the relevance of pixels in a digit classification task. \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_feature\_selection\_plot\_rfe\_with\_cross\_validation.py`: A recursive feature elimination example with automatic tuning of the number of features selected with cross-validation. .. \_select\_from\_model: Feature selection using SelectFromModel ======================================= :class:`SelectFromModel` is a meta-transformer that can be used alongside any estimator that assigns importance to each feature through a specific attribute (such as ``coef\_``, ``feature\_importances\_``) or via an `importance\_getter` callable after fitting. The features are considered unimportant and removed if the corresponding importance of the feature values is below the provided ``threshold`` parameter. Apart from specifying the threshold numerically, there are built-in heuristics for finding a threshold using a string argument. Available heuristics are "mean", "median" and float multiples of these like "0.1\*mean". In combination with the `threshold` criteria, one can use the `max\_features` parameter to set a limit on the number of features to select. For examples on how it is to be used refer to the sections below. .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_feature\_selection\_plot\_select\_from\_model\_diabetes.py` .. \_l1\_feature\_selection: L1-based feature selection -------------------------- .. currentmodule:: sklearn :ref:`Linear models ` penalized with the L1 norm have sparse solutions: many of their estimated coefficients are zero. When the goal is to reduce the dimensionality of the data to use with another classifier, they can be used along with :class:`~feature\_selection.SelectFromModel` to select the non-zero coefficients. In particular, sparse estimators useful for this purpose are the :class:`~linear\_model.Lasso` for regression, and of :class:`~linear\_model.LogisticRegression` and :class:`~svm.LinearSVC` for classification:: >>> from sklearn.svm import LinearSVC >>> from sklearn.datasets import load\_iris >>> from sklearn.feature\_selection import SelectFromModel >>> X, y = load\_iris(return\_X\_y=True) >>> X.shape (150, 4) >>> lsvc = LinearSVC(C=0.01, penalty="l1", dual=False).fit(X, y) >>> model = SelectFromModel(lsvc, prefit=True) >>> X\_new = model.transform(X) >>> X\_new.shape (150, 3) With SVMs and logistic regression, the parameter C controls the sparsity: the smaller C the fewer features selected. With Lasso, the higher the alpha parameter, the fewer features selected. .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_linear\_model\_plot\_lasso\_dense\_vs\_sparse\_data.py`. .. \_compressive\_sensing: .. dropdown:: L1-recovery and compressive sensing For a good choice of alpha, the :ref:`lasso` can fully recover the exact set of non-zero variables using only few observations, provided certain specific conditions are met. In particular, the number of samples should be "sufficiently large", or L1 models will perform at random, where "sufficiently large" depends on the number of non-zero coefficients, the logarithm of the number of features, the amount of noise, the smallest absolute value of non-zero coefficients, | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_selection.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

certain specific conditions are met. In particular, the number of samples should be "sufficiently large", or L1 models will perform at random, where "sufficiently large" depends on the number of non-zero coefficients, the logarithm of the number of features, the amount of noise, the smallest absolute value of non-zero coefficients, and the structure of the design matrix X. In addition, the design matrix must display certain specific properties, such as not being too correlated. On the use of Lasso for sparse signal recovery, see this example on compressive sensing: :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_applications\_plot\_tomography\_l1\_reconstruction.py`. There is no general rule to select an alpha parameter for recovery of non-zero coefficients. It can be set by cross-validation (:class:`~sklearn.linear\_model.LassoCV` or :class:`~sklearn.linear\_model.LassoLarsCV`), though this may lead to under-penalized models: including a small number of non-relevant variables is not detrimental to prediction score. BIC (:class:`~sklearn.linear\_model.LassoLarsIC`) tends, on the opposite, to set high values of alpha. .. rubric:: References Richard G.

SFS can be either forward or backward: Forward-SFS is a greedy procedure that iteratively finds the best new feature to add to the set of selected features. Concretely, we initially start with zero features and find the one feature that maximizes a cross-validated score when an estimator is trained on this single feature. Once that first feature is selected, we repeat the procedure by adding a new feature to the set of selected features. The procedure stops when the desired number of selected features is reached, as determined by the `n\_features\_to\_select` parameter. Backward-SFS follows the same idea but works in the opposite direction: instead of starting with no features and greedily adding features, we start with \*all\* the features and greedily \*remove\* features from the set. The `direction` parameter controls whether forward or backward SFS is used. .. dropdown:: Details on Sequential Feature Selection In general, forward and backward selection do not yield equivalent results. Also, one may be much faster than the other depending on the requested number of selected features: if we have 10 features and ask for 7 selected features, forward selection would need to perform 7 iterations while backward selection would only need to perform 3. SFS differs from :class:`~sklearn.feature\_selection.RFE` and :class:`~sklearn.feature\_selection.SelectFromModel` in that it does not require the underlying model to expose a `coef\_` or `feature\_importances\_` attribute. It may however be slower considering that more models need to be evaluated, compared to the other approaches. For example in backward selection, the iteration going from `m` features to `m - 1` features using k-fold cross-validation requires fitting `m \* k` models, while :class:`~sklearn.feature\_selection.RFE` would require only a single fit, and :class:`~sklearn.feature\_selection.SelectFromModel` always just does a single fit and requires no iterations. .. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_selection.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

The recommended way to do this in scikit-learn is to use a :class:`~pipeline.Pipeline`:: clf = Pipeline([ ('feature\_selection', SelectFromModel(LinearSVC(penalty="l1"))), ('classification', RandomForestClassifier()) ]) clf.fit(X, y) In this snippet we make use of a :class:`~svm.LinearSVC` coupled with :class:`~feature\_selection.SelectFromModel` to evaluate feature importances and select the most relevant features. Then, a :class:`~ensemble.RandomForestClassifier` is trained on the transformed output, i.e. using only relevant features. You can perform similar operations with the other feature selection methods and also classifiers that provide a way to evaluate feature importances of course. See the :class:`~pipeline.Pipeline` examples for more details. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_selection.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_outlier\_detection: =================================================== Novelty and Outlier Detection =================================================== .. currentmodule:: sklearn Many applications require being able to decide whether a new observation belongs to the same distribution as existing observations (it is an \*inlier\*), or should be considered as different (it is an \*outlier\*). Often, this ability is used to clean real data sets. Two important distinctions must be made: :outlier detection: The training data contains outliers which are defined as observations that are far from the others. Outlier detection estimators thus try to fit the regions where the training data is the most concentrated, ignoring the deviant observations. :novelty detection: The training data is not polluted by outliers and we are interested in detecting whether a \*\*new\*\* observation is an outlier. In this context an outlier is also called a novelty. Outlier detection and novelty detection are both used for anomaly detection, where one is interested in detecting abnormal or unusual observations. Outlier detection is then also known as unsupervised anomaly detection and novelty detection as semi-supervised anomaly detection. In the context of outlier detection, the outliers/anomalies cannot form a dense cluster as available estimators assume that the outliers/anomalies are located in low density regions. On the contrary, in the context of novelty detection, novelties/anomalies can form a dense cluster as long as they are in a low density region of the training data, considered as normal in this context. The scikit-learn project provides a set of machine learning tools that can be used both for novelty or outlier detection. This strategy is implemented with objects learning in an unsupervised way from the data:: estimator.fit(X\_train) new observations can then be sorted as inliers or outliers with a ``predict`` method:: estimator.predict(X\_test) Inliers are labeled 1, while outliers are labeled -1. The predict method makes use of a threshold on the raw scoring function computed by the estimator. This scoring function is accessible through the ``score\_samples`` method, while the threshold can be controlled by the ``contamination`` parameter. The ``decision\_function`` method is also defined from the scoring function, in such a way that negative values are outliers and non-negative ones are inliers:: estimator.decision\_function(X\_test) Note that :class:`neighbors.LocalOutlierFactor` does not support ``predict``, ``decision\_function`` and ``score\_samples`` methods by default but only a ``fit\_predict`` method, as this estimator was originally meant to be applied for outlier detection. The scores of abnormality of the training samples are accessible through the ``negative\_outlier\_factor\_`` attribute. If you really want to use :class:`neighbors.LocalOutlierFactor` for novelty detection, i.e. predict labels or compute the score of abnormality of new unseen data, you can instantiate the estimator with the ``novelty`` parameter set to ``True`` before fitting the estimator. In this case, ``fit\_predict`` is not available. .. warning:: \*\*Novelty detection with Local Outlier Factor\*\* When ``novelty`` is set to ``True`` be aware that you must only use ``predict``, ``decision\_function`` and ``score\_samples`` on new unseen data and not on the training samples as this would lead to wrong results. I.e., the result of ``predict`` will not be the same as ``fit\_predict``. The scores of abnormality of the training samples are always accessible through the ``negative\_outlier\_factor\_`` attribute. The behavior of :class:`neighbors.LocalOutlierFactor` is summarized in the following table. ============================ ================================ ===================== Method Outlier detection Novelty detection ============================ ================================ ===================== ``fit\_predict`` OK Not available ``predict`` Not available Use only on new data ``decision\_function`` Not available Use only on new data ``score\_samples`` Use ``negative\_outlier\_factor\_`` Use only on new data ``negative\_outlier\_factor\_`` OK OK ============================ ================================ ===================== Overview of outlier detection methods ===================================== A comparison of the outlier detection algorithms in scikit-learn.

This implementation is here used with a kernel approximation technique to obtain results similar to :class:`svm.OneClassSVM` which uses a Gaussian kernel by default. Finally, :class:`covariance.EllipticEnvelope` assumes the data is Gaussian and learns an ellipse. For more details on the different estimators refer to the example :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_miscellaneous\_plot\_anomaly\_comparison.py` and the sections hereunder. .. rubric:: Examples \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_miscellaneous\_plot\_anomaly\_comparison.py` for a comparison of the :class:`svm.OneClassSVM`, the :class:`ensemble.IsolationForest`, the :class:`neighbors.LocalOutlierFactor` and :class:`covariance.EllipticEnvelope`. \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_miscellaneous\_plot\_outlier\_detection\_bench.py` for an example showing how to evaluate outlier detection estimators, the :class:`neighbors.LocalOutlierFactor` and the :class:`ensemble.IsolationForest`, using ROC curves from :class:`metrics.RocCurveDisplay`. Novelty Detection ================= Consider a data set of :math:`n` observations from the same distribution described by :math:`p` features. Consider now that we add one more observation to that data set. Is the new observation so different from the others that we can doubt it is regular? (i.e. does it come from the same distribution?) Or on the contrary, is it so similar to the other that we cannot distinguish it from the original observations? This is the question addressed by the novelty detection tools and methods. In general, it is about to learn a rough, close frontier delimiting the contour of the initial observations distribution, plotted in embedding :math:`p`-dimensional space. Then, if further observations lay within the frontier-delimited subspace, they are considered as coming from the same population as the initial observations. Otherwise, if they lay outside the frontier, we can say that they are abnormal with a given confidence in our assessment. The One-Class SVM has been introduced by Schölkopf et al. for that purpose and implemented in the :ref:`svm` module in the :class:`svm.OneClassSVM` object. It requires the choice of a kernel and a scalar parameter to define a frontier. The RBF kernel is usually chosen although there exists no exact formula or algorithm to set its bandwidth parameter. This is the default in the scikit-learn implementation. The `nu` parameter, also known as the margin of the One-Class SVM, corresponds to the probability of finding a new, but regular, observation outside the frontier. .. rubric:: References \* `Estimating the support of a high-dimensional distribution `\_ Schölkopf, Bernhard, et al.

SVM ---------------------------- An online linear version of the One-Class SVM is implemented in :class:`linear\_model.SGDOneClassSVM`. This implementation scales linearly with the number of samples and can be used with a kernel approximation to approximate the solution of a kernelized :class:`svm.OneClassSVM` whose complexity is at best quadratic in the number of samples. See section :ref:`sgd\_online\_one\_class\_svm` for more details. .. rubric:: Examples \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_linear\_model\_plot\_sgdocsvm\_vs\_ocsvm.py` for an illustration of the approximation of a kernelized One-Class SVM with the `linear\_model.SGDOneClassSVM` combined with kernel approximation. Outlier Detection ================= Outlier detection is similar to novelty detection in the sense that the goal is to separate a core of regular observations from some polluting ones, called \*outliers\*. Yet, in the case of outlier detection, we don't have a clean data set representing the population of regular observations that can be used to train any tool. Fitting an elliptic envelope ---------------------------- One common way of performing outlier detection is to assume that the regular data come from a known distribution (e.g. data are Gaussian distributed). From this assumption, we generally try to define the "shape" of the data, and can define outlying observations as observations which stand far enough from the fit shape. The scikit-learn provides an object :class:`covariance.EllipticEnvelope` that fits a robust covariance estimate to the data, and thus fits an ellipse to the central data points, ignoring points outside the central mode. For instance, assuming that the inlier data are Gaussian distributed, it will estimate the inlier location and covariance in a robust way (i.e. without being influenced by outliers). The Mahalanobis distances obtained from this estimate are used to derive a measure of outlyingness. This strategy is illustrated below. .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/covariance/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_mahalanobis\_distances\_001.png :target: ../auto\_examples/covariance/plot\_mahalanobis\_distances.html :align: center :scale: 75% .. rubric:: Examples \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_covariance\_plot\_mahalanobis\_distances.py` for an illustration of the difference between using a standard (:class:`covariance.EmpiricalCovariance`) or a robust estimate (:class:`covariance.MinCovDet`) of location and covariance to assess the degree of outlyingness of an observation. \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_applications\_plot\_outlier\_detection\_wine.py` for an example of robust covariance estimation on a real data set. .. rubric:: References \* Rousseeuw, P.J., Van Driessen, K. "A fast algorithm for the minimum covariance determinant estimator" Technometrics 41(3), 212 (1999) .. \_isolation\_forest: Isolation Forest ---------------------------- One efficient way of performing outlier detection in high-dimensional datasets is to use random forests. The :class:`ensemble.IsolationForest` 'isolates' observations by randomly selecting a feature and then randomly selecting a split value between the maximum and minimum values of the selected feature. Since recursive partitioning can be represented by a tree structure, the number of splittings required to isolate a sample is equivalent to the path length from the root node to the terminating node. This path length, averaged over a forest of such random trees, is a measure of normality and our decision function. Random partitioning produces noticeably shorter paths for anomalies. Hence, when a forest of random trees collectively produce shorter path lengths for particular samples, they are highly likely to be anomalies. The implementation of :class:`ensemble.IsolationForest` is based on an ensemble of :class:`tree.ExtraTreeRegressor`. Following Isolation Forest original paper, the maximum depth of each tree is set to :math:`\lceil \log\_2(n) \rceil` where :math:`n` is the number of samples used to build the tree (see [1]\_ for more details). This algorithm is illustrated below. .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/ensemble/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_isolation\_forest\_003.png :target: ../auto\_examples/ensemble/plot\_isolation\_forest.html :align: center :scale: 75% .. \_iforest\_warm\_start: The :class:`ensemble.IsolationForest` supports ``warm\_start=True`` which allows you to add more trees to an already fitted model:: >>> from sklearn.ensemble import IsolationForest >>> import numpy as np >>> X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [-3, -2], [0, 0], [-20, 50], [3, 5]]) >>> clf = IsolationForest(n\_estimators=10, warm\_start=True) >>> clf.fit(X) # fit 10 trees # doctest: +SKIP | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/outlier_detection.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

The :class:`neighbors.LocalOutlierFactor` (LOF) algorithm computes a score (called local outlier factor) reflecting the degree of abnormality of the observations. It measures the local density deviation of a given data point with respect to its neighbors. The idea is to detect the samples that have a substantially lower density than their neighbors. In practice the local density is obtained from the k-nearest neighbors. The LOF score of an observation is equal to the ratio of the average local density of its k-nearest neighbors, and its own local density: a normal instance is expected to have a local density similar to that of its neighbors, while abnormal data are expected to have much smaller local density. The number k of neighbors considered, (alias parameter `n\_neighbors`) is typically chosen 1) greater than the minimum number of objects a cluster has to contain, so that other objects can be local outliers relative to this cluster, and 2) smaller than the maximum number of close by objects that can potentially be local outliers. In practice, such information is generally not available, and taking `n\_neighbors=20` appears to work well in general. When the proportion of outliers is high (i.e. greater than 10 \%, as in the example below), `n\_neighbors` should be greater (`n\_neighbors=35` in the example below). The strength of the LOF algorithm is that it takes both local and global properties of datasets into consideration: it can perform well even in datasets where abnormal samples have different underlying densities. The question is not, how isolated the sample is, but how isolated it is with respect to the surrounding neighborhood. When applying LOF for outlier detection, there are no ``predict``, ``decision\_function`` and ``score\_samples`` methods but only a ``fit\_predict`` method. The scores of abnormality of the training samples are accessible through the ``negative\_outlier\_factor\_`` attribute. Note that ``predict``, ``decision\_function`` and ``score\_samples`` can be used on new unseen data when LOF is applied for novelty detection, i.e. when the ``novelty`` parameter is set to ``True``, but the result of ``predict`` may differ from that of ``fit\_predict``. See :ref:`novelty\_with\_lof`.

Algorithms for this task are based on the idea that the dimensionality of many data sets is only artificially high. Introduction ============ High-dimensional datasets can be very difficult to visualize. While data in two or three dimensions can be plotted to show the inherent structure of the data, equivalent high-dimensional plots are much less intuitive. To aid visualization of the structure of a dataset, the dimension must be reduced in some way. The simplest way to accomplish this dimensionality reduction is by taking a random projection of the data. Though this allows some degree of visualization of the data structure, the randomness of the choice leaves much to be desired. In a random projection, it is likely that the more interesting structure within the data will be lost. .. |digits\_img| image:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_001.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :scale: 50 .. |projected\_img| image:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_002.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :scale: 50 .. centered:: |digits\_img| |projected\_img| To address this concern, a number of supervised and unsupervised linear dimensionality reduction frameworks have been designed, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis, Linear Discriminant Analysis, and others. These algorithms define specific rubrics to choose an "interesting" linear projection of the data. These methods can be powerful, but often miss important non-linear structure in the data. .. |PCA\_img| image:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_003.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :scale: 50 .. |LDA\_img| image:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_004.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :scale: 50 .. centered:: |PCA\_img| |LDA\_img| Manifold Learning can be thought of as an attempt to generalize linear frameworks like PCA to be sensitive to non-linear structure in data. Though supervised variants exist, the typical manifold learning problem is unsupervised: it learns the high-dimensional structure of the data from the data itself, without the use of predetermined classifications. .. rubric:: Examples \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_manifold\_plot\_lle\_digits.py` for an example of dimensionality reduction on handwritten digits. \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_manifold\_plot\_compare\_methods.py` for an example of dimensionality reduction on a toy "S-curve" dataset. \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_applications\_plot\_stock\_market.py` for an example of using manifold learning to map the stock market structure based on historical stock prices. \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_manifold\_plot\_manifold\_sphere.py` for an example of manifold learning techniques applied to a spherical data-set. \* See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_manifold\_plot\_swissroll.py` for an example of using manifold learning techniques on a Swiss Roll dataset.

When the number of neighbors is greater than the number of input dimensions, the matrix defining each local neighborhood is rank-deficient. To address this, standard LLE applies an arbitrary regularization parameter :math:`r`, which is chosen relative to the trace of the local weight matrix. Though it can be shown formally that as :math:`r \to 0`, the solution converges to the desired embedding, there is no guarantee that the optimal solution will be found for :math:`r > 0`. This problem manifests itself in embeddings which distort the underlying geometry of the manifold. One method to address the regularization problem is to use multiple weight vectors in each neighborhood. This is the essence of \*modified locally linear embedding\* (MLLE).

Local Tangent Space Alignment ============================= Though not technically a variant of LLE, Local tangent space alignment (LTSA) is algorithmically similar enough to LLE that it can be put in this category. Rather than focusing on preserving neighborhood distances as in LLE, LTSA seeks to characterize the local geometry at each neighborhood via its tangent space, and performs a global optimization to align these local tangent spaces to learn the embedding.

In general, MDS is a technique used for analyzing dissimilarity data. It attempts to model dissimilarities as distances in a Euclidean space. The data can be ratings of dissimilarity between objects, interaction frequencies of molecules, or trade indices between countries. There exist three types of MDS algorithm: metric, non-metric, and classical. In scikit-learn, the class :class:`MDS` implements metric and non-metric MDS, while :class:`ClassicalMDS` implements classical MDS. In metric MDS, the distances in the embedding space are set as close as possible to the dissimilarity data. In the non-metric version, the algorithm will try to preserve the order of the distances, and hence seek for a monotonic relationship between the distances in the embedded space and the input dissimilarities. Finally, classical MDS is close to PCA and, instead of approximating distances, approximates pairwise scalar products, which is an easier optimization problem with an analytic solution in terms of eigendecomposition. .. |MMDS\_img| image:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_010.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :scale: 50 .. |NMDS\_img| image:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_011.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :scale: 50 .. centered:: |MMDS\_img| |NMDS\_img| Let :math:`\delta\_{ij}` be the dissimilarity matrix between the :math:`n` input points (possibly arising as some pairwise distances :math:`d\_{ij}(X)` between the coordinates :math:`X` of the input points).

The MDS objective, called the raw stress, is then defined by :math:`\sum\_{i < j} (\hat{d}\_{ij} - d\_{ij}(Z))^2`, where :math:`d\_{ij}(Z)` are the pairwise distances between the coordinates :math:`Z` of the embedded points. .. dropdown:: Metric MDS In the metric :class:`MDS` model (sometimes also called | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/manifold.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

The MDS objective, called the raw stress, is then defined by :math:`\sum\_{i < j} (\hat{d}\_{ij} - d\_{ij}(Z))^2`, where :math:`d\_{ij}(Z)` are the pairwise distances between the coordinates :math:`Z` of the embedded points. .. dropdown:: Metric MDS In the metric :class:`MDS` model (sometimes also called \*absolute MDS\*), disparities are simply equal to the input dissimilarities :math:`\hat{d}\_{ij} = \delta\_{ij}`. .. dropdown:: Non-metric MDS Non-metric :class:`MDS` focuses on the ordination of the data. If :math:`\delta\_{ij} > \delta\_{kl}`, then the embedding seeks to enforce :math:`d\_{ij}(Z) > d\_{kl}(Z)`. A simple algorithm to enforce proper ordination is to use an isotonic regression of :math:`d\_{ij}(Z)` on :math:`\delta\_{ij}`, yielding disparities :math:`\hat{d}\_{ij}` that are a monotonic transformation of dissimilarities :math:`\delta\_{ij}` and hence having the same ordering. This is done repeatedly after every step of the optimization algorithm. In order to avoid the trivial solution where all embedding points are overlapping, the disparities :math:`\hat{d}\_{ij}` are normalized. Note that since we only care about relative ordering, our objective should be invariant to simple translation and scaling, however the stress used in metric MDS is sensitive to scaling. To address this, non-metric MDS returns normalized stress, also known as Stress-1, defined as .. math:: \sqrt{\frac{\sum\_{i < j} (\hat{d}\_{ij} - d\_{ij}(Z))^2}{\sum\_{i < j} d\_{ij}(Z)^2}}.

Classical MDS replaces the stress loss function with a different loss function called \*strain\*, which has an exact solution in terms of eigendecomposition. If the dissimilarity matrix consists of the pairwise Euclidean distances between some vectors, then classical MDS is equivalent to PCA applied to this set of vectors. .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_012.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :align: center :scale: 50 Formally, the loss function of classical MDS (strain) is given by .. math:: \frac{\|B - ZZ^T\|\_F}{\|B\|\_F} =\sqrt{\frac{\sum\_{i,j} (b\_{ij} - z\_i^\top z\_j)^2}{\sum\_{i,j} b\_{ij}^2}}, where :math:`Z` is the :math:`n \times d` embedding matrix whose rows are :math:`z\_i^T`, :math:`\|\cdot\|\_F` denotes the Frobenius norm, and :math:`B` is the Gram matrix with elements :math:`b\_{ij}`, given by :math:`B = -\frac{1}{2}C\Delta C`. Here :math:`C\Delta C` is the double-centered matrix of squared dissimilarities, with :math:`\Delta` being the matrix of squared input dissimilarities :math:`\delta^2\_{ij}` and :math:`C=I-J/n` is the centering matrix (identity matrix minus a matrix of all ones divided by :math:`n`). This can be minimized exactly using the eigendecomposition of :math:`B`. .. rubric:: References \* `"More on Multidimensional Scaling and Unfolding in R: smacof Version 2" `\_ Mair P, Groenen P., de Leeuw J.

Revealing data that lie in multiple, different, manifolds or clusters \* Reducing the tendency to crowd points together at the center While Isomap, LLE and variants are best suited to unfold a single continuous low dimensional manifold, t-SNE will focus on the local structure of the data and will tend to extract clustered local groups of samples as highlighted on the S-curve example. This ability to group samples based on the local structure might be beneficial to visually disentangle a dataset that comprises several manifolds at once as is the case in the digits dataset. The Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence of the joint probabilities in the original space and the embedded space will be minimized by gradient descent. Note that the KL divergence is not convex, i.e. multiple restarts with different initializations will end up in local minima of the KL divergence. Hence, it is sometimes useful to try different seeds and select the embedding with the lowest KL divergence. The disadvantages to using t-SNE are roughly: \* t-SNE is computationally expensive, and can take several hours on million-sample datasets where PCA will finish in seconds or minutes \* The Barnes-Hut t-SNE method is limited to two or three dimensional embeddings. \* The algorithm is stochastic and multiple restarts with different seeds can yield different embeddings. However, it is perfectly legitimate to pick the embedding with the least error. \* Global structure is not explicitly preserved. This problem is mitigated by initializing points with PCA (using `init='pca'`). .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/manifold/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_lle\_digits\_015.png :target: ../auto\_examples/manifold/plot\_lle\_digits.html :align: center :scale: 50 .. dropdown:: Optimizing t-SNE The main purpose of t-SNE is visualization of high-dimensional data. Hence, it works best when the data will be embedded on two or three dimensions. Optimizing the KL divergence can be a little bit tricky sometimes. There are five parameters that control the optimization of t-SNE and therefore possibly the quality of the resulting embedding: \* perplexity \* early exaggeration factor \* learning rate \* maximum number of iterations \* angle (not used in the exact method) The perplexity is defined as :math:`k=2^{(S)}` where :math:`S` is the Shannon entropy of the conditional probability distribution. The perplexity of a :math:`k`-sided die is :math:`k`, so that :math:`k` is effectively the number of nearest neighbors t-SNE considers when generating the conditional probabilities. Larger perplexities lead to more nearest neighbors and less sensitive to small structure. Conversely a lower perplexity considers a smaller number of neighbors, and thus ignores more global information in favour of the local neighborhood. As dataset sizes get larger more points will be required to get a reasonable sample of the local neighborhood, and hence larger perplexities may be required. Similarly noisier datasets will require larger perplexity values to encompass enough local neighbors to see beyond the background noise. The maximum number of iterations is usually high enough and does not need any tuning. The optimization consists of two phases: the early exaggeration phase and the final optimization. During early exaggeration the joint probabilities in the original space will be artificially increased by multiplication with a given factor. Larger factors result in larger gaps between natural clusters in the data. If the factor is too high, the KL divergence could increase during this phase. Usually it does not have to be tuned. A critical parameter is the learning rate. If it is too low gradient descent will get stuck in a bad local minimum. If it is too high the KL divergence will increase during optimization. A heuristic suggested in Belkina et al. (2019) is to set the learning rate to the sample size divided by the early exaggeration factor.

is too low gradient descent will get stuck in a bad local minimum. If it is too high the KL divergence will increase during optimization. A heuristic suggested in Belkina et al. (2019) is to set the learning rate to the sample size divided by the early exaggeration factor. We implement this heuristic as `learning\_rate='auto'` argument. More tips can be found in Laurens van der Maaten's FAQ (see references). The last parameter, angle, is a tradeoff between performance and accuracy. Larger angles imply that we can approximate larger regions by a single point, leading to better speed but less accurate results. `"How to Use t-SNE Effectively" `\_ provides a good discussion of the effects of the various parameters, as well as interactive plots to explore the effects of different parameters. .. dropdown:: Barnes-Hut t-SNE The Barnes-Hut t-SNE that has been implemented here is usually much slower than other manifold learning algorithms. The optimization is quite difficult and the computation of the gradient is :math:`O[d N log(N)]`, where :math:`d` is the number of output dimensions and :math:`N` is the number of samples. The Barnes-Hut method improves on the exact method where t-SNE complexity is :math:`O[d N^2]`, but has several other notable differences: \* The Barnes-Hut implementation only works when the target dimensionality is 3 or less. The 2D case is typical when building visualizations. \* Barnes-Hut only works with dense input data. Sparse data matrices can only be embedded with the exact method or can be approximated by a dense low rank projection for instance using :class:`~sklearn.decomposition.PCA` \* Barnes-Hut is an approximation of the exact method. The approximation is parameterized with the angle parameter, therefore the angle parameter is unused when method="exact" \* Barnes-Hut is significantly more scalable. Barnes-Hut can be used to embed hundreds of thousands of data points while the exact method can handle thousands of samples before becoming computationally intractable For visualization purpose (which is the main use case of t-SNE), using the Barnes-Hut method is strongly recommended. The exact t-SNE method is useful for checking the theoretical properties of the embedding possibly in higher dimensional space but limited to small datasets due to computational constraints. Also note that the digits labels roughly match the natural grouping found by t-SNE while the linear 2D projection of the PCA model yields a representation where label regions largely overlap. This is a strong clue that this data can be well separated by non linear methods that focus on the local structure (e.g. an SVM with a Gaussian RBF kernel). However, failing to visualize well separated homogeneously labeled groups with t-SNE in 2D does not necessarily imply that the data cannot be correctly classified by a supervised model. It might be the case that 2 dimensions are not high enough to accurately represent the internal structure of the data. .. rubric:: References \* `"Visualizing High-Dimensional Data Using t-SNE" `\_ van der Maaten, L.J.P.; Hinton, G.

5415 (2019). Tips on practical use ===================== \* Make sure the same scale is used over all features. Because manifold learning methods are based on a nearest-neighbor search, the algorithm may perform poorly otherwise. See :ref:`StandardScaler ` for convenient ways of scaling heterogeneous data. \* The reconstruction error computed by each routine can be used to choose the optimal output dimension. For a :math:`d`-dimensional manifold embedded in a :math:`D`-dimensional parameter space, the reconstruction error will decrease as ``n\_components`` is increased until ``n\_components == d``. \* Note that noisy data can "short-circuit" the manifold, in essence acting as a bridge between parts of the manifold that would otherwise be well-separated. Manifold learning on noisy and/or incomplete data is an active area of research. \* Certain input configurations can lead to singular weight matrices, for example when more than two points in the dataset are identical, or when the data is split into disjointed groups. In this case, ``solver='arpack'`` will fail to find the null space. The easiest way to address this is to use ``solver='dense'`` which will work on a singular matrix, though it may be very slow depending on the number of input points. Alternatively, one can attempt to understand the source of the singularity: if it is due to disjoint sets, increasing ``n\_neighbors`` may help. If it is due to identical points in the dataset, removing these points may help. .. seealso:: :ref:`random\_trees\_embedding` can also be useful to derive non-linear representations of feature space, but it does not perform dimensionality reduction. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/manifold.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. currentmodule:: sklearn.model\_selection .. \_grid\_search: =========================================== Tuning the hyper-parameters of an estimator =========================================== Hyper-parameters are parameters that are not directly learnt within estimators. In scikit-learn they are passed as arguments to the constructor of the estimator classes. Typical examples include ``C``, ``kernel`` and ``gamma`` for Support Vector Classifier, ``alpha`` for Lasso, etc. It is possible and recommended to search the hyper-parameter space for the best :ref:`cross validation ` score. Any parameter provided when constructing an estimator may be optimized in this manner. Specifically, to find the names and current values for all parameters for a given estimator, use:: estimator.get\_params() A search consists of: - an estimator (regressor or classifier such as ``sklearn.svm.SVC()``); - a parameter space; - a method for searching or sampling candidates; - a cross-validation scheme; and - a :ref:`score function `. Two generic approaches to parameter search are provided in scikit-learn: for given values, :class:`GridSearchCV` exhaustively considers all parameter combinations, while :class:`RandomizedSearchCV` can sample a given number of candidates from a parameter space with a specified distribution. Both these tools have successive halving counterparts :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV` and :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV`, which can be much faster at finding a good parameter combination. After describing these tools we detail :ref:`best practices ` applicable to these approaches. Some models allow for specialized, efficient parameter search strategies, outlined in :ref:`alternative\_cv`. Note that it is common that a small subset of those parameters can have a large impact on the predictive or computation performance of the model while others can be left to their default values. It is recommended to read the docstring of the estimator class to get a finer understanding of their expected behavior, possibly by reading the enclosed reference to the literature. Exhaustive Grid Search ====================== The grid search provided by :class:`GridSearchCV` exhaustively generates candidates from a grid of parameter values specified with the ``param\_grid`` parameter. For instance, the following ``param\_grid``:: param\_grid = [ {'C': [1, 10, 100, 1000], 'kernel': ['linear']}, {'C': [1, 10, 100, 1000], 'gamma': [0.001, 0.0001], 'kernel': ['rbf']}, ] specifies that two grids should be explored: one with a linear kernel and C values in [1, 10, 100, 1000], and the second one with an RBF kernel, and the cross-product of C values ranging in [1, 10, 100, 1000] and gamma values in [0.001, 0.0001]. The :class:`GridSearchCV` instance implements the usual estimator API: when "fitting" it on a dataset all the possible combinations of parameter values are evaluated and the best combination is retained. .. currentmodule:: sklearn.model\_selection .. rubric:: Examples - See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_model\_selection\_plot\_nested\_cross\_validation\_iris.py` for an example of Grid Search within a cross validation loop on the iris dataset.

This has two main benefits over an exhaustive search: \* A budget can be chosen independent of the number of parameters and possible values. \* Adding parameters that do not influence the performance does not decrease efficiency. Specifying how parameters should be sampled is done using a dictionary, very similar to specifying parameters for :class:`GridSearchCV`. Additionally, a computation budget, being the number of sampled candidates or sampling iterations, is specified using the ``n\_iter`` parameter. For each parameter, either a distribution over possible values or a list of discrete choices (which will be sampled uniformly) can be specified:: {'C': scipy.stats.expon(scale=100), 'gamma': scipy.stats.expon(scale=.1), 'kernel': ['rbf'], 'class\_weight':['balanced', None]} This example uses the ``scipy.stats`` module, which contains many useful distributions for sampling parameters, such as ``expon``, ``gamma``, ``uniform``, ``loguniform`` or ``randint``. In principle, any function can be passed that provides a ``rvs`` (random variate sample) method to sample a value. A call to the ``rvs`` function should provide independent random samples from possible parameter values on consecutive calls. .. warning:: The distributions in ``scipy.stats`` prior to version scipy 0.16 do not allow specifying a random state. Instead, they use the global numpy random state, that can be seeded via ``np.random.seed`` or set using ``np.random.set\_state``. However, beginning scikit-learn 0.18, the :mod:`sklearn.model\_selection` module sets the random state provided by the user if scipy >= 0.16 is also available. For continuous parameters, such as ``C`` above, it is important to specify a continuous distribution to take full advantage of the randomization. This way, increasing ``n\_iter`` will always lead to a finer search. A continuous log-uniform random variable is the continuous version of a log-spaced parameter. For example to specify the equivalent of ``C`` from above, ``loguniform(1, 100)`` can be used instead of ``[1, 10, 100]``. Mirroring the example above in grid search, we can specify a continuous random variable that is log-uniformly distributed between ``1e0`` and ``1e3``:: from sklearn.utils.fixes import loguniform {'C': loguniform(1e0, 1e3), 'gamma': loguniform(1e-4, 1e-3), 'kernel': ['rbf'], 'class\_weight':['balanced', None]} .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_model\_selection\_plot\_randomized\_search.py` compares the usage and efficiency of randomized search and grid search. .. rubric:: References \* Bergstra, J. and Bengio, Y., Random search for hyper-parameter optimization, The Journal of Machine Learning Research (2012) .. \_successive\_halving\_user\_guide: Searching for optimal parameters with successive halving ======================================================== Scikit-learn also provides the :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV` and :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV` estimators that can be used to search a parameter space using successive halving [1]\_ [2]\_. Successive halving (SH) is like a tournament among candidate parameter combinations. SH is an iterative selection process where all candidates (the parameter combinations) are evaluated with a small amount of resources at the first iteration. Only some of these candidates are selected for the next iteration, which will be allocated more resources. For parameter tuning, the resource is typically the number of training samples, but it can also be an arbitrary numeric parameter such as `n\_estimators` in a random forest. .. note:: The resource increase chosen should be large enough so that a large improvement in scores is obtained when taking into account statistical significance.

of training samples, but it can also be an arbitrary numeric parameter such as `n\_estimators` in a random forest. .. note:: The resource increase chosen should be large enough so that a large improvement in scores is obtained when taking into account statistical significance. As illustrated in the figure below, only a subset of candidates 'survive' until the last iteration. These are the candidates that have consistently ranked among the top-scoring candidates across all iterations. Each iteration is allocated an increasing amount of resources per candidate, here the number of samples. .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/model\_selection/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_successive\_halving\_iterations\_001.png :target: ../auto\_examples/model\_selection/plot\_successive\_halving\_iterations.html :align: center We here briefly describe the main parameters, but each parameter and their interactions are described more in detail in the dropdown section below. The ``factor`` (> 1) parameter controls the rate at which the resources grow, and the rate at which the number of candidates decreases. In each iteration, the number of resources per candidate is multiplied by ``factor`` and the number of candidates is divided by the same factor. Along with ``resource`` and ``min\_resources``, ``factor`` is the most important parameter to control the search in our implementation, though a value of 3 usually works well. ``factor`` effectively controls the number of iterations in :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV` and the number of candidates (by default) and iterations in :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV`. ``aggressive\_elimination=True`` can also be used if the number of available resources is small. More control is available through tuning the ``min\_resources`` parameter. These estimators are still \*\*experimental\*\*: their predictions and their API might change without any deprecation cycle. To use them, you need to explicitly import ``enable\_halving\_search\_cv``:: >>> from sklearn.experimental import enable\_halving\_search\_cv # noqa >>> from sklearn.model\_selection import HalvingGridSearchCV >>> from sklearn.model\_selection import HalvingRandomSearchCV .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_model\_selection\_plot\_successive\_halving\_heatmap.py` \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_model\_selection\_plot\_successive\_halving\_iterations.py` The sections below dive into technical aspects of successive halving. .. dropdown:: Choosing ``min\_resources`` and the number of candidates Beside ``factor``, the two main parameters that influence the behaviour of a successive halving search are the ``min\_resources`` parameter, and the number of candidates (or parameter combinations) that are evaluated. ``min\_resources`` is the amount of resources allocated at the first iteration for each candidate. The number of candidates is specified directly in :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV`, and is determined from the ``param\_grid`` parameter of :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV`. Consider a case where the resource is the number of samples, and where we have 1000 samples. In theory, with ``min\_resources=10`` and ``factor=2``, we are able to run \*\*at most\*\* 7 iterations with the following number of samples: ``[10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640]``. But depending on the number of candidates, we might run less than 7 iterations: if we start with a \*\*small\*\* number of candidates, the last iteration might use less than 640 samples, which means not using all the available resources (samples). For example if we start with 5 candidates, we only need 2 iterations: 5 candidates for the first iteration, then `5 // 2 = 2` candidates at the second iteration, after which we know which candidate performs the best (so we don't need a third one). We would only be using at most 20 samples which is a waste since we have 1000 samples at our disposal. On the other hand, if we start with a \*\*high\*\* number of candidates, we might end up with a lot of candidates at the last iteration, which may not always be ideal: it means that many candidates will run with the full resources, basically reducing the procedure to standard search. In the case of :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV`, the number of candidates is set by default such that the last iteration uses as much of the available resources as possible.

ideal: it means that many candidates will run with the full resources, basically reducing the procedure to standard search. In the case of :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV`, the number of candidates is set by default such that the last iteration uses as much of the available resources as possible. For :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV`, the number of candidates is determined by the `param\_grid` parameter. Changing the value of ``min\_resources`` will impact the number of possible iterations, and as a result will also have an effect on the ideal number of candidates. Another consideration when choosing ``min\_resources`` is whether or not it is easy to discriminate between good and bad candidates with a small amount of resources. For example, if you need a lot of samples to distinguish between good and bad parameters, a high ``min\_resources`` is recommended. On the other hand if the distinction is clear even with a small amount of samples, then a small ``min\_resources`` may be preferable since it would speed up the computation. Notice in the example above that the last iteration does not use the maximum amount of resources available: 1000 samples are available, yet only 640 are used, at most. By default, both :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV` and :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV` try to use as many resources as possible in the last iteration, with the constraint that this amount of resources must be a multiple of both `min\_resources` and `factor` (this constraint will be clear in the next section). :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV` achieves this by sampling the right amount of candidates, while :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV` achieves this by properly setting `min\_resources`. .. dropdown:: Amount of resource and number of candidates at each iteration At any iteration `i`, each candidate is allocated a given amount of resources which we denote `n\_resources\_i`. This quantity is controlled by the parameters ``factor`` and ``min\_resources`` as follows (`factor` is strictly greater than 1):: n\_resources\_i = factor\*\*i \* min\_resources, or equivalently:: n\_resources\_{i+1} = n\_resources\_i \* factor where ``min\_resources == n\_resources\_0`` is the amount of resources used at the first iteration. ``factor`` also defines the proportions of candidates that will be selected for the next iteration:: n\_candidates\_i = n\_candidates // (factor \*\* i) or equivalently:: n\_candidates\_0 = n\_candidates n\_candidates\_{i+1} = n\_candidates\_i // factor So in the first iteration, we use ``min\_resources`` resources ``n\_candidates`` times. In the second iteration, we use ``min\_resources \* factor`` resources ``n\_candidates // factor`` times. The third again multiplies the resources per candidate and divides the number of candidates. This process stops when the maximum amount of resource per candidate is reached, or when we have identified the best candidate. The best candidate is identified at the iteration that is evaluating `factor` or less candidates (see just below for an explanation). Here is an example with ``min\_resources=3`` and ``factor=2``, starting with 70 candidates: +-----------------------+-----------------------+ | ``n\_resources\_i`` | ``n\_candidates\_i`` | +=======================+=======================+ | 3 (=min\_resources) | 70 (=n\_candidates) | +-----------------------+-----------------------+ | 3 \* 2 = 6 | 70 // 2 = 35 | +-----------------------+-----------------------+ | 6 \* 2 = 12 | 35 // 2 = 17 | +-----------------------+-----------------------+ | 12 \* 2 = 24 | 17 // 2 = 8 | +-----------------------+-----------------------+ | 24 \* 2 = 48 | 8 // 2 = 4 | +-----------------------+-----------------------+ | 48 \* 2 = 96 | 4 // 2 = 2 | +-----------------------+-----------------------+ We can note that: - the process stops at the first iteration which evaluates `factor=2` candidates: the best candidate is the best out of these 2 candidates. It is not necessary to run an additional iteration, since it would only evaluate one candidate (namely the best one, which we have already identified).

candidates: the best candidate is the best out of these 2 candidates. It is not necessary to run an additional iteration, since it would only evaluate one candidate (namely the best one, which we have already identified). For this reason, in general, we want the last iteration to run at most ``factor`` candidates. If the last iteration evaluates more than `factor` candidates, then this last iteration reduces to a regular search (as in :class:`RandomizedSearchCV` or :class:`GridSearchCV`). - each ``n\_resources\_i`` is a multiple of both ``factor`` and ``min\_resources`` (which is confirmed by its definition above). The amount of resources that is used at each iteration can be found in the `n\_resources\_` attribute. .. dropdown:: Choosing a resource By default, the resource is defined in terms of number of samples. That is, each iteration will use an increasing amount of samples to train on. You can however manually specify a parameter to use as the resource with the ``resource`` parameter. Here is an example where the resource is defined in terms of the number of estimators of a random forest:: >>> from sklearn.datasets import make\_classification >>> from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier >>> from sklearn.experimental import enable\_halving\_search\_cv # noqa >>> from sklearn.model\_selection import HalvingGridSearchCV >>> import pandas as pd >>> param\_grid = {'max\_depth': [3, 5, 10], ... 'min\_samples\_split': [2, 5, 10]} >>> base\_estimator = RandomForestClassifier(random\_state=0) >>> X, y = make\_classification(n\_samples=1000, random\_state=0) >>> sh = HalvingGridSearchCV(base\_estimator, param\_grid, cv=5, ... factor=2, resource='n\_estimators', ... max\_resources=30).fit(X, y) >>> sh.best\_estimator\_ RandomForestClassifier(max\_depth=5, n\_estimators=24, random\_state=0) Note that it is not possible to budget on a parameter that is part of the parameter grid. .. dropdown:: Exhausting the available resources As mentioned above, the number of resources that is used at each iteration depends on the `min\_resources` parameter. If you have a lot of resources available but start with a low number of resources, some of them might be wasted (i.e. not used):: >>> from sklearn.datasets import make\_classification >>> from sklearn.svm import SVC >>> from sklearn.experimental import enable\_halving\_search\_cv # noqa >>> from sklearn.model\_selection import HalvingGridSearchCV >>> import pandas as pd >>> param\_grid= {'kernel': ('linear', 'rbf'), ... 'C': [1, 10, 100]} >>> base\_estimator = SVC(gamma='scale') >>> X, y = make\_classification(n\_samples=1000) >>> sh = HalvingGridSearchCV(base\_estimator, param\_grid, cv=5, ... factor=2, min\_resources=20).fit(X, y) >>> sh.n\_resources\_ [20, 40, 80] The search process will only use 80 resources at most, while our maximum amount of available resources is ``n\_samples=1000``. Here, we have ``min\_resources = r\_0 = 20``. For :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV`, by default, the `min\_resources` parameter is set to 'exhaust'. This means that `min\_resources` is automatically set such that the last iteration can use as many resources as possible, within the `max\_resources` limit:: >>> sh = HalvingGridSearchCV(base\_estimator, param\_grid, cv=5, ... factor=2, min\_resources='exhaust').fit(X, y) >>> sh.n\_resources\_ [250, 500, 1000] `min\_resources` was here automatically set to 250, which results in the last iteration using all the resources. The exact value that is used depends on the number of candidate parameters, on `max\_resources` and on `factor`. For :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV`, exhausting the resources can be done in 2 ways: - by setting `min\_resources='exhaust'`, just like for :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV`; - by setting `n\_candidates='exhaust'`. Both options are mutually exclusive: using `min\_resources='exhaust'` requires knowing the number of candidates, and symmetrically `n\_candidates='exhaust'` requires knowing `min\_resources`. In general, exhausting the total number of resources leads to a better final candidate parameter, and is slightly more time-intensive. .. \_aggressive\_elimination: Aggressive elimination of candidates ------------------------------------ Using the ``aggressive\_elimination`` parameter, you can force the search process to end up with less than ``factor`` candidates at the last iteration. .. dropdown:: Code example of aggressive elimination Ideally, we want the last iteration to evaluate ``factor`` candidates.

When using ``aggressive\_elimination``, the process will eliminate as many candidates as necessary using ``min\_resources`` resources:: >>> sh = HalvingGridSearchCV(base\_estimator, param\_grid, cv=5, ... factor=2, ... max\_resources=40, ... aggressive\_elimination=True, ... ).fit(X, y) >>> sh.n\_resources\_ [20, 20, 40] >>> sh.n\_candidates\_ [6, 3, 2] Notice that we end with 2 candidates at the last iteration since we have eliminated enough candidates during the first iterations, using ``n\_resources = min\_resources = 20``. .. \_successive\_halving\_cv\_results: Analyzing results with the `cv\_results\_` attribute -------------------------------------------------- The ``cv\_results\_`` attribute contains useful information for analyzing the results of a search. It can be converted to a pandas dataframe with ``df = pd.DataFrame(est.cv\_results\_)``. The ``cv\_results\_`` attribute of :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV` and :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV` is similar to that of :class:`GridSearchCV` and :class:`RandomizedSearchCV`, with additional information related to the successive halving process. .. dropdown:: Example of a (truncated) output dataframe: ==== ====== =============== ================= ======================================================================================== .. iter n\_resources mean\_test\_score params ==== ====== =============== ================= ======================================================================================== 0 0 125 0.983667 {'criterion': 'log\_loss', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 9, 'min\_samples\_split': 5} 1 0 125 0.983667 {'criterion': 'gini', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 8, 'min\_samples\_split': 7} 2 0 125 0.983667 {'criterion': 'gini', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 10, 'min\_samples\_split': 10} 3 0 125 0.983667 {'criterion': 'log\_loss', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 6, 'min\_samples\_split': 6} ... ... ... ... ... 15 2 500 0.951958 {'criterion': 'log\_loss', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 9, 'min\_samples\_split': 10} 16 2 500 0.947958 {'criterion': 'gini', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 10, 'min\_samples\_split': 10} 17 2 500 0.951958 {'criterion': 'gini', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 10, 'min\_samples\_split': 4} 18 3 1000 0.961009 {'criterion': 'log\_loss', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 9, 'min\_samples\_split': 10} 19 3 1000 0.955989 {'criterion': 'gini', 'max\_depth': None, 'max\_features': 10, 'min\_samples\_split': 4} ==== ====== =============== ================= ======================================================================================== Each row corresponds to a given parameter combination (a candidate) and a given iteration.

search ========================= .. \_gridsearch\_scoring: Specifying an objective metric ------------------------------ By default, parameter search uses the ``score`` function of the estimator to evaluate a parameter setting. These are the :func:`sklearn.metrics.accuracy\_score` for classification and :func:`sklearn.metrics.r2\_score` for regression. For some applications, other scoring functions are better suited (for example in unbalanced classification, the accuracy score is often uninformative), see :ref:`which\_scoring\_function` for some guidance. An alternative scoring function can be specified via the ``scoring`` parameter of most parameter search tools, see :ref:`scoring\_parameter` for more details. .. \_multimetric\_grid\_search: Specifying multiple metrics for evaluation ------------------------------------------ :class:`GridSearchCV` and :class:`RandomizedSearchCV` allow specifying multiple metrics for the ``scoring`` parameter. Multimetric scoring can either be specified as a list of strings of predefined scores names or a dict mapping the scorer name to the scorer function and/or the predefined scorer name(s). See :ref:`multimetric\_scoring` for more details. When specifying multiple metrics, the ``refit`` parameter must be set to the metric (string) for which the ``best\_params\_`` will be found and used to build the ``best\_estimator\_`` on the whole dataset. If the search should not be refit, set ``refit=False``. Leaving refit to the default value ``None`` will result in an error when using multiple metrics. See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_model\_selection\_plot\_multi\_metric\_evaluation.py` for an example usage. :class:`HalvingRandomSearchCV` and :class:`HalvingGridSearchCV` do not support multimetric scoring. .. \_composite\_grid\_search: Composite estimators and parameter spaces ----------------------------------------- :class:`GridSearchCV` and :class:`RandomizedSearchCV` allow searching over parameters of composite or nested estimators such as :class:`~sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline`, :class:`~sklearn.compose.ColumnTransformer`, :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.VotingClassifier` or :class:`~sklearn.calibration.CalibratedClassifierCV` using a dedicated ``\_\_`` syntax:: >>> from sklearn.model\_selection import GridSearchCV >>> from sklearn.calibration import CalibratedClassifierCV >>> from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier >>> from sklearn.datasets import make\_moons >>> X, y = make\_moons() >>> calibrated\_forest = CalibratedClassifierCV( ... estimator=RandomForestClassifier(n\_estimators=10)) >>> param\_grid = { ... 'estimator\_\_max\_depth': [2, 4, 6, 8]} >>> search = GridSearchCV(calibrated\_forest, param\_grid, cv=5) >>> search.fit(X, y) GridSearchCV(cv=5, estimator=CalibratedClassifierCV(estimator=RandomForestClassifier(n\_estimators=10)), param\_grid={'estimator\_\_max\_depth': [2, 4, 6, 8]}) Here, ```` is the parameter name of the nested estimator, in this case ``estimator``. If the meta-estimator is constructed as a collection of estimators as in `pipeline.Pipeline`, then ```` refers to the name of the estimator, see :ref:`pipeline\_nested\_parameters`. In practice, there can be several levels of nesting:: >>> from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline >>> from sklearn.feature\_selection import SelectKBest >>> pipe = Pipeline([ ... ('select', SelectKBest()), ... ('model', calibrated\_forest)]) >>> param\_grid = { ... 'select\_\_k': [1, 2], ... 'model\_\_estimator\_\_max\_depth': [2, 4, 6, 8]} >>> search = GridSearchCV(pipe, param\_grid, cv=5).fit(X, y) Please refer to :ref:`pipeline` for performing parameter searches over pipelines. Model selection: development and evaluation ------------------------------------------- Model selection by evaluating various parameter settings can be seen as a way to use the labeled data to "train" the parameters of the grid. When evaluating the resulting model it is important to do it on held-out samples that were not seen during the grid search process: it is recommended to split the data into a \*\*development set\*\* (to be fed to the :class:`GridSearchCV` instance) and an \*\*evaluation set\*\* to compute performance metrics. This can be done by using the :func:`train\_test\_split` utility function. Parallelism ----------- The parameter search tools evaluate each parameter combination on each data fold independently. Computations can be run in parallel by using the keyword ``n\_jobs=-1``. See function signature for more details, and also the Glossary entry for :term:`n\_jobs`. Robustness to failure --------------------- Some parameter settings may result in a failure to ``fit`` one or more folds of the data. By default, the score for those settings will be `np.nan`. This can be controlled by setting `error\_score="raise"` to raise an exception if one fit fails, or for example `error\_score=0` to set another value for the score of failing parameter combinations. .. \_alternative\_cv: Alternatives to brute force parameter search ============================================ Model specific cross-validation ------------------------------- Some models can fit | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/grid_search.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

This feature can be leveraged to perform a more efficient cross-validation used for model selection of this parameter. The most common parameter amenable to this strategy is the parameter encoding the strength of the regularizer. In this case we say that we compute the \*\*regularization path\*\* of the estimator. Here is the list of such models: .. currentmodule:: sklearn .. autosummary:: linear\_model.ElasticNetCV linear\_model.LarsCV linear\_model.LassoCV linear\_model.LassoLarsCV linear\_model.LogisticRegressionCV linear\_model.MultiTaskElasticNetCV linear\_model.MultiTaskLassoCV linear\_model.OrthogonalMatchingPursuitCV linear\_model.RidgeCV linear\_model.RidgeClassifierCV Information Criterion --------------------- Some models can offer an information-theoretic closed-form formula of the optimal estimate of the regularization parameter by computing a single regularization path (instead of several when using cross-validation).

For each classifier in the ensemble, a different part of the training set is left out. This left out portion can be used to estimate the generalization error without having to rely on a separate validation set. This estimate comes "for free" as no additional data is needed and can be used for model selection. This is currently implemented in the following classes: .. autosummary:: ensemble.RandomForestClassifier ensemble.RandomForestRegressor ensemble.ExtraTreesClassifier ensemble.ExtraTreesRegressor ensemble.GradientBoostingClassifier ensemble.GradientBoostingRegressor | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/grid_search.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_feature\_extraction: ================== Feature extraction ================== .. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature\_extraction The :mod:`sklearn.feature\_extraction` module can be used to extract features in a format supported by machine learning algorithms from datasets consisting of formats such as text and image. .. note:: Feature extraction is very different from :ref:`feature\_selection`: the former consists of transforming arbitrary data, such as text or images, into numerical features usable for machine learning. The latter is a machine learning technique applied to these features. .. \_dict\_feature\_extraction: Loading features from dicts =========================== The class :class:`DictVectorizer` can be used to convert feature arrays represented as lists of standard Python ``dict`` objects to the NumPy/SciPy representation used by scikit-learn estimators. While not particularly fast to process, Python's ``dict`` has the advantages of being convenient to use, being sparse (absent features need not be stored) and storing feature names in addition to values. :class:`DictVectorizer` implements what is called one-of-K or "one-hot" coding for categorical (aka nominal, discrete) features. Categorical features are "attribute-value" pairs where the value is restricted to a list of discrete possibilities without ordering (e.g. topic identifiers, types of objects, tags, names...). In the following, "city" is a categorical attribute while "temperature" is a traditional numerical feature:: >>> measurements = [ ... {'city': 'Dubai', 'temperature': 33.}, ... {'city': 'London', 'temperature': 12.}, ... {'city': 'San Francisco', 'temperature': 18.}, ... ] >>> from sklearn.feature\_extraction import DictVectorizer >>> vec = DictVectorizer() >>> vec.fit\_transform(measurements).toarray() array([[ 1., 0., 0., 33.], [ 0., 1., 0., 12.], [ 0., 0., 1., 18.]]) >>> vec.get\_feature\_names\_out() array(['city=Dubai', 'city=London', 'city=San Francisco', 'temperature'], ...) :class:`DictVectorizer` accepts multiple string values for one feature, like, e.g., multiple categories for a movie. Assume a database classifies each movie using some categories (not mandatory) and its year of release. >>> movie\_entry = [{'category': ['thriller', 'drama'], 'year': 2003}, ... {'category': ['animation', 'family'], 'year': 2011}, ... {'year': 1974}] >>> vec.fit\_transform(movie\_entry).toarray() array([[0.000e+00, 1.000e+00, 0.000e+00, 1.000e+00, 2.003e+03], [1.000e+00, 0.000e+00, 1.000e+00, 0.000e+00, 2.011e+03], [0.000e+00, 0.000e+00, 0.000e+00, 0.000e+00, 1.974e+03]]) >>> vec.get\_feature\_names\_out() array(['category=animation', 'category=drama', 'category=family', 'category=thriller', 'year'], ...) >>> vec.transform({'category': ['thriller'], ... 'unseen\_feature': '3'}).toarray() array([[0., 0., 0., 1., 0.]]) :class:`DictVectorizer` is also a useful representation transformation for training sequence classifiers in Natural Language Processing models that typically work by extracting feature windows around a particular word of interest. For example, suppose that we have a first algorithm that extracts Part of Speech (PoS) tags that we want to use as complementary tags for training a sequence classifier (e.g. a chunker). The following dict could be such a window of features extracted around the word 'sat' in the sentence 'The cat sat on the mat.':: >>> pos\_window = [ ... { ... 'word-2': 'the', ... 'pos-2': 'DT', ... 'word-1': 'cat', ... 'pos-1': 'NN', ... 'word+1': 'on', ... 'pos+1': 'PP', ... }, ... # in a real application one would extract many such dictionaries ... ] This description can be vectorized into a sparse two-dimensional matrix suitable for feeding into a classifier (maybe after being piped into a :class:`~text.TfidfTransformer` for normalization):: >>> vec = DictVectorizer() >>> pos\_vectorized = vec.fit\_transform(pos\_window) >>> pos\_vectorized >>> pos\_vectorized.toarray() array([[1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.]]) >>> vec.get\_feature\_names\_out() array(['pos+1=PP', 'pos-1=NN', 'pos-2=DT', 'word+1=on', 'word-1=cat', 'word-2=the'], ...) As you can imagine, if one extracts such a context around each individual word of a corpus of documents the resulting matrix will be very wide (many one-hot-features) with most of them being valued to zero most of the time. So as to make the resulting data structure able to fit in memory the ``DictVectorizer`` class uses a ``scipy.sparse`` matrix by default instead of a ``numpy.ndarray``. .. \_feature\_hashing: Feature hashing =============== .. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature\_extraction The class :class:`FeatureHasher` is a high-speed, low-memory vectorizer that uses a technique known | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

of the time. So as to make the resulting data structure able to fit in memory the ``DictVectorizer`` class uses a ``scipy.sparse`` matrix by default instead of a ``numpy.ndarray``. .. \_feature\_hashing: Feature hashing =============== .. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature\_extraction The class :class:`FeatureHasher` is a high-speed, low-memory vectorizer that uses a technique known as `feature hashing `\_, or the "hashing trick". Instead of building a hash table of the features encountered in training, as the vectorizers do, instances of :class:`FeatureHasher` apply a hash function to the features to determine their column index in sample matrices directly. The result is increased speed and reduced memory usage, at the expense of inspectability; the hasher does not remember what the input features looked like and has no ``inverse\_transform`` method. Since the hash function might cause collisions between (unrelated) features, a signed hash function is used and the sign of the hash value determines the sign of the value stored in the output matrix for a feature. This way, collisions are likely to cancel out rather than accumulate error, and the expected mean of any output feature's value is zero. This mechanism is enabled by default with ``alternate\_sign=True`` and is particularly useful for small hash table sizes (``n\_features < 10000``). For large hash table sizes, it can be disabled, to allow the output to be passed to estimators like :class:`~sklearn.naive\_bayes.MultinomialNB` or :class:`~sklearn.feature\_selection.chi2` feature selectors that expect non-negative inputs. :class:`FeatureHasher` accepts either mappings (like Python's ``dict`` and its variants in the ``collections`` module), ``(feature, value)`` pairs, or strings, depending on the constructor parameter ``input\_type``. Mappings are treated as lists of ``(feature, value)`` pairs, while single strings have an implicit value of 1, so ``['feat1', 'feat2', 'feat3']`` is interpreted as ``[('feat1', 1), ('feat2', 1), ('feat3', 1)]``. If a single feature occurs multiple times in a sample, the associated values will be summed (so ``('feat', 2)`` and ``('feat', 3.5)`` become ``('feat', 5.5)``). The output from :class:`FeatureHasher` is always a ``scipy.sparse`` matrix in the CSR format. Feature hashing can be employed in document classification, but unlike :class:`~text.CountVectorizer`, :class:`FeatureHasher` does not do word splitting or any other preprocessing except Unicode-to-UTF-8 encoding; see :ref:`hashing\_vectorizer`, below, for a combined tokenizer/hasher. As an example, consider a word-level natural language processing task that needs features extracted from ``(token, part\_of\_speech)`` pairs. One could use a Python generator function to extract features:: def token\_features(token, part\_of\_speech): if token.isdigit(): yield "numeric" else: yield "token={}".format(token.lower()) yield "token,pos={},{}".format(token, part\_of\_speech) if token[0].isupper(): yield "uppercase\_initial" if token.isupper(): yield "all\_uppercase" yield "pos={}".format(part\_of\_speech) Then, the ``raw\_X`` to be fed to ``FeatureHasher.transform`` can be constructed using:: raw\_X = (token\_features(tok, pos\_tagger(tok)) for tok in corpus) and fed to a hasher with:: hasher = FeatureHasher(input\_type='string') X = hasher.transform(raw\_X) to get a ``scipy.sparse`` matrix ``X``. Note the use of a generator comprehension, which introduces laziness into the feature extraction: tokens are only processed on demand from the hasher. .. dropdown:: Implementation details :class:`FeatureHasher` uses the signed 32-bit variant of MurmurHash3. As a result (and because of limitations in ``scipy.sparse``), the maximum number of features supported is currently :math:`2^{31} - 1`. The original formulation of the hashing trick by Weinberger et al. used two separate hash functions :math:`h` and :math:`\xi` to determine the column index and sign of a feature, respectively. The present implementation works under the assumption that the sign bit of MurmurHash3 is independent of its other bits. Since a simple modulo is used to transform the hash function to a column index, it is advisable to use a power of two as the ``n\_features`` parameter; otherwise the features will not be mapped evenly to the columns. .. rubric:: References \* `MurmurHash3 `\_. .. rubric:: References \* Kilian Weinberger, | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

Proc. ICML. .. \_text\_feature\_extraction: Text feature extraction ======================= .. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature\_extraction.text The Bag of Words representation ------------------------------- Text Analysis is a major application field for machine learning algorithms. However the raw data, a sequence of symbols, cannot be fed directly to the algorithms themselves as most of them expect numerical feature vectors with a fixed size rather than the raw text documents with variable length. In order to address this, scikit-learn provides utilities for the most common ways to extract numerical features from text content, namely: - \*\*tokenizing\*\* strings and giving an integer id for each possible token, for instance by using white-spaces and punctuation as token separators. - \*\*counting\*\* the occurrences of tokens in each document. - \*\*normalizing\*\* and weighting with diminishing importance tokens that occur in the majority of samples / documents. In this scheme, features and samples are defined as follows: - each \*\*individual token occurrence frequency\*\* (normalized or not) is treated as a \*\*feature\*\*. - the vector of all the token frequencies for a given \*\*document\*\* is considered a multivariate \*\*sample\*\*. A corpus of documents can thus be represented by a matrix with one row per document and one column per token (e.g. word) occurring in the corpus. We call \*\*vectorization\*\* the general process of turning a collection of text documents into numerical feature vectors. This specific strategy (tokenization, counting and normalization) is called the \*\*Bag of Words\*\* or "Bag of n-grams" representation. Documents are described by word occurrences while completely ignoring the relative position information of the words in the document. Sparsity -------- As most documents will typically use a very small subset of the words used in the corpus, the resulting matrix will have many feature values that are zeros (typically more than 99% of them). For instance a collection of 10,000 short text documents (such as emails) will use a vocabulary with a size in the order of 100,000 unique words in total while each document will use 100 to 1000 unique words individually. In order to be able to store such a matrix in memory but also to speed up algebraic operations matrix / vector, implementations will typically use a sparse representation such as the implementations available in the ``scipy.sparse`` package. Common Vectorizer usage ----------------------- :class:`CountVectorizer` implements both tokenization and occurrence counting in a single class:: >>> from sklearn.feature\_extraction.text import CountVectorizer This model has many parameters, however the default values are quite reasonable (please see the :ref:`reference documentation ` for the details):: >>> vectorizer = CountVectorizer() >>> vectorizer CountVectorizer() Let's use it to tokenize and count the word occurrences of a minimalistic corpus of text documents:: >>> corpus = [ ... 'This is the first document.', ... 'This is the second second document.', ... 'And the third one.', ... 'Is this the first document?', ... ] >>> X = vectorizer.fit\_transform(corpus) >>> X The default configuration tokenizes the string by extracting words of at least 2 letters. The specific function that does this step can be requested explicitly:: >>> analyze = vectorizer.build\_analyzer() >>> analyze("This is a text document to analyze.") == ( ... ['this', 'is', 'text', 'document', 'to', 'analyze']) True Each term found by the analyzer during the fit is assigned a unique integer index | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

2 letters. The specific function that does this step can be requested explicitly:: >>> analyze = vectorizer.build\_analyzer() >>> analyze("This is a text document to analyze.") == ( ... ['this', 'is', 'text', 'document', 'to', 'analyze']) True Each term found by the analyzer during the fit is assigned a unique integer index corresponding to a column in the resulting matrix. This interpretation of the columns can be retrieved as follows:: >>> vectorizer.get\_feature\_names\_out() array(['and', 'document', 'first', 'is', 'one', 'second', 'the', 'third', 'this'], ...) >>> X.toarray() array([[0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1]]...) The converse mapping from feature name to column index is stored in the ``vocabulary\_`` attribute of the vectorizer:: >>> vectorizer.vocabulary\_.get('document') 1 Hence words that were not seen in the training corpus will be completely ignored in future calls to the transform method:: >>> vectorizer.transform(['Something completely new.']).toarray() array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]...) Note that in the previous corpus, the first and the last documents have exactly the same words hence are encoded in equal vectors. In particular we lose the information that the last document is an interrogative form. To preserve some of the local ordering information we can extract 2-grams of words in addition to the 1-grams (individual words):: >>> bigram\_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(ngram\_range=(1, 2), ... token\_pattern=r'\b\w+\b', min\_df=1) >>> analyze = bigram\_vectorizer.build\_analyzer() >>> analyze('Bi-grams are cool!') == ( ... ['bi', 'grams', 'are', 'cool', 'bi grams', 'grams are', 'are cool']) True The vocabulary extracted by this vectorizer is hence much bigger and can now resolve ambiguities encoded in local positioning patterns:: >>> X\_2 = bigram\_vectorizer.fit\_transform(corpus).toarray() >>> X\_2 array([[0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0], [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1]]...) In particular the interrogative form "Is this" is only present in the last document:: >>> feature\_index = bigram\_vectorizer.vocabulary\_.get('is this') >>> X\_2[:, feature\_index] array([0, 0, 0, 1]...) .. \_stop\_words: Using stop words ---------------- Stop words are words like "and", "the", "him", which are presumed to be uninformative in representing the content of a text, and which may be removed to avoid them being construed as informative for prediction. Sometimes, however, similar words are useful for prediction, such as in classifying writing style or personality. There are several known issues in our provided 'english' stop word list. It does not aim to be a general, 'one-size-fits-all' solution as some tasks may require a more custom solution. See [NQY18]\_ for more details. Please take care in choosing a stop word list. Popular stop word lists may include words that are highly informative to some tasks, such as \*computer\*. You should also make sure that the stop word list has had the same preprocessing and tokenization applied as the one used in the vectorizer. The word \*we've\* is split into \*we\* and \*ve\* by CountVectorizer's default tokenizer, so if \*we've\* is in ``stop\_words``, but \*ve\* is not, \*ve\* will be retained from \*we've\* in transformed text. Our vectorizers will try to identify and warn about some kinds of inconsistencies. .. rubric:: References .. [NQY18] J. Nothman, H. Qin and R.

Yurchak (2018). `"Stop Word Lists in Free Open-source Software Packages" `\_\_. In \*Proc. Workshop for NLP Open Source Software\*. .. \_tfidf: Tf–idf term weighting --------------------- In a large text corpus, some words will be very present (e.g. "the", "a", "is" in English) hence carrying very little meaningful information about the actual contents of the document. If we were to feed the direct count data directly to a classifier those very frequent terms would shadow the frequencies of rarer yet more interesting terms. In order to re-weight the count features into floating point values suitable for usage by a classifier it is very common to use the tf–idf transform. Tf means \*\*term-frequency\*\* while tf–idf means term-frequency times \*\*inverse document-frequency\*\*: :math:`\text{tf-idf(t,d)}=\text{tf(t,d)} \times \text{idf(t)}`. Using the ``TfidfTransformer``'s default settings, ``TfidfTransformer(norm='l2', use\_idf=True, smooth\_idf=True, sublinear\_tf=False)`` the term frequency, the number of times a term occurs in a given document, is multiplied with idf component, which is computed as :math:`\text{idf}(t) = \log{\frac{1 + n}{1+\text{df}(t)}} + 1`, where :math:`n` is the total number of documents in the document set, and :math:`\text{df}(t)` is the number of documents in the document set that contain term :math:`t`. The resulting tf-idf vectors are then normalized by the Euclidean norm: :math:`v\_{norm} = \frac{v}{||v||\_2} = \frac{v}{\sqrt{v{\_1}^2 + v{\_2}^2 + \dots + v{\_n}^2}}`. This was originally a term weighting scheme developed for information retrieval (as a ranking function for search engines results) that has also found good use in document classification and clustering. The following sections contain further explanations and examples that illustrate how the tf-idfs are computed exactly and how the tf-idfs computed in scikit-learn's :class:`TfidfTransformer` and :class:`TfidfVectorizer` differ slightly from the standard textbook notation that defines the idf as :math:`\text{idf}(t) = \log{\frac{n}{1+\text{df}(t)}}.` In the :class:`TfidfTransformer` and :class:`TfidfVectorizer` with ``smooth\_idf=False``, the "1" count is added to the idf instead of the idf's denominator: :math:`\text{idf}(t) = \log{\frac{n}{\text{df}(t)}} + 1` This normalization is implemented by the :class:`TfidfTransformer` class:: >>> from sklearn.feature\_extraction.text import TfidfTransformer >>> transformer = TfidfTransformer(smooth\_idf=False) >>> transformer TfidfTransformer(smooth\_idf=False) Again please see the :ref:`reference documentation ` for the details on all the parameters. .. dropdown:: Numeric example of a tf-idf matrix Let's take an example with the following counts. The first term is present 100% of the time hence not very interesting. The two other features only in less than 50% of the time hence probably more representative of the content of the documents:: >>> counts = [[3, 0, 1], ... [2, 0, 0], ... [3, 0, 0], ... [4, 0, 0], ... [3, 2, 0], ... [3, 0, 2]] ... >>> tfidf = transformer.fit\_transform(counts) >>> tfidf >>> tfidf.toarray() array([[0.81940995, 0. , 0.57320793], [1. , 0. , 0. ], [1. , 0. , 0. ], [1. , 0. , 0. ], [0.47330339, 0.88089948, 0. ], [0.58149261, 0. , 0.81355169]]) Each row is normalized to have unit Euclidean norm: :math:`v\_{norm} = \frac{v}{||v||\_2} = \frac{v}{\sqrt{v{\_1}^2 + v{\_2}^2 + \dots + v{\_n}^2}}` For example, we can compute the tf-idf of the first term in the first document in the `counts` array as follows: :math:`n = 6` :math:`\text{df}(t)\_{\text{term1}} = 6` :math:`\text{idf}(t)\_{\text{term1}} = \log \frac{n}{\text{df}(t)} + 1 = \log(1)+1 = 1` :math:`\text{tf-idf}\_{\text{term1}} = \text{tf} \times \text{idf} = 3 \times 1 = 3` Now, if we repeat this computation for the remaining 2 terms in the document, we get :math:`\text{tf-idf}\_{\text{term2}} = 0 \times (\log(6/1)+1) = 0` :math:`\text{tf-idf}\_{\text{term3}} = 1 \times (\log(6/2)+1) \approx 2.0986` | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

This can be achieved by using the ``binary`` parameter of :class:`CountVectorizer`. In particular, some estimators such as :ref:`bernoulli\_naive\_bayes` explicitly model discrete boolean random variables. Also, very short texts are likely to have noisy tf-idf values while the binary occurrence info is more stable. As usual the best way to adjust the feature extraction parameters is to use a cross-validated grid search, for instance by pipelining the feature extractor with a classifier: \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_model\_selection\_plot\_grid\_search\_text\_feature\_extraction.py` .. rubric:: Examples \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_text\_plot\_document\_classification\_20newsgroups.py`: Feature encoding using a Tf-idf-weighted document-term sparse matrix. \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_text\_plot\_hashing\_vs\_dict\_vectorizer.py`: Efficiency comparison of the different feature extractors. \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_text\_plot\_document\_clustering.py`: Document clustering and comparison with :class:`HashingVectorizer`. \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_model\_selection\_plot\_grid\_search\_text\_feature\_extraction.py`: Tuning hyperparameters of :class:`TfidfVectorizer` as part of a pipeline. Decoding text files ------------------- Text is made of characters, but files are made of bytes. These bytes represent characters according to some \*encoding\*. To work with text files in Python, their bytes must be \*decoded\* to a character set called Unicode. Common encodings are ASCII, Latin-1 (Western Europe), KOI8-R (Russian) and the universal encodings UTF-8 and UTF-16. Many others exist. .. note:: An encoding can also be called a 'character set', but this term is less accurate: several encodings can exist for a single character set. The text feature extractors in scikit-learn know how to decode text files, but only if you tell them what encoding the files are in. The :class:`CountVectorizer` takes an ``encoding`` parameter for this purpose. For modern text files, the correct encoding is probably UTF-8, which is therefore the default (``encoding="utf-8"``). If the text you are loading is not actually encoded with UTF-8, however, you will get a ``UnicodeDecodeError``. The vectorizers can be told to be silent about decoding errors by setting the ``decode\_error`` parameter to either ``"ignore"`` or ``"replace"``. See the documentation for the Python function ``bytes.decode`` for more details (type ``help(bytes.decode)`` at the Python prompt). .. dropdown:: Troubleshooting decoding text If you are having trouble decoding text, | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

The vectorizers can be told to be silent about decoding errors by setting the ``decode\_error`` parameter to either ``"ignore"`` or ``"replace"``. See the documentation for the Python function ``bytes.decode`` for more details (type ``help(bytes.decode)`` at the Python prompt). .. dropdown:: Troubleshooting decoding text If you are having trouble decoding text, here are some things to try: - Find out what the actual encoding of the text is. The file might come with a header or README that tells you the encoding, or there might be some standard encoding you can assume based on where the text comes from. - You may be able to find out what kind of encoding it is in general using the UNIX command ``file``. The Python ``chardet`` module comes with a script called ``chardetect.py`` that will guess the specific encoding, though you cannot rely on its guess being correct. - You could try UTF-8 and disregard the errors. You can decode byte strings with ``bytes.decode(errors='replace')`` to replace all decoding errors with a meaningless character, or set ``decode\_error='replace'`` in the vectorizer. This may damage the usefulness of your features. - Real text may come from a variety of sources that may have used different encodings, or even be sloppily decoded in a different encoding than the one it was encoded with. This is common in text retrieved from the Web. The Python package `ftfy `\_\_ can automatically sort out some classes of decoding errors, so you could try decoding the unknown text as ``latin-1`` and then using ``ftfy`` to fix errors. - If the text is in a mish-mash of encodings that is simply too hard to sort out (which is the case for the 20 Newsgroups dataset), you can fall back on a simple single-byte encoding such as ``latin-1``. Some text may display incorrectly, but at least the same sequence of bytes will always represent the same feature. For example, the following snippet uses ``chardet`` (not shipped with scikit-learn, must be installed separately) to figure out the encoding of three texts. It then vectorizes the texts and prints the learned vocabulary. The output is not shown here. >>> import chardet # doctest: +SKIP >>> text1 = b"Sei mir gegr\xc3\xbc\xc3\x9ft mein Sauerkraut" >>> text2 = b"holdselig sind deine Ger\xfcche" >>> text3 = b"\xff\xfeA\x00u\x00f\x00 \x00F\x00l\x00\xfc\x00g\x00e\x00l\x00n\x00 \x00d\x00e\x00s\x00 \x00G\x00e\x00s\x00a\x00n\x00g\x00e\x00s\x00,\x00 \x00H\x00e\x00r\x00z\x00l\x00i\x00e\x00b\x00c\x00h\x00e\x00n\x00,\x00 \x00t\x00r\x00a\x00g\x00 \x00i\x00c\x00h\x00 \x00d\x00i\x00c\x00h\x00 \x00f\x00o\x00r\x00t\x00" >>> decoded = [x.decode(chardet.detect(x)['encoding']) ... for x in (text1, text2, text3)] # doctest: +SKIP >>> v = CountVectorizer().fit(decoded).vocabulary\_ # doctest: +SKIP >>> for term in v: print(v) # doctest: +SKIP (Depending on the version of ``chardet``, it might get the first one wrong.) For an introduction to Unicode and character encodings in general, see Joel Spolsky's `Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode `\_. Applications and examples ------------------------- The bag of words representation is quite simplistic but surprisingly useful in practice. In particular in a \*\*supervised setting\*\* it can be successfully combined with fast and scalable linear models to train \*\*document classifiers\*\*, for instance: \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_text\_plot\_document\_classification\_20newsgroups.py` In an \*\*unsupervised setting\*\* it can be used to group similar documents together by applying clustering algorithms such as :ref:`k\_means`: \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_text\_plot\_document\_clustering.py` Finally it is possible to discover the main topics of a corpus by relaxing the hard assignment constraint of clustering, for instance by using :ref:`NMF`: \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_applications\_plot\_topics\_extraction\_with\_nmf\_lda.py` Limitations of the Bag of Words representation ---------------------------------------------- A collection of unigrams (what bag of words is) cannot capture phrases and multi-word expressions, effectively disregarding any word order dependence.

A collection of unigrams (what bag of words is) cannot capture phrases and multi-word expressions, effectively disregarding any word order dependence. Additionally, the bag of words model doesn't account for potential misspellings or word derivations. N-grams to the rescue! Instead of building a simple collection of unigrams (n=1), one might prefer a collection of bigrams (n=2), where occurrences of pairs of consecutive words are counted. One might alternatively consider a collection of character n-grams, a representation resilient against misspellings and derivations. For example, let's say we're dealing with a corpus of two documents: ``['words', 'wprds']``. The second document contains a misspelling of the word 'words'. A simple bag of words representation would consider these two as very distinct documents, differing in both of the two possible features. A character 2-gram representation, however, would find the documents matching in 4 out of 8 features, which may help the preferred classifier decide better:: >>> ngram\_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(analyzer='char\_wb', ngram\_range=(2, 2)) >>> counts = ngram\_vectorizer.fit\_transform(['words', 'wprds']) >>> ngram\_vectorizer.get\_feature\_names\_out() array([' w', 'ds', 'or', 'pr', 'rd', 's ', 'wo', 'wp'], ...) >>> counts.toarray().astype(int) array([[1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1]]) In the above example, ``char\_wb`` analyzer is used, which creates n-grams only from characters inside word boundaries (padded with space on each side). The ``char`` analyzer, alternatively, creates n-grams that span across words:: >>> ngram\_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(analyzer='char\_wb', ngram\_range=(5, 5)) >>> ngram\_vectorizer.fit\_transform(['jumpy fox']) >>> ngram\_vectorizer.get\_feature\_names\_out() array([' fox ', ' jump', 'jumpy', 'umpy '], ...) >>> ngram\_vectorizer = CountVectorizer(analyzer='char', ngram\_range=(5, 5)) >>> ngram\_vectorizer.fit\_transform(['jumpy fox']) >>> ngram\_vectorizer.get\_feature\_names\_out() array(['jumpy', 'mpy f', 'py fo', 'umpy ', 'y fox'], ...) The word boundaries-aware variant ``char\_wb`` is especially interesting for languages that use white-spaces for word separation as it generates significantly less noisy features than the raw ``char`` variant in that case. For such languages it can increase both the predictive accuracy and convergence speed of classifiers trained using such features while retaining the robustness with regards to misspellings and word derivations. While some local positioning information can be preserved by extracting n-grams instead of individual words, bag of words and bag of n-grams destroy most of the inner structure of the document and hence most of the meaning carried by that internal structure. In order to address the wider task of Natural Language Understanding, the local structure of sentences and paragraphs should thus be taken into account. Many such models will thus be casted as "Structured output" problems which are currently outside of the scope of scikit-learn. .. \_hashing\_vectorizer: Vectorizing a large text corpus with the hashing trick ------------------------------------------------------ The above vectorization scheme is simple but the fact that it holds an \*\*in-memory mapping from the string tokens to the integer feature indices\*\* (the ``vocabulary\_`` attribute) causes several \*\*problems when dealing with large datasets\*\*: - the larger the corpus, the larger the vocabulary will grow and hence the memory use too, - fitting requires the allocation of intermediate data structures of size proportional to that of the original dataset. - building the word-mapping requires a full pass over the dataset hence it is not possible to fit text classifiers in a strictly online manner. - pickling and un-pickling vectorizers with a large ``vocabulary\_`` can be very slow (typically much slower than pickling / un-pickling flat data structures such as a NumPy array of the same size), - it is not easily possible to split the vectorization work into concurrent sub tasks as the ``vocabulary\_`` attribute would have to be a shared state with a fine grained synchronization barrier: the mapping from token string to feature index is dependent on the ordering of the | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

the same size), - it is not easily possible to split the vectorization work into concurrent sub tasks as the ``vocabulary\_`` attribute would have to be a shared state with a fine grained synchronization barrier: the mapping from token string to feature index is dependent on the ordering of the first occurrence of each token hence would have to be shared, potentially harming the concurrent workers' performance to the point of making them slower than the sequential variant. It is possible to overcome those limitations by combining the "hashing trick" (:ref:`Feature\_hashing`) implemented by the :class:`~sklearn.feature\_extraction.FeatureHasher` class and the text preprocessing and tokenization features of the :class:`CountVectorizer`. This combination is implemented in :class:`HashingVectorizer`, a transformer class that is mostly API compatible with :class:`CountVectorizer`. :class:`HashingVectorizer` is stateless, meaning that you don't have to call ``fit`` on it:: >>> from sklearn.feature\_extraction.text import HashingVectorizer >>> hv = HashingVectorizer(n\_features=10) >>> hv.transform(corpus) You can see that 16 non-zero feature tokens were extracted in the vector output: this is less than the 19 non-zeros extracted previously by the :class:`CountVectorizer` on the same toy corpus. The discrepancy comes from hash function collisions because of the low value of the ``n\_features`` parameter. In a real world setting, the ``n\_features`` parameter can be left to its default value of ``2 \*\* 20`` (roughly one million possible features). If memory or downstream models size is an issue selecting a lower value such as ``2 \*\* 18`` might help without introducing too many additional collisions on typical text classification tasks. Note that the dimensionality does not affect the CPU training time of algorithms which operate on CSR matrices (``LinearSVC(dual=True)``, ``Perceptron``, ``SGDClassifier``) but it does for algorithms that work with CSC matrices (``LinearSVC(dual=False)``, ``Lasso()``, etc.). Let's try again with the default setting:: >>> hv = HashingVectorizer() >>> hv.transform(corpus) We no longer get the collisions, but this comes at the expense of a much larger dimensionality of the output space. Of course, other terms than the 19 used here might still collide with each other. The :class:`HashingVectorizer` also comes with the following limitations: - it is not possible to invert the model (no ``inverse\_transform`` method), nor to access the original string representation of the features, because of the one-way nature of the hash function that performs the mapping. - it does not provide IDF weighting as that would introduce statefulness in the model. A :class:`TfidfTransformer` can be appended to it in a pipeline if required. .. dropdown:: Performing out-of-core scaling with HashingVectorizer An interesting development of using a :class:`HashingVectorizer` is the ability to perform `out-of-core`\_ scaling. This means that we can learn from data that does not fit into the computer's main memory. .. \_out-of-core: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-core\_algorithm A strategy to implement out-of-core scaling is to stream data to the estimator in mini-batches. Each mini-batch is vectorized using :class:`HashingVectorizer` so as to guarantee that the input space of the estimator has always the same dimensionality. The amount of memory used at any time is thus bounded by the size of a mini-batch. Although there is no limit to the amount of data that can be ingested using such an approach, from a practical point of view the learning time is often limited by the CPU time one wants to spend on the task. For a full-fledged example of out-of-core scaling in a text classification task see :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_applications\_plot\_out\_of\_core\_classification.py`. Customizing the vectorizer classes ---------------------------------- It is possible to customize the behavior by passing a callable to the vectorizer constructor:: >>> def my\_tokenizer(s): ... return s.split() ... >>> vectorizer = CountVectorizer(tokenizer=my\_tokenizer) >>> vectorizer.build\_analyzer()(u"Some... punctuation!") == ( ... ['some...', 'punctuation!']) True In particular we name: \* ``preprocessor``: a callable that | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

:ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_applications\_plot\_out\_of\_core\_classification.py`. Customizing the vectorizer classes ---------------------------------- It is possible to customize the behavior by passing a callable to the vectorizer constructor:: >>> def my\_tokenizer(s): ... return s.split() ... >>> vectorizer = CountVectorizer(tokenizer=my\_tokenizer) >>> vectorizer.build\_analyzer()(u"Some... punctuation!") == ( ... ['some...', 'punctuation!']) True In particular we name: \* ``preprocessor``: a callable that takes an entire document as input (as a single string), and returns a possibly transformed version of the document, still as an entire string. This can be used to remove HTML tags, lowercase the entire document, etc. \* ``tokenizer``: a callable that takes the output from the preprocessor and splits it into tokens, then returns a list of these. \* ``analyzer``: a callable that replaces the preprocessor and tokenizer. The default analyzers all call the preprocessor and tokenizer, but custom analyzers will skip this. N-gram extraction and stop word filtering take place at the analyzer level, so a custom analyzer may have to reproduce these steps. (Lucene users might recognize these names, but be aware that scikit-learn concepts may not map one-to-one onto Lucene concepts.) To make the preprocessor, tokenizer and analyzers aware of the model parameters it is possible to derive from the class and override the ``build\_preprocessor``, ``build\_tokenizer`` and ``build\_analyzer`` factory methods instead of passing custom functions. .. dropdown:: Tips and tricks :color: success \* If documents are pre-tokenized by an external package, then store them in files (or strings) with the tokens separated by whitespace and pass ``analyzer=str.split`` \* Fancy token-level analysis such as stemming, lemmatizing, compound splitting, filtering based on part-of-speech, etc. are not included in the scikit-learn codebase, but can be added by customizing either the tokenizer or the analyzer. Here's a ``CountVectorizer`` with a tokenizer and lemmatizer using `NLTK `\_:: >>> from nltk import word\_tokenize # doctest: +SKIP >>> from nltk.stem import WordNetLemmatizer # doctest: +SKIP >>> class LemmaTokenizer: ... def \_\_init\_\_(self): ... self.wnl = WordNetLemmatizer() ... def \_\_call\_\_(self, doc): ... return [self.wnl.lemmatize(t) for t in word\_tokenize(doc)] ... >>> vect = CountVectorizer(tokenizer=LemmaTokenizer()) # doctest: +SKIP (Note that this will not filter out punctuation.) The following example will, for instance, transform some British spelling to American spelling:: >>> import re >>> def to\_british(tokens): ... for t in tokens: ... t = re.sub(r"(...)our$", r"\1or", t) ... t = re.sub(r"([bt])re$", r"\1er", t) ... t = re.sub(r"([iy])s(e$|ing|ation)", r"\1z\2", t) ... t = re.sub(r"ogue$", "og", t) ... yield t ... >>> class CustomVectorizer(CountVectorizer): ... def build\_tokenizer(self): ... tokenize = super().build\_tokenizer() ... return lambda doc: list(to\_british(tokenize(doc))) ... >>> print(CustomVectorizer().build\_analyzer()(u"color colour")) [...'color', ...'color'] for other styles of preprocessing; examples include stemming, lemmatization, or normalizing numerical tokens, with the latter illustrated in: \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_bicluster\_plot\_bicluster\_newsgroups.py` Customizing the vectorizer can also be useful when handling Asian languages that do not use an explicit word separator such as whitespace. .. \_image\_feature\_extraction: Image feature extraction ======================== .. currentmodule:: sklearn.feature\_extraction.image Patch extraction ---------------- The :func:`extract\_patches\_2d` function extracts patches from an image stored as a two-dimensional array, or three-dimensional with color information along the third axis. For rebuilding an image from all its patches, use :func:`reconstruct\_from\_patches\_2d`. For example let us generate a 4x4 pixel picture with 3 color channels (e.g. in RGB format):: >>> import numpy as np >>> from sklearn.feature\_extraction import image >>> one\_image = np.arange(4 \* 4 \* 3).reshape((4, 4, 3)) >>> one\_image[:, :, 0] # R channel of a fake RGB picture array([[ 0, 3, 6, 9], [12, 15, 18, 21], [24, 27, 30, 33], [36, 39, 42, 45]]) >>> patches = image.extract\_patches\_2d(one\_image, (2, 2), max\_patches=2, ... random\_state=0) >>> patches.shape (2, 2, 2, 3) >>> patches[:, :, :, 0] array([[[ 0, 3], [12, 15]], [[15, 18], [27, 30]]]) >>> patches = image.extract\_patches\_2d(one\_image, (2, 2)) >>> | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

It is implemented as a scikit-learn transformer, so it can be used in pipelines. See:: >>> five\_images = np.arange(5 \* 4 \* 4 \* 3).reshape(5, 4, 4, 3) >>> patches = image.PatchExtractor(patch\_size=(2, 2)).transform(five\_images) >>> patches.shape (45, 2, 2, 3) .. \_connectivity\_graph\_image: Connectivity graph of an image ------------------------------- Several estimators in scikit-learn can use connectivity information between features or samples. For instance Ward clustering (:ref:`hierarchical\_clustering`) can cluster together only neighboring pixels of an image, thus forming contiguous patches: .. figure:: ../auto\_examples/cluster/images/sphx\_glr\_plot\_coin\_ward\_segmentation\_001.png :target: ../auto\_examples/cluster/plot\_coin\_ward\_segmentation.html :align: center :scale: 40 For this purpose, the estimators use a 'connectivity' matrix, giving which samples are connected. The function :func:`img\_to\_graph` returns such a matrix from a 2D or 3D image. Similarly, :func:`grid\_to\_graph` builds a connectivity matrix for images given the shape of these images. These matrices can be used to impose connectivity in estimators that use connectivity information, such as Ward clustering (:ref:`hierarchical\_clustering`), but also to build precomputed kernels, or similarity matrices. .. note:: \*\*Examples\*\* \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_cluster\_plot\_coin\_ward\_segmentation.py` \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_cluster\_plot\_segmentation\_toy.py` \* :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_cluster\_plot\_feature\_agglomeration\_vs\_univariate\_selection.py` | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/modules/feature_extraction.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

See also :ref:`related\_projects`. .. \_new\_contributors: New Contributors ---------------- We recommend new contributors start by reading this contributing guide, in particular :ref:`ways\_to\_contribute`, :ref:`automated\_contributions\_policy`. Next, we advise new contributors gain foundational knowledge on scikit-learn and open source by: \* :ref:`improving and investigating issues ` \* confirming that a problem reported can be reproduced and providing a :ref:`minimal reproducible code ` (if missing), can help you learn about different use cases and user needs \* investigating the root cause of an issue will aid you in familiarising yourself with the scikit-learn codebase \* :ref:`reviewing other developers' pull requests ` will help you develop an understanding of the requirements and quality expected of contributions \* improving the :ref:`contribute\_documentation` can help deepen your knowledge of the statistical concepts behind models and functions, and scikit-learn API If you wish to make code contributions after building your foundational knowledge, we recommend you start by looking for an issue that is of interest to you, in an area you are already familiar with as a user or have background knowledge of. We recommend starting with smaller pull requests and following our :ref:`pr\_checklist`. For expected etiquette around which issues and stalled PRs to work on, please read :ref:`stalled\_pull\_request`, :ref:`stalled\_unclaimed\_issues` and :ref:`issues\_tagged\_needs\_triage`. We rarely use the "good first issue" label because it is difficult to make assumptions about new contributors and these issues often prove more complex than originally anticipated. It is still useful to check if there are `"good first issues" `\_, though note that these may still be time consuming to solve, depending on your prior experience. For more experienced scikit-learn contributors, issues labeled `"Easy" `\_ may be a good place to look. .. \_automated\_contributions\_policy: Automated Contributions Policy ============================== Contributing to scikit-learn requires human judgment, contextual understanding, and familiarity with scikit-learn's structure and goals. It is not suitable for automatic processing by AI tools. Please refrain from submitting issues or pull requests generated by fully-automated tools. Maintainers reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to close such submissions and to block any account responsible for them. Review all code or documentation changes made by AI tools and make sure you understand all changes and can explain them on request, before submitting them under your name. Do not submit any AI-generated code that you haven't personally reviewed, understood and tested, as this wastes maintainers' time. Please do not paste AI generated text in the description of issues, PRs or in comments as this makes it harder for reviewers to assess your contribution. We are happy for it to be used to improve grammar or if you are not a native English speaker. If you used AI tools, please state so in your PR description. PRs that appear to violate this policy will be closed without review. .. \_submitting\_bug\_feature: Submitting a bug report or a feature request ============================================ We use GitHub issues to track all bugs and feature requests; feel free to open an issue if you have found a bug or wish to see a feature implemented.

It is recommended to check that your issue complies with the following rules before submitting: - Verify that your issue is not being currently addressed by other `issues `\_ or `pull requests `\_. - If you are submitting an algorithm or feature request, please verify that the algorithm fulfills our `new algorithm requirements `\_. - If you are submitting a bug report, we strongly encourage you to follow the guidelines in :ref:`filing\_bugs`. When a feature request involves changes to the API principles or changes to dependencies or supported versions, it must be backed by a :ref:`SLEP `, which must be submitted as a pull-request to `enhancement proposals `\_ using the `SLEP template `\_ and follows the decision-making process outlined in :ref:`governance`. .. \_filing\_bugs: How to make a good bug report ----------------------------- When you submit an issue to `GitHub `\_\_, please do your best to follow these guidelines! This will make it a lot easier to provide you with good feedback: - The ideal bug report contains a :ref:`short reproducible code snippet `, this way anyone can try to reproduce the bug easily. If your snippet is longer than around 50 lines, please link to a `Gist `\_ or a GitHub repo. - If not feasible to include a reproducible snippet, please be specific about what \*\*estimators and/or functions are involved and the shape of the data\*\*. - If an exception is raised, please \*\*provide the full traceback\*\*. - Please include your \*\*operating system type and version number\*\*, as well as your \*\*Python, scikit-learn, numpy, and scipy versions\*\*. This information can be found by running: .. prompt:: bash python -c "import sklearn; sklearn.show\_versions()" - Please ensure all \*\*code snippets and error messages are formatted in appropriate code blocks\*\*. See `Creating and highlighting code blocks `\_ for more details. If you want to help curate issues, read about :ref:`bug\_triaging`. Contributing code and documentation =================================== The preferred way to contribute to scikit-learn is to fork the `main repository `\_\_ on GitHub, then submit a "pull request" (PR). To get started, you need to #. :ref:`setup\_development\_environment` #. Find an issue to work on (see :ref:`new\_contributors`) #. Follow the :ref:`development\_workflow` #. Make sure, you noted the :ref:`pr\_checklist` If you want to contribute :ref:`contribute\_documentation`, make sure you are able to :ref:`build it locally `, before submitting a PR. .. note:: To avoid duplicating work, it is highly advised that you search through the `issue tracker `\_ and the `PR list `\_. If in doubt about duplicated work, or if you want to work on a non-trivial feature, it's recommended to first open an issue in the `issue tracker `\_ to get some feedback from core developers. One easy way to find an issue to work on is by applying the "help wanted" label in your search. This lists all the issues that have been unclaimed so far. If you'd like to work on such issue, leave a comment with your idea of how you plan to approach it, and start working on it. If somebody else has already said they'd be working on the issue in the past 2-3 weeks, please let them finish their work, otherwise consider it stalled and take it over.

Synchronize your ``main`` branch with the ``upstream/main`` branch, more details on `GitHub Docs `\_: .. prompt:: bash git checkout main git fetch upstream git merge upstream/main #. Create a feature branch to hold your development changes: .. prompt:: bash git checkout -b my\_feature and start making changes. Always use a feature branch. It's good practice to never work on the ``main`` branch! #. Develop the feature on your feature branch on your computer, using Git to do the version control. When you're done editing, add changed files using ``git add`` and then ``git commit``: .. prompt:: bash git add modified\_files git commit .. note:: :ref:`pre-commit ` may reformat your code automatically when you do `git commit`. When this happens, you need to do `git add` followed by `git commit` again. In some rarer cases, you may need to fix things manually, use the error message to figure out what needs to be changed, and use `git add` followed by `git commit` until the commit is successful. Then push the changes to your GitHub account with: .. prompt:: bash git push -u origin my\_feature #. Follow `these `\_ instructions to create a pull request from your fork. This will send a notification to potential reviewers. You may want to consider sending a message to the `discord `\_ in the development channel for more visibility if your pull request does not receive attention after a couple of days (instant replies are not guaranteed though). It is often helpful to keep your local feature branch synchronized with the latest changes of the main scikit-learn repository: .. prompt:: bash git fetch upstream git merge upstream/main Subsequently, you might need to solve the conflicts. You can refer to the `Git documentation related to resolving merge conflict using the command line `\_. .. topic:: Learning Git The `Git documentation `\_ and https://try.github.io are excellent resources to get started with git, and understanding all of the commands shown here. .. \_pr\_checklist: Pull request checklist ---------------------- Before a PR can be merged, it needs to be approved by two core developers. An incomplete contribution -- where you expect to do more work before receiving a full review -- should be marked as a `draft pull request `\_\_ and changed to "ready for review" when it matures. Draft PRs may be useful to: indicate you are working on something to avoid duplicated work, request broad review of functionality or API, or seek collaborators. Draft PRs often benefit from the inclusion of a `task list `\_ in the PR description. In order to ease the reviewing process, we recommend that your contribution complies with the following rules before marking a PR as "ready for review". The \*\*bolded\*\* ones are especially important: 1. \*\*Give your pull request a helpful title\*\* that summarizes what your contribution does. This title will often become the commit message once merged so it should summarize your contribution for posterity. In some cases "Fix " is enough. "Fix #" is never a good title. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/contributing.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

ones are especially important: 1. \*\*Give your pull request a helpful title\*\* that summarizes what your contribution does. This title will often become the commit message once merged so it should summarize your contribution for posterity. In some cases "Fix " is enough. "Fix #" is never a good title. 2. \*\*Make sure your code passes the tests\*\*. The whole test suite can be run with `pytest`, but it is usually not recommended since it takes a long time. It is often enough to only run the test related to your changes: for example, if you changed something in `sklearn/linear\_model/\_logistic.py`, running the following commands will usually be enough: - `pytest sklearn/linear\_model/\_logistic.py` to make sure the doctest examples are correct - `pytest sklearn/linear\_model/tests/test\_logistic.py` to run the tests specific to the file - `pytest sklearn/linear\_model` to test the whole :mod:`~sklearn.linear\_model` module - `pytest doc/modules/linear\_model.rst` to make sure the user guide examples are correct. - `pytest sklearn/tests/test\_common.py -k LogisticRegression` to run all our estimator checks (specifically for `LogisticRegression`, if that's the estimator you changed). There may be other failing tests, but they will be caught by the CI so you don't need to run the whole test suite locally. For guidelines on how to use ``pytest`` efficiently, see the :ref:`pytest\_tips`. 3. \*\*Make sure your code is properly commented and documented\*\*, and \*\*make sure the documentation renders properly\*\*. To build the documentation, please refer to our :ref:`contribute\_documentation` guidelines. The CI will also build the docs: please refer to :ref:`generated\_doc\_CI`. 4. \*\*Tests are necessary for enhancements to be accepted\*\*. Bug-fixes or new features should be provided with non-regression tests. These tests verify the correct behavior of the fix or feature. In this manner, further modifications on the code base are granted to be consistent with the desired behavior. In the case of bug fixes, at the time of the PR, the non-regression tests should fail for the code base in the ``main`` branch and pass for the PR code. 5. If your PR is likely to affect users, you need to add a changelog entry describing your PR changes. See the `README `\_ for more details. 6. Follow the :ref:`coding-guidelines`. 7. When applicable, use the validation tools and scripts in the :mod:`sklearn.utils` module. A list of utility routines available for developers can be found in the :ref:`developers-utils` page. 8. Often pull requests resolve one or more other issues (or pull requests). If merging your pull request means that some other issues/PRs should be closed, you should `use keywords to create link to them `\_ (e.g., ``Fixes #1234``; multiple issues/PRs are allowed as long as each one is preceded by a keyword). Upon merging, those issues/PRs will automatically be closed by GitHub. If your pull request is simply related to some other issues/PRs, or it only partially resolves the target issue, create a link to them without using the keywords (e.g., ``Towards #1234``). 9. PRs should often substantiate the change, through benchmarks of performance and efficiency (see :ref:`monitoring\_performances`) or through examples of usage. Examples also illustrate the features and intricacies of the library to users. Have a look at other examples in the `examples/ `\_ directory for reference. Examples should demonstrate why the new functionality is useful in practice and, if possible, compare it to other methods available in scikit-learn. 10. New features have some maintenance overhead. We expect PR authors to take part in the maintenance for the code they submit, at least initially. New features need to be illustrated with narrative documentation in the user guide, with small code snippets. If relevant, please also add references in the literature, with PDF links when possible. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/contributing.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

overhead. We expect PR authors to take part in the maintenance for the code they submit, at least initially. New features need to be illustrated with narrative documentation in the user guide, with small code snippets. If relevant, please also add references in the literature, with PDF links when possible. 11. The user guide should also include expected time and space complexity of the algorithm and scalability, e.g. "this algorithm can scale to a large number of samples > 100000, but does not scale in dimensionality: `n\_features` is expected to be lower than 100". You can also check our :ref:`code\_review` to get an idea of what reviewers will expect. You can check for common programming errors with the following tools: \* Code with a good unit test coverage (at least 80%, better 100%), check with: .. prompt:: bash pip install pytest pytest-cov pytest --cov sklearn path/to/tests See also :ref:`testing\_coverage`. \* Run static analysis with `mypy`: .. prompt:: bash mypy sklearn This must not produce new errors in your pull request. Using `# type: ignore` annotation can be a workaround for a few cases that are not supported by mypy, in particular, - when importing C or Cython modules, - on properties with decorators. Bonus points for contributions that include a performance analysis with a benchmark script and profiling output (see :ref:`monitoring\_performances`). Also check out the :ref:`performance-howto` guide for more details on profiling and Cython optimizations. .. note:: The current state of the scikit-learn code base is not compliant with all of those guidelines, but we expect that enforcing those constraints on all new contributions will get the overall code base quality in the right direction. .. seealso:: For two very well documented and more detailed guides on development workflow, please pay a visit to the `Scipy Development Workflow `\_ - and the `Astropy Workflow for Developers `\_ sections. Continuous Integration (CI) --------------------------- \* Azure pipelines are used for testing scikit-learn on Linux, Mac and Windows, with different dependencies and settings. \* CircleCI is used to build the docs for viewing. \* Github Actions are used for various tasks, including building wheels and source distributions. .. \_commit\_markers: Commit message markers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Please note that if one of the following markers appears in the latest commit message, the following actions are taken. ====================== =================== Commit Message Marker Action Taken by CI ====================== =================== [ci skip] CI is skipped completely [cd build] CD is run (wheels and source distribution are built) [lint skip] Azure pipeline skips linting [scipy-dev] Build & test with our dependencies (numpy, scipy, etc.) development builds [free-threaded] Build & test with CPython 3.14 free-threaded [pyodide] Build & test with Pyodide [float32] Run float32 tests by setting `SKLEARN\_RUN\_FLOAT32\_TESTS=1`.

Note that this only fixes conflicts in environment and lock files and you might have other conflicts to resolve. Finally, we have to re-generate the environment and lock files for the CIs by running: .. prompt:: bash python build\_tools/update\_environments\_and\_lock\_files.py .. \_stalled\_pull\_request: Stalled pull requests --------------------- As contributing a feature can be a lengthy process, some pull requests appear inactive but unfinished. In such a case, taking them over is a great service for the project. A good etiquette to take over is: \* \*\*Determine if a PR is stalled\*\* \* A pull request may have the label "stalled" or "help wanted" if we have already identified it as a candidate for other contributors. \* To decide whether an inactive PR is stalled, ask the contributor if she/he plans to continue working on the PR in the near future. Failure to respond within 2 weeks with an activity that moves the PR forward suggests that the PR is stalled and will result in tagging that PR with "help wanted". Note that if a PR has received earlier comments on the contribution that have had no reply in a month, it is safe to assume that the PR is stalled and to shorten the wait time to one day. After a sprint, follow-up for un-merged PRs opened during sprint will be communicated to participants at the sprint, and those PRs will be tagged "sprint". PRs tagged with "sprint" can be reassigned or declared stalled by sprint leaders. \* \*\*Taking over a stalled PR\*\*: To take over a PR, it is important to comment on the stalled PR that you are taking over and to link from the new PR to the old one. The new PR should be created by pulling from the old one. .. \_stalled\_unclaimed\_issues: Stalled and Unclaimed Issues ---------------------------- Generally speaking, issues which are up for grabs will have a `"help wanted" `\_. tag. However, not all issues which need contributors will have this tag, as the "help wanted" tag is not always up-to-date with the state of the issue. Contributors can find issues which are still up for grabs using the following guidelines: \* First, to \*\*determine if an issue is claimed\*\*: \* Check for linked pull requests \* Check the conversation to see if anyone has said that they're working on creating a pull request \* If a contributor comments on an issue to say they are working on it, a pull request is expected within 2 weeks (new contributor) or 4 weeks (contributor or core dev), unless a larger time frame is explicitly given. Beyond that time, another contributor can take the issue and make a pull request for it. We encourage contributors to comment directly on the stalled or unclaimed issue to let community members know that they will be working on it. \* If the issue is linked to a :ref:`stalled pull request `, we recommend that contributors follow the procedure described in the :ref:`stalled\_pull\_request` section rather than working directly on the issue. .. \_issues\_tagged\_needs\_triage: Issues tagged "Needs Triage" ---------------------------- The `"Needs Triage" `\_ label means that the issue is not yet confirmed or fully understood.

These videos were created prior to the renaming of the branch. For contributors who are viewing these videos to set up their working environment and submitting a PR, ``master`` should be replaced to ``main``. .. \_contribute\_documentation: Documentation ============= We welcome thoughtful contributions to the documentation and are happy to review additions in the following areas: \* \*\*Function/method/class docstrings:\*\* Also known as "API documentation", these describe what the object does and detail any parameters, attributes and methods. Docstrings live alongside the code in `sklearn/ `\_, and are generated according to `doc/api\_reference.py `\_. To add, update, remove, or deprecate a public API that is listed in :ref:`api\_ref`, this is the place to look at. \* \*\*User guide:\*\* These provide more detailed information about the algorithms implemented in scikit-learn and generally live in the root `doc/ `\_ directory and `doc/modules/ `\_. \* \*\*Examples:\*\* These provide full code examples that may demonstrate the use of scikit-learn modules, compare different algorithms or discuss their interpretation, etc. Examples live in `examples/ `\_. \* \*\*Other reStructuredText documents:\*\* These provide various other useful information (e.g., the :ref:`contributing` guide) and live in `doc/ `\_. .. dropdown:: Guidelines for writing docstrings \* You can use `pytest` to test docstrings, e.g. assuming the `RandomForestClassifier` docstring has been modified, the following command would test its docstring compliance: .. prompt:: bash pytest --doctest-modules sklearn/ensemble/\_forest.py -k RandomForestClassifier \* The correct order of sections is: Parameters, Returns, See Also, Notes, Examples. See the `numpydoc documentation `\_ for information on other possible sections. \* When documenting the parameters and attributes, here is a list of some well-formatted examples .. code-block:: text n\_clusters : int, default=3 The number of clusters detected by the algorithm. some\_param : {"hello", "goodbye"}, bool or int, default=True The parameter description goes here, which can be either a string literal (either `hello` or `goodbye`), a bool, or an int. The default value is True. array\_parameter : {array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n\_samples, n\_features) \ or (n\_samples,) This parameter accepts data in either of the mentioned forms, with one of the mentioned shapes. The default value is `np.ones(shape=(n\_samples,))`. list\_param : list of int typed\_ndarray : ndarray of shape (n\_samples,), dtype=np.int32 sample\_weight : array-like of shape (n\_samples,), default=None multioutput\_array : ndarray of shape (n\_samples, n\_classes) or list of such arrays In general have the following in mind: \* Use Python basic types.

(``bool`` instead of ``boolean``) \* Use parenthesis for defining shapes: ``array-like of shape (n\_samples,)`` or ``array-like of shape (n\_samples, n\_features)`` \* For strings with multiple options, use brackets: ``input: {'log', 'squared', 'multinomial'}`` \* 1D or 2D data can be a subset of ``{array-like, ndarray, sparse matrix, dataframe}``. Note that ``array-like`` can also be a ``list``, while ``ndarray`` is explicitly only a ``numpy.ndarray``. \* Specify ``dataframe`` when "frame-like" features are being used, such as the column names. \* When specifying the data type of a list, use ``of`` as a delimiter: ``list of int``. When the parameter supports arrays giving details about the shape and/or data type and a list of such arrays, you can use one of ``array-like of shape (n\_samples,) or list of such arrays``. \* When specifying the dtype of an ndarray, use e.g. ``dtype=np.int32`` after defining the shape: ``ndarray of shape (n\_samples,), dtype=np.int32``. You can specify multiple dtype as a set: ``array-like of shape (n\_samples,), dtype={np.float64, np.float32}``. If one wants to mention arbitrary precision, use `integral` and `floating` rather than the Python dtype `int` and `float`. When both `int` and `floating` are supported, there is no need to specify the dtype. \* When the default is ``None``, ``None`` only needs to be specified at the end with ``default=None``. Be sure to include in the docstring, what it means for the parameter or attribute to be ``None``. \* Add "See Also" in docstrings for related classes/functions. \* "See Also" in docstrings should be one line per reference, with a colon and an explanation, for example: .. code-block:: text See Also -------- SelectKBest : Select features based on the k highest scores. SelectFpr : Select features based on a false positive rate test. \* The "Notes" section is optional. It is meant to provide information on specific behavior of a function/class/classmethod/method. \* A `Note` can also be added to an attribute, but in that case it requires using the `.. rubric:: Note` directive. \* Add one or two \*\*snippets\*\* of code in "Example" section to show how it can be used. The code should be runable as is, i.e. it should include all required imports. Keep this section as brief as possible. .. dropdown:: Guidelines for writing the user guide and other reStructuredText documents It is important to keep a good compromise between mathematical and algorithmic details, and give intuition to the reader on what the algorithm does. \* Begin with a concise, hand-waving explanation of what the algorithm/code does on the data. \* Highlight the usefulness of the feature and its recommended application. Consider including the algorithm's complexity (:math:`O\left(g\left(n\right)\right)`) if available, as "rules of thumb" can be very machine-dependent. Only if those complexities are not available, then rules of thumb may be provided instead. \* Incorporate a relevant figure (generated from an example) to provide intuitions. \* Include one or two short code examples to demonstrate the feature's usage. \* Introduce any necessary mathematical equations, followed by references. By deferring the mathematical aspects, the documentation becomes more accessible to users primarily interested in understanding the feature's practical implications rather than its underlying mechanics. \* When editing reStructuredText (``.rst``) files, try to keep line length under 88 characters when possible (exceptions include links and tables). \* In scikit-learn reStructuredText files both single and double backticks surrounding text will render as inline | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/contributing.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

primarily interested in understanding the feature's practical implications rather than its underlying mechanics. \* When editing reStructuredText (``.rst``) files, try to keep line length under 88 characters when possible (exceptions include links and tables). \* In scikit-learn reStructuredText files both single and double backticks surrounding text will render as inline literal (often used for code, e.g., `list`). This is due to specific configurations we have set. Single backticks should be used nowadays. \* Too much information makes it difficult for users to access the content they are interested in. Use dropdowns to factorize it by using the following syntax .. code-block:: rst .. dropdown:: Dropdown title Dropdown content. The snippet above will result in the following dropdown: .. dropdown:: Dropdown title Dropdown content. \* Information that can be hidden by default using dropdowns is: \* low hierarchy sections such as `References`, `Properties`, etc. (see for instance the subsections in :ref:`det\_curve`); \* in-depth mathematical details; \* narrative that is use-case specific; \* in general, narrative that may only interest users that want to go beyond the pragmatics of a given tool. \* Do not use dropdowns for the low level section `Examples`, as it should stay visible to all users. Make sure that the `Examples` section comes right after the main discussion with the least possible folded section in-between. \* Be aware that dropdowns break cross-references. If that makes sense, hide the reference along with the text mentioning it. Else, do not use dropdown. .. dropdown:: Guidelines for writing references \* When bibliographic references are available with `arxiv `\_ or `Digital Object Identifier `\_ identification numbers, use the sphinx directives `:arxiv:` or `:doi:`. For example, see references in :ref:`Spectral Clustering Graphs `. \* For the "References" section in docstrings, see :func:`sklearn.metrics.silhouette\_score` as an example. \* To cross-reference to other pages in the scikit-learn documentation use the reStructuredText cross-referencing syntax: \* \*\*Section:\*\* to link to an arbitrary section in the documentation, use reference labels (see `Sphinx docs `\_). For example: .. code-block:: rst .. \_my-section: My section ---------- This is the text of the section. To refer to itself use :ref:`my-section`. You should not modify existing sphinx reference labels as this would break existing cross references and external links pointing to specific sections in the scikit-learn documentation. \* \*\*Glossary:\*\* linking to a term in the :ref:`glossary`: .. code-block:: rst :term:`cross\_validation` \* \*\*Function:\*\* to link to the documentation of a function, use the full import path to the function: .. code-block:: rst :func:`~sklearn.model\_selection.cross\_val\_score` However, if there is a `.. currentmodule::` directive above you in the document, you will only need to use the path to the function succeeding the current module specified. For example: .. code-block:: rst .. currentmodule:: sklearn.model\_selection :func:`cross\_val\_score` \* \*\*Class:\*\* to link to documentation of a class, use the full import path to the class, unless there is a `.. currentmodule::` directive in the document above (see above): .. code-block:: rst :class:`~sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler` You can edit the documentation using any text editor, and then generate the HTML output by following :ref:`building\_documentation`. The resulting HTML files will be placed in ``\_build/html/`` and are viewable in a web browser, for instance by opening the local ``\_build/html/index.html`` file or by running a local server .. prompt:: bash python -m http.server -d \_build/html .. \_building\_documentation: Building the documentation -------------------------- \*\*Before submitting a pull request check if your modifications have introduced new sphinx warnings by building the documentation locally and try to fix them.\*\* First, make sure you have :ref:`properly installed ` the development version.

To also generate the example gallery you can use: .. prompt:: bash make html This will run all the examples, which takes a while. You can also run only a few examples based on their file names. Here is a way to run all examples with filenames containing `plot\_calibration`: .. prompt:: bash EXAMPLES\_PATTERN="plot\_calibration" make html You can use regular expressions for more advanced use cases. Set the environment variable `NO\_MATHJAX=1` if you intend to view the documentation in an offline setting. To build the PDF manual, run: .. prompt:: bash make latexpdf .. admonition:: Sphinx version :class: warning While we do our best to have the documentation build under as many versions of Sphinx as possible, the different versions tend to behave slightly differently. To get the best results, you should use the same version as the one we used on CircleCI.

To view the documentation generated by GitHub Actions, simply go to the bottom of your PR page, look for the item "Check the rendered docs here!" and click on 'details' next to it: .. image:: ../images/generated-doc-ci.png :align: center .. \_testing\_coverage: Testing and improving test coverage =================================== High-quality `unit testing `\_ is a corner-stone of the scikit-learn development process. For this purpose, we use the `pytest `\_ package. The tests are functions appropriately named, located in `tests` subdirectories, that check the validity of the algorithms and the different options of the code. Running `pytest` in a folder will run all the tests of the corresponding subpackages. For a more detailed `pytest` workflow, please refer to the :ref:`pr\_checklist`. We expect code coverage of new features to be at least around 90%. .. dropdown:: Writing matplotlib-related tests Test fixtures ensure that a set of tests will be executing with the appropriate initialization and cleanup. The scikit-learn test suite implements a ``pyplot`` fixture which can be used with ``matplotlib``. The ``pyplot`` fixture should be used when a test function is dealing with ``matplotlib``. ``matplotlib`` is a soft dependency and is not required. This fixture is in charge of skipping the tests if ``matplotlib`` is not installed. In addition, figures created during the tests will be automatically closed once the test function has been executed. To use this fixture in a test function, one needs to pass it as an argument:: def test\_requiring\_mpl\_fixture(pyplot): # you can now safely use matplotlib .. dropdown:: Workflow to improve test coverage To test code coverage, you need to install the `coverage `\_ package in addition to `pytest`. 1.

Loop. .. \_monitoring\_performances: Monitoring performance ====================== \*This section is heavily inspired from the\* `pandas documentation `\_. When proposing changes to the existing code base, it's important to make sure that they don't introduce performance regressions. Scikit-learn uses `asv benchmarks `\_ to monitor the performance of a selection of common estimators and functions. You can view these benchmarks on the `scikit-learn benchmark page `\_. The corresponding benchmark suite can be found in the `asv\_benchmarks/` directory. To use all features of asv, you will need either `conda` or `virtualenv`. For more details please check the `asv installation webpage `\_. First of all you need to install the development version of asv: .. prompt:: bash pip install git+https://github.com/airspeed-velocity/asv and change your directory to `asv\_benchmarks/`: .. prompt:: bash cd asv\_benchmarks The benchmark suite is configured to run against your local clone of scikit-learn. Make sure it is up to date: .. prompt:: bash git fetch upstream In the benchmark suite, the benchmarks are organized following the same structure as scikit-learn. For example, you can compare the performance of a specific estimator between ``upstream/main`` and the branch you are working on: .. prompt:: bash asv continuous -b LogisticRegression upstream/main HEAD The command uses conda by default for creating the benchmark environments. If you want to use virtualenv instead, use the `-E` flag: .. prompt:: bash asv continuous -E virtualenv -b LogisticRegression upstream/main HEAD You can also specify a whole module to benchmark: .. prompt:: bash asv continuous -b linear\_model upstream/main HEAD You can replace `HEAD` by any local branch. By default it will only report the benchmarks that have changed by at least 10%. You can control this ratio with the `-f` flag. To run the full benchmark suite, simply remove the `-b` flag : .. prompt:: bash asv continuous upstream/main HEAD However this can take up to two hours. The `-b` flag also accepts a regular expression for a more complex subset of benchmarks to run. To run the benchmarks without comparing to another branch, use the `run` command: .. prompt:: bash asv run -b linear\_model HEAD^! You can also run the benchmark suite using the version of scikit-learn already installed in your current Python environment: .. prompt:: bash asv run --python=same It's particularly useful when you installed scikit-learn in editable mode to avoid creating a new environment each time you run the benchmarks. By default the results are not saved when using an existing installation. To save the results you must specify a commit hash: .. prompt:: bash asv run --python=same --set-commit-hash= Benchmarks are saved and organized by machine, environment and commit. To see the list of all saved benchmarks: .. prompt:: bash asv show and to see the report of a specific run: .. prompt:: bash asv show When running benchmarks for a pull request you're working on please report the results on github. The benchmark suite supports additional configurable options which can be set in the `benchmarks/config.json` configuration file. For example, the benchmarks can run for a provided list of values for the `n\_jobs` parameter.

Wrong results as well as unexpected errors from estimators go here. :Enhancement: Improving performance, usability, consistency. :Documentation: Missing, incorrect or sub-standard documentations and examples. :New Feature: Feature requests and pull requests implementing a new feature. There are four other tags to help new contributors: :Good first issue: This issue is ideal for a first contribution to scikit-learn. Ask for help if the formulation is unclear. If you have already contributed to scikit-learn, look at Easy issues instead. :Easy: This issue can be tackled without much prior experience. :Moderate: Might need some knowledge of machine learning or the package, but is still approachable for someone new to the project. :Help wanted: This tag marks an issue which currently lacks a contributor or a PR that needs another contributor to take over the work. These issues can range in difficulty, and may not be approachable for new contributors. Note that not all issues which need contributors will have this tag. .. \_backwards-compatibility: Maintaining backwards compatibility =================================== .. \_contributing\_deprecation: Deprecation ----------- If any publicly accessible class, function, method, attribute or parameter is renamed, we still support the old one for two releases and issue a deprecation warning when it is called, passed, or accessed. .. rubric:: Deprecating a class or a function Suppose the function ``zero\_one`` is renamed to ``zero\_one\_loss``, we add the decorator :class:`utils.deprecated` to ``zero\_one`` and call ``zero\_one\_loss`` from that function:: from sklearn.utils import deprecated def zero\_one\_loss(y\_true, y\_pred, normalize=True): # actual implementation pass @deprecated( "Function `zero\_one` was renamed to `zero\_one\_loss` in 0.13 and will be " "removed in 0.15. Default behavior is changed from `normalize=False` to " "`normalize=True`" ) def zero\_one(y\_true, y\_pred, normalize=False): return zero\_one\_loss(y\_true, y\_pred, normalize) One also needs to move ``zero\_one`` from ``API\_REFERENCE`` to ``DEPRECATED\_API\_REFERENCE`` and add ``zero\_one\_loss`` to ``API\_REFERENCE`` in the ``doc/api\_reference.py`` file to reflect the changes in :ref:`api\_ref`. .. rubric:: Deprecating an attribute or a method If an attribute or a method is to be deprecated, use the decorator :class:`~utils.deprecated` on the property. Please note that the :class:`~utils.deprecated` decorator should be placed before the ``property`` decorator if there is one, so that the docstrings can be rendered properly. For instance, renaming an attribute ``labels\_`` to ``classes\_`` can be done as:: @deprecated( "Attribute `labels\_` was deprecated in 0.13 and will be removed in 0.15. Use " "`classes\_` instead" ) @property def labels\_(self): return self.classes\_ .. rubric:: Deprecating a parameter If a parameter has to be deprecated, a ``FutureWarning`` warning must be raised manually. In the following example, ``k`` is deprecated and renamed to n\_clusters:: import warnings def example\_function(n\_clusters=8, k="deprecated"): if k != "deprecated": warnings.warn( "`k` was renamed to `n\_clusters` in 0.13 and will be removed in 0.15", FutureWarning, ) n\_clusters = k When the change is in a class, we validate and raise warning in ``fit``:: import warnings class ExampleEstimator(BaseEstimator): def \_\_init\_\_(self, n\_clusters=8, k='deprecated'): self.n\_clusters = n\_clusters self.k = k def fit(self, X, y): if self.k != "deprecated": warnings.warn( "`k` was renamed to `n\_clusters` in 0.13 and will be removed in 0.15.", FutureWarning, ) self.\_n\_clusters = self.k else: self.\_n\_clusters = self.n\_clusters As in these examples, the warning message should always give both | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/contributing.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

If the deprecation happened in version 0.x-dev, the message should say deprecation occurred in version 0.x and the removal will be in 0.(x+2), so that users will have enough time to adapt their code to the new behaviour. For example, if the deprecation happened in version 0.18-dev, the message should say it happened in version 0.18 and the old behavior will be removed in version 0.20. The warning message should also include a brief explanation of the change and point users to an alternative. In addition, a deprecation note should be added in the docstring, recalling the same information as the deprecation warning as explained above. Use the ``.. deprecated::`` directive: .. code-block:: rst .. deprecated:: 0.13 ``k`` was renamed to ``n\_clusters`` in version 0.13 and will be removed in 0.15. What's more, a deprecation requires a test which ensures that the warning is raised in relevant cases but not in other cases. The warning should be caught in all other tests (using e.g., ``@pytest.mark.filterwarnings``), and there should be no warning in the examples. Change the default value of a parameter --------------------------------------- If the default value of a parameter needs to be changed, please replace the default value with a specific value (e.g., ``"warn"``) and raise ``FutureWarning`` when users are using the default value. The following example assumes that the current version is 0.20 and that we change the default value of ``n\_clusters`` from 5 (old default for 0.20) to 10 (new default for 0.22):: import warnings def example\_function(n\_clusters="warn"): if n\_clusters == "warn": warnings.warn( "The default value of `n\_clusters` will change from 5 to 10 in 0.22.", FutureWarning, ) n\_clusters = 5 When the change is in a class, we validate and raise warning in ``fit``:: import warnings class ExampleEstimator: def \_\_init\_\_(self, n\_clusters="warn"): self.n\_clusters = n\_clusters def fit(self, X, y): if self.n\_clusters == "warn": warnings.warn( "The default value of `n\_clusters` will change from 5 to 10 in 0.22.", FutureWarning, ) self.\_n\_clusters = 5 Similar to deprecations, the warning message should always give both the version in which the change happened and the version in which the old behavior will be removed. The parameter description in the docstring needs to be updated accordingly by adding a ``versionchanged`` directive with the old and new default value, pointing to the version when the change will be effective: .. code-block:: rst .. versionchanged:: 0.22 The default value for `n\_clusters` will change from 5 to 10 in version 0.22. Finally, we need a test which ensures that the warning is raised in relevant cases but not in other cases. The warning should be caught in all other tests (using e.g., ``@pytest.mark.filterwarnings``), and there should be no warning in the examples. .. \_code\_review: Code Review Guidelines ====================== Reviewing code contributed to the project as PRs is a crucial component of scikit-learn development. We encourage anyone to start reviewing code of other developers. The code review process is often highly educational for everybody involved. This is particularly appropriate if it is a feature you would like to use, and so can respond critically about whether the PR meets your needs.

While each pull request needs to be signed off by two core developers, you can speed up this process by providing your feedback. .. note:: The difference between an objective improvement and a subjective nit isn't always clear. Reviewers should recall that code review is primarily about reducing risk in the project. When reviewing code, one should aim at preventing situations which may require a bug fix, a deprecation, or a retraction. Regarding docs: typos, grammar issues and disambiguations are better addressed immediately. .. dropdown:: Important aspects to be covered in any code review Here are a few important aspects that need to be covered in any code review, from high-level questions to a more detailed check-list. - Do we want this in the library? Is it likely to be used? Do you, as a scikit-learn user, like the change and intend to use it? Is it in the scope of scikit-learn? Will the cost of maintaining a new feature be worth its benefits? - Is the code consistent with the API of scikit-learn? Are public functions/classes/parameters well named and intuitively designed? - Are all public functions/classes and their parameters, return types, and stored attributes named according to scikit-learn conventions and documented clearly? - Is any new functionality described in the user-guide and illustrated with examples? - Is every public function/class tested? Are a reasonable set of parameters, their values, value types, and combinations tested? Do the tests validate that the code is correct, i.e. doing what the documentation says it does? If the change is a bug-fix, is a non-regression test included? These tests verify the correct behavior of the fix or feature. In this manner, further modifications on the code base are granted to be consistent with the desired behavior. In the case of bug fixes, at the time of the PR, the non-regression tests should fail for the code base in the ``main`` branch and pass for the PR code. - Do the tests pass in the continuous integration build? If appropriate, help the contributor understand why tests failed. - Do the tests cover every line of code (see the coverage report in the build log)? If not, are the lines missing coverage good exceptions? - Is the code easy to read and low on redundancy? Should variable names be improved for clarity or consistency? Should comments be added? Should comments be removed as unhelpful or extraneous? - Could the code easily be rewritten to run much more efficiently for relevant settings? - Is the code backwards compatible with previous versions? (or is a deprecation cycle necessary?) - Will the new code add any dependencies on other libraries? (this is unlikely to be accepted) - Does the documentation render properly (see the :ref:`contribute\_documentation` section for more details), and are the plots instructive? :ref:`saved\_replies` includes some frequent comments that reviewers may make. .. \_communication: .. dropdown:: Communication Guidelines Reviewing open pull requests (PRs) helps move the project forward. It is a great way to get familiar with the codebase and should motivate the contributor to keep involved in the project. [1]\_ - Every PR, good or bad, is an act of generosity.

Resist the temptation to immediately go line by line, or to open with small pervasive issues. - Do not let perfect be the enemy of the good. If you find yourself making many small suggestions that don't fall into the :ref:`code\_review`, consider the following approaches: - refrain from submitting these; - prefix them as "Nit" so that the contributor knows it's OK not to address; - follow up in a subsequent PR, out of courtesy, you may want to let the original contributor know. - Do not rush, take the time to make your comments clear and justify your suggestions. - You are the face of the project. Bad days occur to everyone, in that occasion you deserve a break: try to take your time and stay offline. .. [1] Adapted from the numpy `communication guidelines `\_. Reading the existing code base ============================== Reading and digesting an existing code base is always a difficult exercise that takes time and experience to master. Even though we try to write simple code in general, understanding the code can seem overwhelming at first, given the sheer size of the project. Here is a list of tips that may help make this task easier and faster (in no particular order). - Get acquainted with the :ref:`api\_overview`: understand what :term:`fit`, :term:`predict`, :term:`transform`, etc. are used for. - Before diving into reading the code of a function / class, go through the docstrings first and try to get an idea of what each parameter / attribute is doing. It may also help to stop a minute and think \*how would I do this myself if I had to?\* - The trickiest thing is often to identify which portions of the code are relevant, and which are not. In scikit-learn \*\*a lot\*\* of input checking is performed, especially at the beginning of the :term:`fit` methods. Sometimes, only a very small portion of the code is doing the actual job. For example looking at the :meth:`~linear\_model.LinearRegression.fit` method of :class:`~linear\_model.LinearRegression`, what you're looking for might just be the call the :func:`scipy.linalg.lstsq`, but it is buried into multiple lines of input checking and the handling of different kinds of parameters. - Due to the use of `Inheritance `\_, some methods may be implemented in parent classes. All estimators inherit at least from :class:`~base.BaseEstimator`, and from a ``Mixin`` class (e.g. :class:`~base.ClassifierMixin`) that enables default behaviour depending on the nature of the estimator (classifier, regressor, transformer, etc.). - Sometimes, reading the tests for a given function will give you an idea of what its intended purpose is. You can use ``git grep`` (see below) to find all the tests written for a function.

.. \_cython: Cython Best Practices, Conventions and Knowledge ================================================ This document contains tips to develop Cython code in scikit-learn. Tips for developing with Cython in scikit-learn ----------------------------------------------- Tips to ease development ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ \* Time spent reading `Cython's documentation `\_ is not time lost. \* If you intend to use OpenMP: On MacOS, system's distribution of ``clang`` does not implement OpenMP. You can install the ``compilers`` package available on ``conda-forge`` which comes with an implementation of OpenMP. \* Activating `checks `\_ might help. E.g. for activating boundscheck use: .. code-block:: bash export SKLEARN\_ENABLE\_DEBUG\_CYTHON\_DIRECTIVES=1 \* `Start from scratch in a notebook `\_ to understand how to use Cython and to get feedback on your work quickly. If you plan to use OpenMP for your implementations in your Jupyter Notebook, do add extra compiler and linkers arguments in the Cython magic. .. code-block:: python # For GCC and for clang %%cython --compile-args=-fopenmp --link-args=-fopenmp # For Microsoft's compilers %%cython --compile-args=/openmp --link-args=/openmp \* To debug C code (e.g. a segfault), do use ``gdb`` with: .. code-block:: bash gdb --ex r --args python ./entrypoint\_to\_bug\_reproducer.py \* To have access to some value in place to debug in ``cdef (nogil)`` context, use: .. code-block:: cython with gil: print(state\_to\_print) \* Note that Cython cannot parse f-strings with ``{var=}`` expressions, e.g. .. code-block:: bash print(f"{test\_val=}") \* scikit-learn codebase has a lot of non-unified (fused) types (re)definitions. There currently is `ongoing work to simplify and unify that across the codebase `\_. For now, make sure you understand which concrete types are used ultimately. \* You might find this alias to compile individual Cython extension handy: .. code-block:: # You might want to add this alias to your shell script config. alias cythonX="cython -X language\_level=3 -X boundscheck=False -X wraparound=False -X initializedcheck=False -X nonecheck=False -X cdivision=True" # This generates `source.c` as if you had recompiled scikit-learn entirely. cythonX --annotate source.pyx \* Using the ``--annotate`` option with this flag allows generating an HTML report of code annotation. This report indicates interactions with the CPython interpreter on a line-by-line basis. Interactions with the CPython interpreter must be avoided as much as possible in the computationally intensive sections of the algorithms. For more information, please refer to `this section of Cython's tutorial `\_ .. code-block:: # This generates an HTML report (`source.html`) for `source.c`. cythonX --annotate source.pyx Tips for performance ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ \* Understand the GIL in context for CPython (which problems it solves, what are its limitations) and get a good understanding of when Cython will be mapped to C code free of interactions with CPython, when it will not, and when it cannot (e.g. presence of interactions with Python objects, which include functions). In this regard, `PEP073 `\_ provides a good overview and context and pathways for removal. \* Make sure you have deactivated `checks `\_. \* Always prefer memoryviews instead of ``cnp.ndarray`` when possible: memoryviews are lightweight. \* Avoid memoryview slicing: memoryview slicing might be costly or misleading in some cases and we better not use it, even if handling fewer dimensions in some context would be preferable. \* Decorate final classes or methods with ``@final`` (this allows removing virtual tables when needed) \* Inline methods and functions when it makes sense \* In doubt, read the generated C or C++ code if you can: "The fewer C instructions and indirections for a line of Cython code, the better" is a good rule of thumb. \* ``nogil`` declarations are just hints: when declaring the ``cdef`` functions as nogil, it means that they can be called without holding the GIL, but it does not release the GIL when entering them. You have to do that | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/cython.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

of Cython code, the better" is a good rule of thumb. \* ``nogil`` declarations are just hints: when declaring the ``cdef`` functions as nogil, it means that they can be called without holding the GIL, but it does not release the GIL when entering them. You have to do that yourself either by passing ``nogil=True`` to ``cython.parallel.prange`` explicitly, or by using an explicit context manager: .. code-block:: cython cdef inline void my\_func(self) nogil: # Some logic interacting with CPython, e.g. allocating arrays via NumPy. with nogil: # The code here is run as if it were written in C. return 0 This item is based on `this comment from Stéfan's Benhel `\_ \* Direct calls to BLAS routines are possible via interfaces defined in ``sklearn.utils.\_cython\_blas``. Using OpenMP ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Since scikit-learn can be built without OpenMP, it's necessary to protect each direct call to OpenMP. The `\_openmp\_helpers` module, available in `sklearn/utils/\_openmp\_helpers.pyx `\_ provides protected versions of the OpenMP routines. To use OpenMP routines, they must be ``cimported`` from this module and not from the OpenMP library directly: .. code-block:: cython from sklearn.utils.\_openmp\_helpers cimport omp\_get\_max\_threads max\_threads = omp\_get\_max\_threads() The parallel loop, `prange`, is already protected by cython and can be used directly from `cython.parallel`. Types ~~~~~ Cython code requires to use explicit types. This is one of the reasons you get a performance boost. In order to avoid code duplication, we have a central place for the most used types in `sklearn/utils/\_typedefs.pxd `\_. Ideally you start by having a look there and `cimport` types you need, for example .. code-block:: cython from sklearn.utils.\_typedefs cimport float32, float64 | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/cython.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_develop: ================================== Developing scikit-learn estimators ================================== Whether you are proposing an estimator for inclusion in scikit-learn, developing a separate package compatible with scikit-learn, or implementing custom components for your own projects, this chapter details how to develop objects that safely interact with scikit-learn pipelines and model selection tools. This section details the public API you should use and implement for a scikit-learn compatible estimator. Inside scikit-learn itself, we experiment and use some private tools and our goal is always to make them public once they are stable enough, so that you can also use them in your own projects. .. currentmodule:: sklearn .. \_api\_overview: APIs of scikit-learn objects ============================ There are two major types of estimators. You can think of the first group as simple estimators, which consists of most estimators, such as :class:`~sklearn.linear\_model.LogisticRegression` or :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestClassifier`. And the second group are meta-estimators, which are estimators that wrap other estimators. :class:`~sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline` and :class:`~sklearn.model\_selection.GridSearchCV` are two examples of meta-estimators. Here we start with a few vocabulary terms, and then we illustrate how you can implement your own estimators. Elements of the scikit-learn API are described more definitively in the :ref:`glossary`. Different objects ----------------- The main objects in scikit-learn are (one class can implement multiple interfaces): :Estimator: The base object, implements a ``fit`` method to learn from data, either:: estimator = estimator.fit(data, targets) or:: estimator = estimator.fit(data) :Predictor: For supervised learning, or some unsupervised problems, implements:: prediction = predictor.predict(data) Classification algorithms usually also offer a way to quantify certainty of a prediction, either using ``decision\_function`` or ``predict\_proba``:: probability = predictor.predict\_proba(data) :Transformer: For modifying the data in a supervised or unsupervised way (e.g. by adding, changing, or removing columns, but not by adding or removing rows). Implements:: new\_data = transformer.transform(data) When fitting and transforming can be performed much more efficiently together than separately, implements:: new\_data = transformer.fit\_transform(data) :Model: A model that can give a `goodness of fit `\_ measure or a likelihood of unseen data, implements (higher is better):: score = model.score(data) Estimators ---------- The API has one predominant object: the estimator. An estimator is an object that fits a model based on some training data and is capable of inferring some properties on new data. It can be, for instance, a classifier or a regressor. All estimators implement the fit method:: estimator.fit(X, y) Out of all the methods that an estimator implements, ``fit`` is usually the one you want to implement yourself. Other methods such as ``set\_params``, ``get\_params``, etc. are implemented in :class:`~sklearn.base.BaseEstimator`, which you should inherit from. You might need to inherit from more mixins, which we will explain later. Instantiation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This concerns the creation of an object. The object's ``\_\_init\_\_`` method might accept constants as arguments that determine the estimator's behavior (like the ``alpha`` constant in :class:`~sklearn.linear\_model.SGDClassifier`). It should not, however, take the actual training data as an argument, as this is left to the ``fit()`` method:: clf2 = SGDClassifier(alpha=2.3) clf3 = SGDClassifier([[1, 2], [2, 3]], [-1, 1]) # WRONG! Ideally, the arguments accepted by ``\_\_init\_\_`` should all be keyword arguments with a default value. In other words, a user should be able to instantiate an estimator without passing any arguments to it. In some cases, where there are no sane defaults for an argument, they can be left without a default value. In scikit-learn itself, we have very few places, only in some meta-estimators, where the sub-estimator(s) argument is a required argument. Most arguments correspond to hyperparameters describing the model or the optimisation problem the estimator tries to solve. Other parameters might define how the estimator behaves, e.g. defining the location of a cache to store some data. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/develop.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

few places, only in some meta-estimators, where the sub-estimator(s) argument is a required argument. Most arguments correspond to hyperparameters describing the model or the optimisation problem the estimator tries to solve. Other parameters might define how the estimator behaves, e.g. defining the location of a cache to store some data. These initial arguments (or parameters) are always remembered by the estimator. Also note that they should not be documented under the "Attributes" section, but rather under the "Parameters" section for that estimator. In addition, \*\*every keyword argument accepted by\*\* ``\_\_init\_\_`` \*\*should correspond to an attribute on the instance\*\*. Scikit-learn relies on this to find the relevant attributes to set on an estimator when doing model selection. To summarize, an ``\_\_init\_\_`` should look like:: def \_\_init\_\_(self, param1=1, param2=2): self.param1 = param1 self.param2 = param2 There should be no logic, not even input validation, and the parameters should not be changed; which also means ideally they should not be mutable objects such as lists or dictionaries. If they're mutable, they should be copied before being modified. The corresponding logic should be put where the parameters are used, typically in ``fit``. The following is wrong:: def \_\_init\_\_(self, param1=1, param2=2, param3=3): # WRONG: parameters should not be modified if param1 > 1: param2 += 1 self.param1 = param1 # WRONG: the object's attributes should have exactly the name of # the argument in the constructor self.param3 = param2 The reason for postponing the validation is that if ``\_\_init\_\_`` includes input validation, then the same validation would have to be performed in ``set\_params``, which is used in algorithms like :class:`~sklearn.model\_selection.GridSearchCV`. Also it is expected that parameters with trailing ``\_`` are \*\*not to be set inside the\*\* ``\_\_init\_\_`` \*\*method\*\*. More details on attributes that are not init arguments come shortly. Fitting ^^^^^^^ The next thing you will probably want to do is to estimate some parameters in the model. This is implemented in the ``fit()`` method, and it's where the training happens. For instance, this is where you have the computation to learn or estimate coefficients for a linear model. The ``fit()`` method takes the training data as arguments, which can be one array in the case of unsupervised learning, or two arrays in the case of supervised learning. Other metadata that come with the training data, such as ``sample\_weight``, can also be passed to ``fit`` as keyword arguments. Note that the model is fitted using ``X`` and ``y``, but the object holds no reference to ``X`` and ``y``. There are, however, some exceptions to this, as in the case of precomputed kernels where this data must be stored for use by the predict method. ============= ====================================================== Parameters ============= ====================================================== X array-like of shape (n\_samples, n\_features) y array-like of shape (n\_samples,) kwargs optional data-dependent parameters ============= ====================================================== The number of samples, i.e. ``X.shape[0]`` should be the same as ``y.shape[0]``. If this requirement is not met, an exception of type ``ValueError`` should be raised. ``y`` might be ignored in the case of unsupervised learning. However, to make it possible to use the estimator as part of a pipeline that can mix both supervised and unsupervised transformers, even unsupervised estimators need to accept a ``y=None`` keyword argument in the second position that is just ignored by the estimator. For the same reason, ``fit\_predict``, ``fit\_transform``, ``score`` and ``partial\_fit`` methods need to accept a ``y`` argument in the second place if they are implemented. The method should return the object (``self``). This pattern is useful to be able to implement quick one liners in an IPython session such as:: y\_predicted = SGDClassifier(alpha=10).fit(X\_train, y\_train).predict(X\_test) Depending on the nature of the algorithm, | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/develop.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

need to accept a ``y`` argument in the second place if they are implemented. The method should return the object (``self``). This pattern is useful to be able to implement quick one liners in an IPython session such as:: y\_predicted = SGDClassifier(alpha=10).fit(X\_train, y\_train).predict(X\_test) Depending on the nature of the algorithm, ``fit`` can sometimes also accept additional keywords arguments. However, any parameter that can have a value assigned prior to having access to the data should be an ``\_\_init\_\_`` keyword argument. Ideally, \*\*fit parameters should be restricted to directly data dependent variables\*\*. For instance a Gram matrix or an affinity matrix which are precomputed from the data matrix ``X`` are data dependent. A tolerance stopping criterion ``tol`` is not directly data dependent (although the optimal value according to some scoring function probably is). When ``fit`` is called, any previous call to ``fit`` should be ignored. In general, calling ``estimator.fit(X1)`` and then ``estimator.fit(X2)`` should be the same as only calling ``estimator.fit(X2)``. However, this may not be true in practice when ``fit`` depends on some random process, see :term:`random\_state`. Another exception to this rule is when the hyper-parameter ``warm\_start`` is set to ``True`` for estimators that support it. ``warm\_start=True`` means that the previous state of the trainable parameters of the estimator are reused instead of using the default initialization strategy. Estimated Attributes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ According to scikit-learn conventions, attributes which you'd want to expose to your users as public attributes and have been estimated or learned from the data must always have a name ending with trailing underscore, for example the coefficients of some regression estimator would be stored in a ``coef\_`` attribute after ``fit`` has been called. Similarly, attributes that you learn in the process and you'd like to store yet not expose to the user, should have a leading underscore, e.g. ``\_intermediate\_coefs``. You'd need to document the first group (with a trailing underscore) as "Attributes" and no need to document the second group (with a leading underscore). The estimated attributes are expected to be overridden when you call ``fit`` a second time. Universal attributes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Estimators that expect tabular input should set a `n\_features\_in\_` attribute at `fit` time to indicate the number of features that the estimator expects for subsequent calls to :term:`predict` or :term:`transform`. See `SLEP010 `\_\_ for details. Similarly, if estimators are given dataframes such as pandas or polars, they should set a ``feature\_names\_in\_`` attribute to indicate the features names of the input data, detailed in `SLEP007 `\_\_. Using :func:`~sklearn.utils.validation.validate\_data` would automatically set these attributes for you. .. \_rolling\_your\_own\_estimator: Rolling your own estimator ========================== If you want to implement a new estimator that is scikit-learn compatible, there are several internals of scikit-learn that you should be aware of in addition to the scikit-learn API outlined above. You can check whether your estimator adheres to the scikit-learn interface and standards by running :func:`~sklearn.utils.estimator\_checks.check\_estimator` on an instance. The :func:`~sklearn.utils.estimator\_checks.parametrize\_with\_checks` pytest decorator can also be used (see its docstring for details and possible interactions with `pytest`):: >>> from sklearn.utils.estimator\_checks import check\_estimator >>> from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier >>> check\_estimator(DecisionTreeClassifier()) # passes [...] The main motivation to make a class compatible to the scikit-learn estimator interface might be that you want to use it together with model evaluation and selection tools such as :class:`~model\_selection.GridSearchCV` and :class:`~pipeline.Pipeline`. Before detailing the required interface below, we describe two ways to achieve the correct interface more easily. .. topic:: Project template: We provide a `project template `\_ which helps in the creation of Python packages containing scikit-learn compatible estimators.

It provides: \* an initial git repository with Python package directory structure \* a template of a scikit-learn estimator \* an initial test suite including use of :func:`~utils.parametrize\_with\_checks` \* directory structures and scripts to compile documentation and example galleries \* scripts to manage continuous integration (testing on Linux, MacOS, and Windows) \* instructions from getting started to publishing on `PyPi `\_\_ .. topic:: :class:`base.BaseEstimator` and mixins: We tend to use "duck typing" instead of checking for :func:`isinstance`, which means it's technically possible to implement an estimator without inheriting from scikit-learn classes. However, if you don't inherit from the right mixins, either there will be a large amount of boilerplate code for you to implement and keep in sync with scikit-learn development, or your estimator might not function the same way as a scikit-learn estimator. Here we only document how to develop an estimator using our mixins. If you're interested in implementing your estimator without inheriting from scikit-learn mixins, you'd need to check our implementations. For example, below is a custom classifier, with more examples included in the scikit-learn-contrib `project template `\_\_. It is particularly important to notice that mixins should be "on the left" while the ``BaseEstimator`` should be "on the right" in the inheritance list for proper MRO. >>> import numpy as np >>> from sklearn.base import BaseEstimator, ClassifierMixin >>> from sklearn.utils.validation import validate\_data, check\_is\_fitted >>> from sklearn.utils.multiclass import unique\_labels >>> from sklearn.metrics import euclidean\_distances >>> class TemplateClassifier(ClassifierMixin, BaseEstimator): ... ... def \_\_init\_\_(self, demo\_param='demo'): ... self.demo\_param = demo\_param ... ... def fit(self, X, y): ... ... # Check that X and y have correct shape, set n\_features\_in\_, etc. ...

X = validate\_data(self, X, reset=False) ... ... closest = np.argmin(euclidean\_distances(X, self.X\_), axis=1) ... return self.y\_[closest] And you can check that the above estimator passes all common checks:: >>> from sklearn.utils.estimator\_checks import check\_estimator >>> check\_estimator(TemplateClassifier()) # passes # doctest: +SKIP get\_params and set\_params ------------------------- All scikit-learn estimators have ``get\_params`` and ``set\_params`` functions. The ``get\_params`` function takes no arguments and returns a dict of the ``\_\_init\_\_`` parameters of the estimator, together with their values. It takes one keyword argument, ``deep``, which receives a boolean value that determines whether the method should return the parameters of sub-estimators (only relevant for meta-estimators). The default value for ``deep`` is ``True``. For instance considering the following estimator:: >>> from sklearn.base import BaseEstimator >>> from sklearn.linear\_model import LogisticRegression >>> class MyEstimator(BaseEstimator): ... def \_\_init\_\_(self, subestimator=None, my\_extra\_param="random"): ... self.subestimator = subestimator ... self.my\_extra\_param = my\_extra\_param The parameter `deep` controls whether or not the parameters of the `subestimator` should be reported. Thus when `deep=True`, the output will be:: >>> my\_estimator = MyEstimator(subestimator=LogisticRegression()) >>> for param, value in my\_estimator.get\_params(deep=True).items(): ... print(f"{param} -> {value}") my\_extra\_param -> random subestimator\_\_C -> 1.0 subestimator\_\_class\_weight -> None subestimator\_\_dual -> False subestimator\_\_fit\_intercept -> True subestimator\_\_intercept\_scaling -> 1 subestimator\_\_l1\_ratio -> 0.0 subestimator\_\_max\_iter -> 100 subestimator\_\_n\_jobs -> None subestimator\_\_penalty -> deprecated subestimator\_\_random\_state -> None subestimator\_\_solver -> lbfgs subestimator\_\_tol -> 0.0001 subestimator\_\_verbose -> 0 subestimator\_\_warm\_start -> False subestimator -> LogisticRegression() If the meta-estimator takes multiple sub-estimators, often, those sub-estimators have names (as e.g. named steps in a :class:`~pipeline.Pipeline` object), in which case | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/develop.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

It returns the estimator itself. The :func:`~base.BaseEstimator.set\_params` function is used to set parameters during grid search for instance. .. \_cloning: Cloning ------- As already mentioned that when constructor arguments are mutable, they should be copied before modifying them. This also applies to constructor arguments which are estimators. That's why meta-estimators such as :class:`~model\_selection.GridSearchCV` create a copy of the given estimator before modifying it. However, in scikit-learn, when we copy an estimator, we get an unfitted estimator where only the constructor arguments are copied (with some exceptions, e.g. attributes related to certain internal machinery such as metadata routing). The function responsible for this behavior is :func:`~base.clone`. Estimators can customize the behavior of :func:`base.clone` by overriding the :func:`base.BaseEstimator.\_\_sklearn\_clone\_\_` method. `\_\_sklearn\_clone\_\_` must return an instance of the estimator. `\_\_sklearn\_clone\_\_` is useful when an estimator needs to hold on to some state when :func:`base.clone` is called on the estimator. For example, :class:`~sklearn.frozen.FrozenEstimator` makes use of this. Estimator types --------------- Among simple estimators (as opposed to meta-estimators), the most common types are transformers, classifiers, regressors, and clustering algorithms. \*\*Transformers\*\* inherit from :class:`~base.TransformerMixin`, and implement a `transform` method. These are estimators which take the input, and transform it in some way. Note that they should never change the number of input samples, and the output of `transform` should correspond to its input samples in the same given order. \*\*Regressors\*\* inherit from :class:`~base.RegressorMixin`, and implement a `predict` method. They should accept numerical ``y`` in their `fit` method. Regressors use :func:`~metrics.r2\_score` by default in their :func:`~base.RegressorMixin.score` method. \*\*Classifiers\*\* inherit from :class:`~base.ClassifierMixin`. If it applies, classifiers can implement ``decision\_function`` to return raw decision values, based on which ``predict`` can make its decision. If calculating probabilities is supported, classifiers can also implement ``predict\_proba`` and ``predict\_log\_proba``. Classifiers should accept ``y`` (target) arguments to ``fit`` that are sequences (lists, arrays) of either strings or integers. They should not assume that the class labels are a contiguous range of integers; instead, they should store a list of classes in a ``classes\_`` attribute or property. The order of class labels in this attribute should match the order in which ``predict\_proba``, ``predict\_log\_proba`` and ``decision\_function`` return their values. The easiest way to achieve this is to put:: self.classes\_, y = np.unique(y, return\_inverse=True) in ``fit``. This returns a new ``y`` that contains class indexes, rather than labels, in the range [0, ``n\_classes``). A classifier's ``predict`` method should return arrays containing class labels from ``classes\_``. In a classifier that implements ``decision\_function``, this can be achieved with:: def predict(self, X): D = self.decision\_function(X) return self.classes\_[np.argmax(D, axis=1)] The :mod:`~sklearn.utils.multiclass` module contains useful functions for working with multiclass and multilabel problems. \*\*Clustering algorithms\*\* inherit from :class:`~base.ClusterMixin`. Ideally, they should accept a ``y`` parameter in their ``fit`` method, but it should be ignored. Clustering algorithms should set a ``labels\_`` attribute, storing the labels assigned to each sample. If applicable, they can also implement a ``predict`` method, returning the labels assigned to newly given samples.

accept a ``y`` parameter in their ``fit`` method, but it should be ignored. Clustering algorithms should set a ``labels\_`` attribute, storing the labels assigned to each sample. If applicable, they can also implement a ``predict`` method, returning the labels assigned to newly given samples. If one needs to check the type of a given estimator, e.g. in a meta-estimator, one can check if the given object implements a ``transform`` method for transformers, and otherwise use helper functions such as :func:`~base.is\_classifier` or :func:`~base.is\_regressor`. .. \_estimator\_tags: Estimator Tags -------------- .. note:: Scikit-learn introduced estimator tags in version 0.21 as a private API and mostly used in tests. However, these tags expanded over time and many third party developers also need to use them. Therefore in version 1.6 the API for the tags was revamped and exposed as public API. The estimator tags are annotations of estimators that allow programmatic inspection of their capabilities, such as sparse matrix support, supported output types and supported methods. The estimator tags are an instance of :class:`~sklearn.utils.Tags` returned by the method :meth:`~sklearn.base.BaseEstimator.\_\_sklearn\_tags\_\_`. These tags are used in different places, such as :func:`~base.is\_regressor` or the common checks run by :func:`~sklearn.utils.estimator\_checks.check\_estimator` and :func:`~sklearn.utils.estimator\_checks.parametrize\_with\_checks`, where tags determine which checks to run and what input data is appropriate. Tags can depend on estimator parameters or even system architecture and can in general only be determined at runtime and are therefore instance attributes rather than class attributes. See :class:`~sklearn.utils.Tags` for more information about individual tags. It is unlikely that the default values for each tag will suit the needs of your specific estimator. You can change the default values by defining a `\_\_sklearn\_tags\_\_()` method which returns the new values for your estimator's tags. For example:: class MyMultiOutputEstimator(BaseEstimator): def \_\_sklearn\_tags\_\_(self): tags = super().\_\_sklearn\_tags\_\_() tags.target\_tags.single\_output = False tags.non\_deterministic = True return tags You can create a new subclass of :class:`~sklearn.utils.Tags` if you wish to add new tags to the existing set. Note that all attributes that you add in a child class need to have a default value. It can be of the form:: from dataclasses import dataclass, fields @dataclass class MyTags(Tags): my\_tag: bool = True class MyEstimator(BaseEstimator): def \_\_sklearn\_tags\_\_(self): tags\_orig = super().\_\_sklearn\_tags\_\_() as\_dict = { field.name: getattr(tags\_orig, field.name) for field in fields(tags\_orig) } tags = MyTags(\*\*as\_dict) tags.my\_tag = True return tags .. \_developer\_api\_set\_output: Developer API for `set\_output` ============================== With `SLEP018 `\_\_, scikit-learn introduces the `set\_output` API for configuring transformers to output pandas DataFrames. The `set\_output` API is automatically defined if the transformer defines :term:`get\_feature\_names\_out` and subclasses :class:`base.TransformerMixin`. :term:`get\_feature\_names\_out` is used to get the column names of pandas output. :class:`base.OneToOneFeatureMixin` and :class:`base.ClassNamePrefixFeaturesOutMixin` are helpful mixins for defining :term:`get\_feature\_names\_out`. :class:`base.OneToOneFeatureMixin` is useful when the transformer has a one-to-one correspondence between input features and output features, such as :class:`~preprocessing.StandardScaler`. :class:`base.ClassNamePrefixFeaturesOutMixin` is useful when the transformer needs to generate its own feature names out, such as :class:`~decomposition.PCA`. You can opt-out of the `set\_output` API by setting `auto\_wrap\_output\_keys=None` when defining a custom subclass:: class MyTransformer(TransformerMixin, BaseEstimator, auto\_wrap\_output\_keys=None): def fit(self, X, y=None): return self def transform(self, X, y=None): return X def get\_feature\_names\_out(self, input\_features=None): ... The default value for `auto\_wrap\_output\_keys` is `("transform",)`, which automatically wraps `fit\_transform` and `transform`. The `TransformerMixin` uses the `\_\_init\_subclass\_\_` mechanism to consume `auto\_wrap\_output\_keys` and pass all other keyword arguments to its super class. Super classes' `\_\_init\_subclass\_\_` should \*\*not\*\* depend on `auto\_wrap\_output\_keys`. For transformers that return multiple arrays in `transform`, auto wrapping will only wrap the first array and not alter the other arrays. See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_miscellaneous\_plot\_set\_output.py` for an example on how to use the API. .. \_developer\_api\_check\_is\_fitted: Developer API for `check\_is\_fitted` =================================== By default :func:`~sklearn.utils.validation.check\_is\_fitted` checks if there are any attributes in the instance with a trailing | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/develop.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

arrays in `transform`, auto wrapping will only wrap the first array and not alter the other arrays. See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_miscellaneous\_plot\_set\_output.py` for an example on how to use the API. .. \_developer\_api\_check\_is\_fitted: Developer API for `check\_is\_fitted` =================================== By default :func:`~sklearn.utils.validation.check\_is\_fitted` checks if there are any attributes in the instance with a trailing underscore, e.g. `coef\_`. An estimator can change the behavior by implementing a `\_\_sklearn\_is\_fitted\_\_` method taking no input and returning a boolean. If this method exists, :func:`~sklearn.utils.validation.check\_is\_fitted` simply returns its output. See :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_developing\_estimators\_sklearn\_is\_fitted.py` for an example on how to use the API. Developer API for HTML representation ===================================== .. warning:: The HTML representation API is experimental and the API is subject to change. Estimators inheriting from :class:`~sklearn.base.BaseEstimator` display a HTML representation of themselves in interactive programming environments such as Jupyter notebooks. For instance, we can display this HTML diagram:: from sklearn.base import BaseEstimator BaseEstimator() The raw HTML representation is obtained by invoking the function :func:`~sklearn.utils.estimator\_html\_repr` on an estimator instance. To customize the URL linking to an estimator's documentation (i.e. when clicking on the "?" icon), override the `\_doc\_link\_module` and `\_doc\_link\_template` attributes. In addition, you can provide a `\_doc\_link\_url\_param\_generator` method. Set `\_doc\_link\_module` to the name of the (top level) module that contains your estimator. If the value does not match the top level module name, the HTML representation will not contain a link to the documentation. For scikit-learn estimators this is set to `"sklearn"`. The `\_doc\_link\_template` is used to construct the final URL. By default, it can contain two variables: `estimator\_module` (the full name of the module containing the estimator) and `estimator\_name` (the class name of the estimator). If you need more variables you should implement the `\_doc\_link\_url\_param\_generator` method which should return a dictionary of the variables and their values. This dictionary will be used to render the `\_doc\_link\_template`. .. \_coding-guidelines: Coding guidelines ================= The following are some guidelines on how new code should be written for inclusion in scikit-learn, and which may be appropriate to adopt in external projects. Of course, there are special cases and there will be exceptions to these rules. However, following these rules when submitting new code makes the review easier so new code can be integrated in less time. Uniformly formatted code makes it easier to share code ownership. The scikit-learn project tries to closely follow the official Python guidelines detailed in `PEP8 `\_ that detail how code should be formatted and indented. Please read it and follow it. In addition, we add the following guidelines: \* Use underscores to separate words in non class names: ``n\_samples`` rather than ``nsamples``. \* Avoid multiple statements on one line. Prefer a line return after a control flow statement (``if``/``for``). \* Use absolute imports \* Unit tests should use imports exactly as client code would. If ``sklearn.foo`` exports a class or function that is implemented in ``sklearn.foo.bar.baz``, the test should import it from ``sklearn.foo``. \* \*\*Please don't use\*\* ``import \*`` \*\*in any case\*\*. It is considered harmful by the `official Python recommendations `\_. It makes the code harder to read as the origin of symbols is no longer explicitly referenced, but most important, it prevents using a static analysis tool like `pyflakes `\_ to automatically find bugs in scikit-learn. \* Use the `numpy docstring standard `\_ in all your docstrings. A good example of code that we like can be found `here `\_. Input validation ---------------- .. currentmodule:: sklearn.utils The module :mod:`sklearn.utils` contains various functions for doing input validation and conversion. Sometimes, ``np.asarray`` suffices for validation; do \*not\* use ``np.asanyarray`` or ``np.atleast\_2d``, since those let NumPy's ``np.matrix`` through, which has a different API (e.g., ``\*`` means dot product on | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/develop.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

be found `here `\_. Input validation ---------------- .. currentmodule:: sklearn.utils The module :mod:`sklearn.utils` contains various functions for doing input validation and conversion. Sometimes, ``np.asarray`` suffices for validation; do \*not\* use ``np.asanyarray`` or ``np.atleast\_2d``, since those let NumPy's ``np.matrix`` through, which has a different API (e.g., ``\*`` means dot product on ``np.matrix``, but Hadamard product on ``np.ndarray``). In other cases, be sure to call :func:`check\_array` on any array-like argument passed to a scikit-learn API function. The exact parameters to use depends mainly on whether and which ``scipy.sparse`` matrices must be accepted. For more information, refer to the :ref:`developers-utils` page. Random Numbers -------------- If your code depends on a random number generator, do not use ``numpy.random.random()`` or similar routines. To ensure repeatability in error checking, the routine should accept a keyword ``random\_state`` and use this to construct a ``numpy.random.RandomState`` object. See :func:`sklearn.utils.check\_random\_state` in :ref:`developers-utils`. Here's a simple example of code using some of the above guidelines:: from sklearn.utils import check\_array, check\_random\_state def choose\_random\_sample(X, random\_state=0): """Choose a random point from X. Parameters ---------- X : array-like of shape (n\_samples, n\_features) An array representing the data. random\_state : int or RandomState instance, default=0 The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random sample. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See :term:`Glossary `. Returns ------- x : ndarray of shape (n\_features,) A random point selected from X. """ X = check\_array(X) random\_state = check\_random\_state(random\_state) i = random\_state.randint(X.shape[0]) return X[i] If you use randomness in an estimator instead of a freestanding function, some additional guidelines apply. First off, the estimator should take a ``random\_state`` argument to its ``\_\_init\_\_`` with a default value of ``None``. It should store that argument's value, \*\*unmodified\*\*, in an attribute ``random\_state``. ``fit`` can call ``check\_random\_state`` on that attribute to get an actual random number generator. If, for some reason, randomness is needed after ``fit``, the RNG should be stored in an attribute ``random\_state\_``. The following example should make this clear:: class GaussianNoise(BaseEstimator, TransformerMixin): """This estimator ignores its input and returns random Gaussian noise. It also does not adhere to all scikit-learn conventions, but showcases how to handle randomness. """ def \_\_init\_\_(self, n\_components=100, random\_state=None): self.random\_state = random\_state self.n\_components = n\_components # the arguments are ignored anyway, so we make them optional def fit(self, X=None, y=None): self.random\_state\_ = check\_random\_state(self.random\_state) def transform(self, X): n\_samples = X.shape[0] return self.random\_state\_.randn(n\_samples, self.n\_components) The reason for this setup is reproducibility: when an estimator is ``fit`` twice to the same data, it should produce an identical model both times, hence the validation in ``fit``, not ``\_\_init\_\_``. Numerical assertions in tests ----------------------------- When asserting the quasi-equality of arrays of continuous values, do use `sklearn.utils.\_testing.assert\_allclose`. The relative tolerance is automatically inferred from the provided arrays dtypes (for float32 and float64 dtypes in particular) but you can override via ``rtol``. When comparing arrays of zero-elements, please do provide a non-zero value for the absolute tolerance via ``atol``. For more information, please refer to the docstring of `sklearn.utils.\_testing.assert\_allclose`. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/develop.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_developers-utils: ======================== Utilities for Developers ======================== Scikit-learn contains a number of utilities to help with development. These are located in :mod:`sklearn.utils`, and include tools in a number of categories. All the following functions and classes are in the module :mod:`sklearn.utils`. .. warning :: These utilities are meant to be used internally within the scikit-learn package. They are not guaranteed to be stable between versions of scikit-learn. Backports, in particular, will be removed as the scikit-learn dependencies evolve. .. currentmodule:: sklearn.utils Validation Tools ================ These are tools used to check and validate input. When you write a function which accepts arrays, matrices, or sparse matrices as arguments, the following should be used when applicable. - :func:`assert\_all\_finite`: Throw an error if array contains NaNs or Infs. - :func:`as\_float\_array`: convert input to an array of floats. If a sparse matrix is passed, a sparse matrix will be returned. - :func:`check\_array`: check that input is a 2D array, raise error on sparse matrices. Allowed sparse matrix formats can be given optionally, as well as allowing 1D or N-dimensional arrays. Calls :func:`assert\_all\_finite` by default. - :func:`check\_X\_y`: check that X and y have consistent length, calls check\_array on X, and column\_or\_1d on y. For multilabel classification or multitarget regression, specify multi\_output=True, in which case check\_array will be called on y. - :func:`indexable`: check that all input arrays have consistent length and can be sliced or indexed using safe\_index. This is used to validate input for cross-validation. - :func:`validation.check\_memory` checks that input is ``joblib.Memory``-like, which means that it can be converted into a ``sklearn.utils.Memory`` instance (typically a str denoting the ``cachedir``) or has the same interface. If your code relies on a random number generator, it should never use functions like ``numpy.random.random`` or ``numpy.random.normal``. This approach can lead to repeatability issues in unit tests. Instead, a ``numpy.random.RandomState`` object should be used, which is built from a ``random\_state`` argument passed to the class or function. The function :func:`check\_random\_state`, below, can then be used to create a random number generator object. - :func:`check\_random\_state`: create a ``np.random.RandomState`` object from a parameter ``random\_state``. - If ``random\_state`` is ``None`` or ``np.random``, then a randomly-initialized ``RandomState`` object is returned. - If ``random\_state`` is an integer, then it is used to seed a new ``RandomState`` object. - If ``random\_state`` is a ``RandomState`` object, then it is passed through. For example:: >>> from sklearn.utils import check\_random\_state >>> random\_state = 0 >>> random\_state = check\_random\_state(random\_state) >>> random\_state.rand(4) array([0.5488135 , 0.71518937, 0.60276338, 0.54488318]) When developing your own scikit-learn compatible estimator, the following helpers are available. - :func:`validation.check\_is\_fitted`: check that the estimator has been fitted before calling ``transform``, ``predict``, or similar methods. This helper allows to raise a standardized error message across estimator. - :func:`validation.has\_fit\_parameter`: check that a given parameter is supported in the ``fit`` method of a given estimator. Efficient Linear Algebra & Array Operations =========================================== - :func:`extmath.randomized\_range\_finder`: construct an orthonormal matrix whose range approximates the range of the input. This is used in :func:`extmath.randomized\_svd`, below. - :func:`extmath.randomized\_svd`: compute the k-truncated randomized SVD. This algorithm finds the exact truncated singular values decomposition using randomization to speed up the computations. It is particularly fast on large matrices on which you wish to extract only a small number of components. - `arrayfuncs.cholesky\_delete`: (used in :func:`~sklearn.linear\_model.lars\_path`) Remove an item from a cholesky factorization. - :func:`arrayfuncs.min\_pos`: (used in ``sklearn.linear\_model.least\_angle``) Find the minimum of the positive values within an array. - :func:`extmath.fast\_logdet`: efficiently compute the log of the determinant of a matrix. - :func:`extmath.density`: efficiently compute the density of a sparse vector - :func:`extmath.safe\_sparse\_dot`: dot product which will correctly handle ``scipy.sparse`` inputs.

If the inputs are dense, it is equivalent to ``numpy.dot``. - :func:`extmath.weighted\_mode`: an extension of ``scipy.stats.mode`` which allows each item to have a real-valued weight. - :func:`resample`: Resample arrays or sparse matrices in a consistent way. used in :func:`shuffle`, below. - :func:`shuffle`: Shuffle arrays or sparse matrices in a consistent way. Used in :func:`~sklearn.cluster.k\_means`. Efficient Random Sampling ========================= - :func:`random.sample\_without\_replacement`: implements efficient algorithms for sampling ``n\_samples`` integers from a population of size ``n\_population`` without replacement. Efficient Routines for Sparse Matrices ====================================== The ``sklearn.utils.sparsefuncs`` cython module hosts compiled extensions to efficiently process ``scipy.sparse`` data. - :func:`sparsefuncs.mean\_variance\_axis`: compute the means and variances along a specified axis of a CSR matrix. Used for normalizing the tolerance stopping criterion in :class:`~sklearn.cluster.KMeans`. - :func:`sparsefuncs\_fast.inplace\_csr\_row\_normalize\_l1` and :func:`sparsefuncs\_fast.inplace\_csr\_row\_normalize\_l2`: can be used to normalize individual sparse samples to unit L1 or L2 norm as done in :class:`~sklearn.preprocessing.Normalizer`. - :func:`sparsefuncs.inplace\_csr\_column\_scale`: can be used to multiply the columns of a CSR matrix by a constant scale (one scale per column). Used for scaling features to unit standard deviation in :class:`~sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler`. - :func:`~sklearn.neighbors.sort\_graph\_by\_row\_values`: can be used to sort a CSR sparse matrix such that each row is stored with increasing values. This is useful to improve efficiency when using precomputed sparse distance matrices in estimators relying on nearest neighbors graph. Graph Routines ============== - :func:`graph.single\_source\_shortest\_path\_length`: (not currently used in scikit-learn) Return the shortest path from a single source to all connected nodes on a graph. Code is adapted from `networkx `\_. If this is ever needed again, it would be far faster to use a single iteration of Dijkstra's algorithm from ``graph\_shortest\_path``. Testing Functions ================= - :func:`discovery.all\_estimators` : returns a list of all estimators in scikit-learn to test for consistent behavior and interfaces. - :func:`discovery.all\_displays` : returns a list of all displays (related to plotting API) in scikit-learn to test for consistent behavior and interfaces. - :func:`discovery.all\_functions` : returns a list of all functions in scikit-learn to test for consistent behavior and interfaces.

Helper Functions ================ - :class:`gen\_even\_slices`: generator to create ``n``-packs of slices going up to ``n``. Used in :func:`~sklearn.decomposition.dict\_learning` and :func:`~sklearn.cluster.k\_means`. - :class:`gen\_batches`: generator to create slices containing batch size elements from 0 to ``n`` - :func:`safe\_mask`: Helper function to convert a mask to the format expected by the numpy array or scipy sparse matrix on which to use it (sparse matrices support integer indices only while numpy arrays support both boolean masks and integer indices). - :func:`safe\_sqr`: Helper function for unified squaring (``\*\*2``) of array-likes, matrices and sparse matrices. Hash Functions ============== - :func:`murmurhash3\_32` provides a python wrapper for the ``MurmurHash3\_x86\_32`` C++ non cryptographic hash function. This hash function is suitable for implementing lookup tables, Bloom filters, Count Min Sketch, feature hashing and implicitly defined sparse random projections:: >>> from sklearn.utils import murmurhash3\_32 >>> murmurhash3\_32("some feature", seed=0) == -384616559 True >>> murmurhash3\_32("some feature", seed=0, positive=True) == 3910350737 True The ``sklearn.utils.murmurhash`` module can also be "cimported" from other cython modules so as to benefit from the high performance of MurmurHash while skipping the overhead of the Python interpreter. Warnings and Exceptions ======================= - :class:`deprecated`: Decorator to mark a function or class as deprecated. - :class:`~sklearn.exceptions.ConvergenceWarning`: Custom warning to catch convergence problems. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/utilities.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_developers-tips: =========================== Developers' Tips and Tricks =========================== Productivity and sanity-preserving tips ======================================= In this section we gather some useful advice and tools that may increase your quality-of-life when reviewing pull requests, running unit tests, and so forth. Some of these tricks consist of userscripts that require a browser extension such as `TamperMonkey`\_ or `GreaseMonkey`\_; to set up userscripts you must have one of these extensions installed, enabled and running. We provide userscripts as GitHub gists; to install them, click on the "Raw" button on the gist page. .. \_TamperMonkey: https://tampermonkey.net/ .. \_GreaseMonkey: https://www.greasespot.net/ Folding and unfolding outdated diffs on pull requests ----------------------------------------------------- GitHub hides discussions on PRs when the corresponding lines of code have been changed in the meantime. This `userscript `\_\_ provides a shortcut (Control-Alt-P at the time of writing but look at the code to be sure) to unfold all such hidden discussions at once, so you can catch up. Checking out pull requests as remote-tracking branches ------------------------------------------------------ In your local fork, add to your ``.git/config``, under the ``[remote "upstream"]`` heading, the line:: fetch = +refs/pull/\*/head:refs/remotes/upstream/pr/\* You may then use ``git checkout pr/PR\_NUMBER`` to navigate to the code of the pull-request with the given number. (`Read more in this gist. `\_) Display code coverage in pull requests -------------------------------------- To overlay the code coverage reports generated by the CodeCov continuous integration, consider `this browser extension `\_. The coverage of each line will be displayed as a color background behind the line number. .. \_pytest\_tips: Useful pytest aliases and flags ------------------------------- The full test suite takes fairly long to run. For faster iterations, it is possible to select a subset of tests using pytest selectors. In particular, one can run a `single test based on its node ID `\_: .. prompt:: bash $ pytest -v sklearn/linear\_model/tests/test\_logistic.py::test\_sparsify or use the `-k pytest parameter `\_ to select tests based on their name. For instance,: .. prompt:: bash $ pytest sklearn/tests/test\_common.py -v -k LogisticRegression will run all :term:`common tests` for the ``LogisticRegression`` estimator. When a unit test fails, the following tricks can make debugging easier: 1. The command line argument ``pytest -l`` instructs pytest to print the local variables when a failure occurs. 2. The argument ``pytest --pdb`` drops into the Python debugger on failure. To instead drop into the rich IPython debugger ``ipdb``, you may set up a shell alias to: .. prompt:: bash $ pytest --pdbcls=IPython.terminal.debugger:TerminalPdb --capture no Other `pytest` options that may become useful include: - ``-x`` which exits on the first failed test, - ``--lf`` to rerun the tests that failed on the previous run, - ``--ff`` to rerun all previous tests, running the ones that failed first, - ``-s`` so that pytest does not capture the output of ``print()`` statements, - ``--tb=short`` or ``--tb=line`` to control the length of the logs, - ``--runxfail`` also run tests marked as a known failure (XFAIL) and report errors. Since our continuous integration tests will error if ``FutureWarning`` isn't properly caught, it is also recommended to run ``pytest`` along with the ``-Werror::FutureWarning`` flag. .. \_saved\_replies: Standard replies for reviewing ------------------------------ It may be helpful to store some of these in GitHub's `saved replies `\_ for reviewing: .. highlight:: none ..

For usage questions, it is recommended to try [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/scikit-learn) or [the Mailing List](https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/scikit-learn). Unfortunately, we need to close this issue as this issue tracker is a communication tool used for the development of scikit-learn. The additional activity created by usage questions crowds it too much and impedes this development. The conversation can continue here, however there is no guarantee that it will receive attention from core developers. Issue: You're welcome to update the docs :: Please feel free to offer a pull request updating the documentation if you feel it could be improved. Issue: Self-contained example for bug :: Please provide [self-contained example code](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/developers/minimal\_reproducer.html), including imports and data (if possible), so that other contributors can just run it and reproduce your issue. Ideally your example code should be minimal. Issue: Software versions :: To help diagnose your issue, please paste the output of: ```py import sklearn; sklearn.show\_versions() ``` Thanks. Issue: Code blocks :: Readability can be greatly improved if you [format](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/) your code snippets and complete error messages appropriately. For example: ```python print(something) ``` generates: ```python print(something) ``` And: ```pytb Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: No module named 'hello' ``` generates: ```pytb Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: No module named 'hello' ``` You can edit your issue descriptions and comments at any time to improve readability. This helps maintainers a lot. Thanks! Issue/Comment: Linking to code :: Friendly advice: for clarity's sake, you can link to code like [this](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-permanent-link-to-a-code-snippet/). Issue/Comment: Linking to comments :: Please use links to comments, which make it a lot easier to see what you are referring to, rather than just linking to the issue. See [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25163598/how-do-i-reference-a-specific-issue-comment-on-github) for more details. PR-NEW: Better description and title :: Thanks for the pull request! Please make the title of the PR more descriptive. The title will become the commit message when this is merged. You should state what issue (or PR) it fixes/resolves in the description using the syntax described [here](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/developers/contributing.html#contributing-pull-requests). PR-NEW: Fix # :: Please use "Fix #issueNumber" in your PR description (and you can do it more than once). This way the associated issue gets closed automatically when the PR is merged. For more details, look at [this](https://github.com/blog/1506-closing-issues-via-pull-requests). PR-NEW or Issue: Maintenance cost :: Every feature we include has a [maintenance cost](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/faq.html#why-are-you-so-selective-on-what-algorithms-you-include-in-scikit-learn). Our maintainers are mostly volunteers. For a new feature to be included, we need evidence that it is often useful and, ideally, [well-established](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/faq.html#what-are-the-inclusion-criteria-for-new-algorithms) in the literature or in practice. Also, we expect PR authors to take part in the maintenance for the code they submit, at least initially. That doesn't stop you implementing it for yourself and publishing it in a separate repository, or even [scikit-learn-contrib](https://scikit-learn-contrib.github.io). PR-WIP: What's needed before merge? :: Please clarify (perhaps as a TODO list in the PR description) what work you believe still needs to be done before it can be reviewed for merge. When it is ready, please prefix the PR title with `[MRG]`. PR-WIP: Regression test needed :: Please add a [non-regression test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-regression\_testing) that would fail at main but pass in this PR. PR-MRG: Patience :: Before merging, we generally require two core developers to agree that your pull request is desirable and ready. [Please be patient](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/faq.html#why-is-my-pull-request-not-getting-any-attention), as we mostly rely on volunteered time from busy core developers.

Using a lock-file to get an environment close to the CI +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ `conda-lock` can be used to create a conda environment with the exact same conda and pip packages as on the CI. For example, the following command will create a conda environment named `scikit-learn-doc` that is similar to the CI: .. prompt:: bash $ conda-lock install -n scikit-learn-doc build\_tools/circle/doc\_linux-64\_conda.lock .. note:: It only works if you have the same OS as the CI build (check `platform:` in the lock-file). For example, the previous command will only work if you are on a Linux machine. Also this may not allow you to reproduce some of the issues that are more tied to the particularities of the CI environment, for example CPU architecture reported by OpenBLAS in `sklearn.show\_versions()`. If you don't have the same OS as the CI build you can still create a conda environment from the right environment yaml file, although it won't be as close as the CI environment as using the associated lock-file. For example for the doc build: .. prompt:: bash $ conda env create -n scikit-learn-doc -f build\_tools/circle/doc\_environment.yml -y This may not give you exactly the same package versions as in the CI for a variety of reasons, for example: - some packages may have had new releases between the time the lock files were last updated in the `main` branch and the time you run the `conda create` command. You can always try to look at the version in the lock-file and specify the versions by hand for some specific packages that you think would help reproducing the issue. - different packages may be installed by default depending on the OS. For example, the default BLAS library when installing numpy is OpenBLAS on Linux and MKL on Windows. Also the problem may be OS specific so the only way to be able to reproduce would be to have the same OS as the CI build. .. highlight:: default Debugging memory errors in Cython with valgrind =============================================== While python/numpy's built-in memory management is relatively robust, it can lead to performance penalties for some routines. For this reason, much of the high-performance code in scikit-learn is written in cython. This performance gain comes with a tradeoff, however: it is very easy for memory bugs to crop up in cython code, especially in situations where that code relies heavily on pointer arithmetic. Memory errors can manifest themselves a number of ways. The easiest ones to debug are often segmentation faults and related glibc errors. Uninitialized variables can lead to unexpected behavior that is difficult to track down. A very useful tool when debugging these sorts of errors is valgrind\_. Valgrind is a command-line tool that can trace memory errors in a variety of code. Follow these steps: 1.

errors. Uninitialized variables can lead to unexpected behavior that is difficult to track down. A very useful tool when debugging these sorts of errors is valgrind\_. Valgrind is a command-line tool that can trace memory errors in a variety of code. Follow these steps: 1. Install `valgrind`\_ on your system. 2. Download the python valgrind suppression file: `valgrind-python.supp`\_. 3. Follow the directions in the `README.valgrind`\_ file to customize your python suppressions. If you don't, you will have spurious output coming related to the python interpreter instead of your own code. 4. Run valgrind as follows: .. prompt:: bash $ valgrind -v --suppressions=valgrind-python.supp python my\_test\_script.py .. \_valgrind: https://valgrind.org .. \_`README.valgrind`: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Misc/README.valgrind .. \_`valgrind-python.supp`: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Misc/valgrind-python.supp The result will be a list of all the memory-related errors, which reference lines in the C-code generated by cython from your .pyx file. If you examine the referenced lines in the .c file, you will see comments which indicate the corresponding location in your .pyx source file. Hopefully the output will give you clues as to the source of your memory error. For more information on valgrind and the array of options it has, see the tutorials and documentation on the `valgrind web site `\_. .. \_arm64\_dev\_env: Building and testing for the ARM64 platform on an x86\_64 machine ================================================================ ARM-based machines are a popular target for mobile, edge or other low-energy deployments (including in the cloud, for instance on Scaleway or AWS Graviton). Here are instructions to setup a local dev environment to reproduce ARM-specific bugs or test failures on an x86\_64 host laptop or workstation. This is based on QEMU user mode emulation using docker for convenience (see https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static). .. note:: The following instructions are illustrated for ARM64 but they also apply to ppc64le, after changing the Docker image and Miniforge paths appropriately. Prepare a folder on the host filesystem and download the necessary tools and source code: .. prompt:: bash $ mkdir arm64 pushd arm64 wget https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-Linux-aarch64.sh git clone https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git Use docker to install QEMU user mode and run an ARM64v8 container with access to your shared folder under the `/io` mount point: .. prompt:: bash $ docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes docker run -v `pwd`:/io --rm -it arm64v8/ubuntu /bin/bash In the container, install miniforge3 for the ARM64 (a.k.a. aarch64) architecture: .. prompt:: bash $ bash Miniforge3-Linux-aarch64.sh # Choose to install miniforge3 under: `/io/miniforge3` Whenever you restart a new container, you will need to reinit the conda env previously installed under `/io/miniforge3`: .. prompt:: bash $ /io/miniforge3/bin/conda init source /root/.bashrc as the `/root` home folder is part of the ephemeral docker container. Every file or directory stored under `/io` is persistent on the other hand. You can then build scikit-learn as usual (you will need to install compiler tools and dependencies using apt or conda as usual). Building scikit-learn takes a lot of time because of the emulation layer, however it needs to be done only once if you put the scikit-learn folder under the `/io` mount point. Then use pytest to run only the tests of the module you are interested in debugging. .. \_meson\_build\_backend: The Meson Build Backend ======================= Since scikit-learn 1.5.0 we use meson-python as the build tool. Meson is a new tool for scikit-learn and the PyData ecosystem. It is used by several other packages that have written good guides about what it is and how it works. - `pandas setup doc `\_: pandas has a similar setup as ours (no spin or dev.py) - `scipy Meson doc `\_ gives more background about how Meson works behind the scenes | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/tips.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_plotting\_api: ================================ Developing with the Plotting API ================================ Scikit-learn defines a simple API for creating visualizations for machine learning. The key features of this API are to run calculations once and to have the flexibility to adjust the visualizations after the fact. This section is intended for developers who wish to develop or maintain plotting tools. For usage, users should refer to the :ref:`User Guide `. Plotting API Overview --------------------- This logic is encapsulated into a display object where the computed data is stored and the plotting is done in a `plot` method. The display object's `\_\_init\_\_` method contains only the data needed to create the visualization. The `plot` method takes in parameters that only have to do with visualization, such as a matplotlib axes. The `plot` method will store the matplotlib artists as attributes allowing for style adjustments through the display object. The `Display` class should define one or both class methods: `from\_estimator` and `from\_predictions`. These methods allow creating the `Display` object from the estimator and some data or from the true and predicted values. After these class methods create the display object with the computed values, then call the display's plot method. Note that the `plot` method defines attributes related to matplotlib, such as the line artist. This allows for customizations after calling the `plot` method. For example, the `RocCurveDisplay` defines the following methods and attributes:: class RocCurveDisplay: def \_\_init\_\_(self, fpr, tpr, roc\_auc, estimator\_name): ... self.fpr = fpr self.tpr = tpr self.roc\_auc = roc\_auc self.estimator\_name = estimator\_name @classmethod def from\_estimator(cls, estimator, X, y): # get the predictions y\_pred = estimator.predict\_proba(X)[:, 1] return cls.from\_predictions(y, y\_pred, estimator.\_\_class\_\_.\_\_name\_\_) @classmethod def from\_predictions(cls, y, y\_pred, estimator\_name): # do ROC computation from y and y\_pred fpr, tpr, roc\_auc = ... viz = RocCurveDisplay(fpr, tpr, roc\_auc, estimator\_name) return viz.plot() def plot(self, ax=None, name=None, \*\*kwargs): ... self.line\_ = ... self.ax\_ = ax self.figure\_ = ax.figure\_ Read more in :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_miscellaneous\_plot\_roc\_curve\_visualization\_api.py` and the :ref:`User Guide `. Plotting with Multiple Axes --------------------------- Some of the plotting tools like :func:`~sklearn.inspection.PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator` and :class:`~sklearn.inspection.PartialDependenceDisplay` support plotting on multiple axes. Two different scenarios are supported: 1. If a list of axes is passed in, `plot` will check if the number of axes is consistent with the number of axes it expects and then draws on those axes. 2. If a single axes is passed in, that axes defines a space for multiple axes to be placed. In this case, we suggest using matplotlib's `~matplotlib.gridspec.GridSpecFromSubplotSpec` to split up the space:: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.gridspec import GridSpecFromSubplotSpec fig, ax = plt.subplots() gs = GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(2, 2, subplot\_spec=ax.get\_subplotspec()) ax\_top\_left = fig.add\_subplot(gs[0, 0]) ax\_top\_right = fig.add\_subplot(gs[0, 1]) ax\_bottom = fig.add\_subplot(gs[1, :]) By default, the `ax` keyword in `plot` is `None`. In this case, the single axes is created and the gridspec api is used to create the regions to plot in. See for example, :meth:`~sklearn.inspection.PartialDependenceDisplay.from\_estimator` which plots multiple lines and contours using this API. The axes defining the bounding box are saved in a `bounding\_ax\_` attribute. The individual axes created are stored in an `axes\_` ndarray, corresponding to the axes position on the grid. Positions that are not used are set to `None`. Furthermore, the matplotlib Artists are stored in `lines\_` and `contours\_` where the key is the position on the grid. When a list of axes is passed in, the `axes\_`, `lines\_`, and `contours\_` are a 1d ndarray corresponding to the list of axes passed in. | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/plotting.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_bug\_triaging: Bug triaging and issue curation =============================== The `issue tracker `\_ is important to the communication in the project: it helps developers identify major projects to work on, as well as to discuss priorities. For this reason, it is important to curate it, adding labels to issues and closing issues that are not necessary. Working on issues to improve them --------------------------------- Improving issues increases their chances of being successfully resolved. Guidelines on submitting good issues can be found :ref:`here `. A third party can give useful feedback or even add comments on the issue. The following actions are typically useful: - documenting issues that are missing elements to reproduce the problem such as code samples - suggesting better use of code formatting - suggesting to reformulate the title and description to make them more explicit about the problem to be solved - linking to related issues or discussions while briefly describing how they are related, for instance "See also #xyz for a similar attempt at this" or "See also #xyz where the same thing happened in SomeEstimator" provides context and helps the discussion. .. topic:: Fruitful discussions Online discussions may be harder than it seems at first glance, in particular given that a person new to open-source may have a very different understanding of the process than a seasoned maintainer. Overall, it is useful to stay positive and assume good will. `The following article `\_ explores how to lead online discussions in the context of open source. Working on PRs to help review ----------------------------- Reviewing code is also encouraged. Contributors and users are welcome to participate in the review process following our :ref:`review guidelines `. Triaging operations for members of the core and contributor experience teams ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the above, members of the core team and the contributor experience team can do the following important tasks: - Update :ref:`labels for issues and PRs `: see the list of the `available github labels `\_. - :ref:`Determine if a PR must be relabeled as stalled ` or needs help (this is typically very important in the context of sprints, where the risk is to create many unfinished PRs) - If a stalled PR is taken over by a newer PR, then label the stalled PR as "Superseded", leave a comment on the stalled PR linking to the new PR, and likely close the stalled PR. - Triage issues: - \*\*close usage questions\*\* and politely point the reporter to use Stack Overflow instead. - \*\*close duplicate issues\*\*, after checking that they are indeed duplicate. Ideally, the original submitter moves the discussion to the older, duplicate issue - \*\*close issues that cannot be replicated\*\*, after leaving time (at least a week) to add extra information :ref:`Saved replies ` are useful to gain time and yet be welcoming and polite when triaging. See the github description for `roles in the organization `\_. .. topic:: Closing issues: a tough call When uncertain on whether an issue should be closed or not, it is best to strive for consensus with the original poster, and possibly to seek relevant expertise. However, when the issue is a usage question, or when it has been considered as unclear for many years it should be closed. A typical workflow for triaging issues -------------------------------------- The following workflow [1]\_ is a good way to approach issue triaging: #. Thank the reporter for opening an issue The issue tracker is many people's first interaction with the scikit-learn project itself, beyond just using the library. As such, we want it to be a welcoming, pleasant experience. #. Is this a usage question? | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/bug_triaging.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

a good way to approach issue triaging: #. Thank the reporter for opening an issue The issue tracker is many people's first interaction with the scikit-learn project itself, beyond just using the library. As such, we want it to be a welcoming, pleasant experience. #. Is this a usage question? If so close it with a polite message (:ref:`here is an example `). #. Is the necessary information provided? If crucial information (like the version of scikit-learn used), is missing feel free to ask for that and label the issue with "Needs info". #. Is this a duplicate issue? We have many open issues. If a new issue seems to be a duplicate, point to the original issue. If it is a clear duplicate, or consensus is that it is redundant, close it. Make sure to still thank the reporter, and encourage them to chime in on the original issue, and perhaps try to fix it. If the new issue provides relevant information, such as a better or slightly different example, add it to the original issue as a comment or an edit to the original post. #. Make sure that the title accurately reflects the issue. If you have the necessary permissions edit it yourself if it's not clear. #. Is the issue minimal and reproducible? For bug reports, we ask that the reporter provide a minimal reproducible example. See `this useful post `\_ by Matthew Rocklin for a good explanation. If the example is not reproducible, or if it's clearly not minimal, feel free to ask the reporter if they can provide an example or simplify the provided one. Do acknowledge that writing minimal reproducible examples is hard work. If the reporter is struggling, you can try to write one yourself. If a reproducible example is provided, but you see a simplification, add your simpler reproducible example. #. Add the relevant labels, such as "Documentation" when the issue is about documentation, "Bug" if it is clearly a bug, "Enhancement" if it is an enhancement request, ... If the issue is clearly defined and the fix seems relatively straightforward, label the issue as “Good first issue”. An additional useful step can be to tag the corresponding module e.g. `sklearn.linear\_models` when relevant. #. Remove the "Needs Triage" label from the issue if the label exists. ..

.. \_setup\_development\_environment: Set up your development environment ----------------------------------- .. \_git\_repo: Fork the scikit-learn repository ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ First, you need to `create an account `\_ on GitHub (if you do not already have one) and fork the `project repository `\_\_ by clicking on the 'Fork' button near the top of the page. This creates a copy of the code under your account on the GitHub user account. For more details on how to fork a repository see `this guide `\_. The following steps explain how to set up a local clone of your forked git repository and how to locally install scikit-learn according to your operating system. Set up a local clone of your fork ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Clone your fork of the scikit-learn repo from your GitHub account to your local disk: .. prompt:: git clone https://github.com/YourLogin/scikit-learn.git # add --depth 1 if your connection is slow and change into that directory: .. prompt:: cd scikit-learn .. \_upstream: Next, add the ``upstream`` remote. This saves a reference to the main scikit-learn repository, which you can use to keep your repository synchronized with the latest changes (you'll need this later in the :ref:`development\_workflow`): .. prompt:: git remote add upstream https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git Check that the `upstream` and `origin` remote aliases are configured correctly by running: .. prompt:: git remote -v This should display: .. code-block:: text origin https://github.com/YourLogin/scikit-learn.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/YourLogin/scikit-learn.git (push) upstream https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git (fetch) upstream https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git (push) Set up a dedicated environment and install dependencies ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ..

You can now install an editable version of scikit-learn with `pip`: .. prompt:: pip install --editable . --verbose --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true .. dropdown:: Note on `--config-settings` `--config-settings editable-verbose=true` is optional but recommended to avoid surprises when you import `sklearn`. `meson-python` implements editable installs by rebuilding `sklearn` when executing `import sklearn`. With the recommended setting you will see a message when this happens, rather than potentially waiting without feedback and wondering what is taking so long. Bonus: this means you only have to run the `pip install` command once, `sklearn` will automatically be rebuilt when importing `sklearn`. Note that `--config-settings` is only supported in `pip` version 23.1 or later. To upgrade `pip` to a compatible version, run `pip install -U pip`. To check your installation, make sure that the installed scikit-learn has a version number ending with `.dev0`: .. prompt:: python -c "import sklearn; sklearn.show\_versions()" You should now have a working installation of scikit-learn and your git repository properly configured. It can be useful to run the tests now (even though it will take some time) to verify your installation and to be aware of warnings and errors that are not related to you contribution: .. prompt:: pytest For more information on testing, see also the :ref:`pr\_checklist` and :ref:`pytest\_tips`. .. \_pre\_commit: Set up pre-commit ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Additionally, install the `pre-commit hooks `\_\_, which will automatically check your code for linting problems before each commit in the :ref:`development\_workflow`: .. prompt:: pre-commit install .. \_OpenMP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP .. \_meson-python: https://mesonbuild.com/meson-python .. \_Ninja: https://ninja-build.org/ .. \_NumPy: https://numpy.org .. \_SciPy: https://www.scipy.org .. \_Homebrew: https://brew.sh .. \_venv: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html .. \_conda: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html .. \_the conda-forge installer: https://conda-forge.org/download/ ..

.. \_minimal\_reproducer: ============================================== Crafting a minimal reproducer for scikit-learn ============================================== Whether submitting a bug report, designing a suite of tests, or simply posting a question in the discussions, being able to craft minimal, reproducible examples (or minimal, workable examples) is the key to communicating effectively and efficiently with the community. There are very good guidelines on the internet such as `this StackOverflow document `\_ or `this blogpost by Matthew Rocklin `\_ on crafting Minimal Complete Verifiable Examples (referred below as MCVE). Our goal is not to be repetitive with those references but rather to provide a step-by-step guide on how to narrow down a bug until you have reached the shortest possible code to reproduce it. The first step before submitting a bug report to scikit-learn is to read the `Issue template `\_. It is already quite informative about the information you will be asked to provide. .. \_good\_practices: Good practices ============== In this section we will focus on the \*\*Steps/Code to Reproduce\*\* section of the `Issue template `\_. We will start with a snippet of code that already provides a failing example but that has room for readability improvement. We then craft a MCVE from it. \*\*Example\*\* .. code-block:: python # I am currently working in a ML project and when I tried to fit a # GradientBoostingRegressor instance to my\_data.csv I get a UserWarning: # "X has feature names, but DecisionTreeRegressor was fitted without # feature names". You can get a copy of my dataset from # https://example.com/my\_data.csv and verify my features do have # names. The problem seems to arise during fit when I pass an integer # to the n\_iter\_no\_change parameter. df = pd.read\_csv('my\_data.csv') X = df[["feature\_name"]] # my features do have names y = df["target"] # We set random\_state=42 for the train\_test\_split X\_train, X\_test, y\_train, y\_test = train\_test\_split( X, y, test\_size=0.33, random\_state=42 ) scaler = StandardScaler(with\_mean=False) X\_train = scaler.fit\_transform(X\_train) X\_test = scaler.transform(X\_test) # An instance with default n\_iter\_no\_change raises no error nor warnings gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor(random\_state=0) gbdt.fit(X\_train, y\_train) default\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) # the bug appears when I change the value for n\_iter\_no\_change gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor(random\_state=0, n\_iter\_no\_change=5) gbdt.fit(X\_train, y\_train) other\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) other\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) Provide a failing code example with minimal comments ---------------------------------------------------- Writing instructions to reproduce the problem in English is often ambiguous. Better make sure that all the necessary details to reproduce the problem are illustrated in the Python code snippet to avoid any ambiguity. Besides, by this point you already provided a concise description in the \*\*Describe the bug\*\* section of the `Issue template `\_. The following code, while \*\*still not minimal\*\*, is already \*\*much better\*\* because it can be copy-pasted in a Python terminal to reproduce the problem in one step. In particular: - it contains \*\*all necessary import statements\*\*; - it can fetch the public dataset without having to manually download a file and put it in the expected location on the disk. \*\*Improved example\*\* .. code-block:: python import pandas as pd df = pd.read\_csv("https://example.com/my\_data.csv") X = df[["feature\_name"]] y = df["target"] from sklearn.model\_selection import train\_test\_split X\_train, X\_test, y\_train, y\_test = train\_test\_split( X, y, test\_size=0.33, random\_state=42 ) from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler scaler = StandardScaler(with\_mean=False) X\_train = scaler.fit\_transform(X\_train) X\_test = scaler.transform(X\_test) from sklearn.ensemble import GradientBoostingRegressor gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor(random\_state=0) gbdt.fit(X\_train, y\_train) # no warning default\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor(random\_state=0, n\_iter\_no\_change=5) gbdt.fit(X\_train, y\_train) # raises warning other\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) other\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) Boil down your script to something as small as possible ------------------------------------------------------- You have to ask yourself which lines of code are relevant and which are not for reproducing the bug.

GradientBoostingRegressor(random\_state=0, n\_iter\_no\_change=5) gbdt.fit(X\_train, y\_train) # raises warning other\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) other\_score = gbdt.score(X\_test, y\_test) Boil down your script to something as small as possible ------------------------------------------------------- You have to ask yourself which lines of code are relevant and which are not for reproducing the bug. Deleting unnecessary lines of code or simplifying the function calls by omitting unrelated non-default options will help you and other contributors narrow down the cause of the bug. In particular, for this specific example: - the warning has nothing to do with the `train\_test\_split` since it already appears in the training step, before we use the test set. - similarly, the lines that compute the scores on the test set are not necessary; - the bug can be reproduced for any value of `random\_state` so leave it to its default; - the bug can be reproduced without preprocessing the data with the `StandardScaler`. \*\*Improved example\*\* .. code-block:: python import pandas as pd df = pd.read\_csv("https://example.com/my\_data.csv") X = df[["feature\_name"]] y = df["target"] from sklearn.ensemble import GradientBoostingRegressor gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor() gbdt.fit(X, y) # no warning gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor(n\_iter\_no\_change=5) gbdt.fit(X, y) # raises warning \*\*DO NOT\*\* report your data unless it is extremely necessary ------------------------------------------------------------ The idea is to make the code as self-contained as possible. For doing so, you can use a :ref:`synth\_data`. It can be generated using numpy, pandas or the :mod:`sklearn.datasets` module. Most of the times the bug is not related to a particular structure of your data. Even if it is, try to find an available dataset that has similar characteristics to yours and that reproduces the problem. In this particular case, we are interested in data that has labeled feature names. \*\*Improved example\*\* .. code-block:: python import pandas as pd from sklearn.ensemble import GradientBoostingRegressor df = pd.DataFrame( { "feature\_name": [-12.32, 1.43, 30.01, 22.17], "target": [72, 55, 32, 43], } ) X = df[["feature\_name"]] y = df["target"] gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor() gbdt.fit(X, y) # no warning gbdt = GradientBoostingRegressor(n\_iter\_no\_change=5) gbdt.fit(X, y) # raises warning As already mentioned, the key to communication is the readability of the code and good formatting can really be a plus. Notice that in the previous snippet we: - try to limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters to avoid horizontal scrollbars in the code snippets blocks rendered on the GitHub issue; - use blank lines to separate groups of related functions; - place all the imports in their own group at the beginning. The simplification steps presented in this guide can be implemented in a different order than the progression we have shown here. The important points are: - a minimal reproducer should be runnable by a simple copy-and-paste in a python terminal; - it should be simplified as much as possible by removing any code steps that are not strictly needed to reproducing the original problem; - it should ideally only rely on a minimal dataset generated on-the-fly by running the code instead of relying on external data, if possible. Use markdown formatting ----------------------- To format code or text into its own distinct block, use triple backticks. `Markdown `\_ supports an optional language identifier to enable syntax highlighting in your fenced code block. For example:: ```python from sklearn.datasets import make\_blobs n\_samples = 100 n\_components = 3 X, y = make\_blobs(n\_samples=n\_samples, centers=n\_components) ``` will render a python formatted snippet as follows .. code-block:: python from sklearn.datasets import make\_blobs n\_samples = 100 n\_components = 3 X, y = make\_blobs(n\_samples=n\_samples, centers=n\_components) It is not necessary to create several blocks of code when submitting a bug report.

snippet as follows .. code-block:: python from sklearn.datasets import make\_blobs n\_samples = 100 n\_components = 3 X, y = make\_blobs(n\_samples=n\_samples, centers=n\_components) It is not necessary to create several blocks of code when submitting a bug report. Remember other reviewers are going to copy-paste your code and having a single cell will make their task easier. In the section named \*\*Actual results\*\* of the `Issue template `\_ you are asked to provide the error message including the full traceback of the exception. In this case, use the `python-traceback` qualifier. For example:: ```python-traceback --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) in 4 vectorizer = CountVectorizer(input=docs, analyzer='word') 5 lda\_features = vectorizer.fit\_transform(docs) ----> 6 lda\_model = LatentDirichletAllocation( 7 n\_topics=10, 8 learning\_method='online', TypeError: \_\_init\_\_() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n\_topics' ``` yields the following when rendered: .. code-block:: python --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) in 4 vectorizer = CountVectorizer(input=docs, analyzer='word') 5 lda\_features = vectorizer.fit\_transform(docs) ----> 6 lda\_model = LatentDirichletAllocation( 7 n\_topics=10, 8 learning\_method='online', TypeError: \_\_init\_\_() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n\_topics' .. \_synth\_data: Synthetic dataset ================= Before choosing a particular synthetic dataset, first you have to identify the type of problem you are solving: Is it a classification, a regression, a clustering, etc? Once that you narrowed down the type of problem, you need to provide a synthetic dataset accordingly. Most of the times you only need a minimalistic dataset. Here is a non-exhaustive list of tools that may help you. NumPy ----- NumPy tools such as `numpy.random.randn `\_ and `numpy.random.randint `\_ can be used to create dummy numeric data. - regression Regressions take continuous numeric data as features and target. .. code-block:: python import numpy as np rng = np.random.RandomState(0) n\_samples, n\_features = 5, 5 X = rng.randn(n\_samples, n\_features) y = rng.randn(n\_samples) A similar snippet can be used as synthetic data when testing scaling tools such as :class:`sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler`. - classification If the bug is not raised during when encoding a categorical variable, you can feed numeric data to a classifier. Just remember to ensure that the target is indeed an integer. .. code-block:: python import numpy as np rng = np.random.RandomState(0) n\_samples, n\_features = 5, 5 X = rng.randn(n\_samples, n\_features) y = rng.randint(0, 2, n\_samples) # binary target with values in {0, 1} If the bug only happens with non-numeric class labels, you might want to generate a random target with `numpy.random.choice `\_. .. code-block:: python import numpy as np rng = np.random.RandomState(0) n\_samples, n\_features = 50, 5 X = rng.randn(n\_samples, n\_features) y = np.random.choice( ["male", "female", "other"], size=n\_samples, p=[0.49, 0.49, 0.02] ) Pandas ------ Some scikit-learn objects expect pandas dataframes as input. In this case you can transform numpy arrays into pandas objects using `pandas.DataFrame `\_, or `pandas.Series `\_. .. code-block:: python import numpy as np import pandas as pd rng = np.random.RandomState(0) n\_samples, n\_features = 5, 5 X = pd.DataFrame( { "continuous\_feature": rng.randn(n\_samples), "positive\_feature": rng.uniform(low=0.0, high=100.0, size=n\_samples), "categorical\_feature": rng.choice(["a", "b", "c"], size=n\_samples), } ) y = pd.Series(rng.randn(n\_samples)) In addition, scikit-learn includes various :ref:`sample\_generators` that can be used to build artificial datasets of controlled size and complexity. `make\_regression` ----------------- As hinted by the name, :class:`sklearn.datasets.make\_regression` produces regression targets with noise as an optionally-sparse random linear combination of random features. .. code-block:: python from sklearn.datasets import make\_regression X, y = make\_regression(n\_samples=1000, n\_features=20) `make\_classification` --------------------- :class:`sklearn.datasets.make\_classification` creates multiclass datasets with multiple Gaussian clusters per class. Noise can be introduced by means of correlated, redundant or uninformative features. .. code-block:: python from sklearn.datasets import make\_classification X, y = make\_classification( n\_features=2, n\_redundant=0, n\_informative=2, n\_clusters\_per\_class=1 ) `make\_blobs` ------------ Similarly to `make\_classification`, :class:`sklearn.datasets.make\_blobs` creates multiclass datasets using normally-distributed clusters of points.

It provides greater control regarding the centers and standard deviations of each cluster, and therefore it is useful to demonstrate clustering. .. code-block:: python from sklearn.datasets import make\_blobs X, y = make\_blobs(n\_samples=10, centers=3, n\_features=2) Dataset loading utilities ------------------------- You can use the :ref:`datasets` to load and fetch several popular reference datasets.

.. \_misc-info: ================================================== Miscellaneous information / Troubleshooting ================================================== Here, you find some more advanced notes and troubleshooting tips related to :ref:`setup\_development\_environment`. .. \_openMP\_notes: Notes on OpenMP =============== Even though the default C compiler on macOS (Apple clang) is confusingly aliased as `/usr/bin/gcc`, it does not directly support OpenMP. .. note:: If OpenMP is not supported by the compiler, the build will be done with OpenMP functionalities disabled. This is not recommended since it will force some estimators to run in sequential mode instead of leveraging thread-based parallelism. Setting the ``SKLEARN\_FAIL\_NO\_OPENMP`` environment variable (before cythonization) will force the build to fail if OpenMP is not supported. To check if `scikit-learn` has been built correctly with OpenMP, run .. prompt:: bash $ python -c "import sklearn; sklearn.show\_versions()" and check if it contains `Built with OpenMP: True`. When using conda on Mac, you can also check that the custom compilers are properly installed from conda-forge using the following command: .. prompt:: bash $ conda list which should include ``compilers`` and ``llvm-openmp``. The compilers meta-package will automatically set custom environment variables: .. prompt:: bash $ echo $CC echo $CXX echo $CFLAGS echo $CXXFLAGS echo $LDFLAGS They point to files and folders from your ``sklearn-dev`` conda environment (in particular in the `bin/`, `include/` and `lib/` subfolders). For instance ``-L/path/to/conda/envs/sklearn-dev/lib`` should appear in ``LDFLAGS``. Notes on Conda ============== Sometimes it can be necessary to open a new prompt before activating a newly created conda environment. If you get any conflicting dependency error messages on Mac or Linux, try commenting out any custom conda configuration in the ``$HOME/.condarc`` file. In particular the ``channel\_priority: strict`` directive is known to cause problems for this setup. Note on dependencies for other Linux distributions ================================================== When precompiled wheels of the runtime dependencies are not available for your architecture (e.g. \*\*ARM\*\*), you can install the system versions: .. prompt:: sudo apt-get install cython3 python3-numpy python3-scipy Notes on Meson ============== When :ref:`building scikit-learn from source `, existing scikit-learn installations and meson builds can lead to conflicts. You can use the `Makefile` provided in the `scikit-learn repository `\_\_ to remove conflicting builds by calling: .. prompt:: bash $ make clean | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/misc_info.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

.. \_performance-howto: ========================= How to optimize for speed ========================= The following gives some practical guidelines to help you write efficient code for the scikit-learn project. .. note:: While it is always useful to profile your code so as to \*\*check performance assumptions\*\*, it is also highly recommended to \*\*review the literature\*\* to ensure that the implemented algorithm is the state of the art for the task before investing into costly implementation optimization. Times and times, hours of efforts invested in optimizing complicated implementation details have been rendered irrelevant by the subsequent discovery of simple \*\*algorithmic tricks\*\*, or by using another algorithm altogether that is better suited to the problem. The section :ref:`warm-restarts` gives an example of such a trick. Python, Cython or C/C++? ======================== .. currentmodule:: sklearn In general, the scikit-learn project emphasizes the \*\*readability\*\* of the source code to make it easy for the project users to dive into the source code so as to understand how the algorithm behaves on their data but also for ease of maintainability (by the developers). When implementing a new algorithm is thus recommended to \*\*start implementing it in Python using Numpy and Scipy\*\* by taking care of avoiding looping code using the vectorized idioms of those libraries. In practice this means trying to \*\*replace any nested for loops by calls to equivalent Numpy array methods\*\*. The goal is to avoid the CPU wasting time in the Python interpreter rather than crunching numbers to fit your statistical model. It's generally a good idea to consider NumPy and SciPy performance tips: https://scipy.github.io/old-wiki/pages/PerformanceTips Sometimes however an algorithm cannot be expressed efficiently in simple vectorized Numpy code. In this case, the recommended strategy is the following: 1. \*\*Profile\*\* the Python implementation to find the main bottleneck and isolate it in a \*\*dedicated module level function\*\*. This function will be reimplemented as a compiled extension module. 2. If there exists a well maintained BSD or MIT \*\*C/C++\*\* implementation of the same algorithm that is not too big, you can write a \*\*Cython wrapper\*\* for it and include a copy of the source code of the library in the scikit-learn source tree: this strategy is used for the classes :class:`svm.LinearSVC`, :class:`svm.SVC` and :class:`linear\_model.LogisticRegression` (wrappers for liblinear and libsvm). 3. Otherwise, write an optimized version of your Python function using \*\*Cython\*\* directly. This strategy is used for the :class:`linear\_model.ElasticNet` and :class:`linear\_model.SGDClassifier` classes for instance. 4. \*\*Move the Python version of the function in the tests\*\* and use it to check that the results of the compiled extension are consistent with the gold standard, easy to debug Python version. 5. Once the code is optimized (not simple bottleneck spottable by profiling), check whether it is possible to have \*\*coarse grained parallelism\*\* that is amenable to \*\*multi-processing\*\* by using the ``joblib.Parallel`` class. .. \_profiling-python-code: Profiling Python code ===================== In order to profile Python code we recommend to write a script that loads and prepare you data and then use the IPython integrated profiler for interactively exploring the relevant part for the code. Suppose we want to profile the Non Negative Matrix Factorization module of scikit-learn. Let us setup a new IPython session and load the digits dataset and as in the :ref:`sphx\_glr\_auto\_examples\_classification\_plot\_digits\_classification.py` example:: In [1]: from sklearn.decomposition import NMF In [2]: from sklearn.datasets import load\_digits In [3]: X, \_ = load\_digits(return\_X\_y=True) Before starting the profiling session and engaging in tentative optimization iterations, it is important to measure the total execution time of the function we want to optimize without any kind of profiler overhead and save it somewhere for later reference:: In [4]: %timeit NMF(n\_components=16, tol=1e-2).fit(X) 1 loops, best of 3: | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/performance.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

Before starting the profiling session and engaging in tentative optimization iterations, it is important to measure the total execution time of the function we want to optimize without any kind of profiler overhead and save it somewhere for later reference:: In [4]: %timeit NMF(n\_components=16, tol=1e-2).fit(X) 1 loops, best of 3: 1.7 s per loop To have a look at the overall performance profile using the ``%prun`` magic command:: In [5]: %prun -l nmf.py NMF(n\_components=16, tol=1e-2).fit(X) 14496 function calls in 1.682 CPU seconds Ordered by: internal time List reduced from 90 to 9 due to restriction <'nmf.py'> ncalls tottime percall cumtime percall filename:lineno(function) 36 0.609 0.017 1.499 0.042 nmf.py:151(\_nls\_subproblem) 1263 0.157 0.000 0.157 0.000 nmf.py:18(\_pos) 1 0.053 0.053 1.681 1.681 nmf.py:352(fit\_transform) 673 0.008 0.000 0.057 0.000 nmf.py:28(norm) 1 0.006 0.006 0.047 0.047 nmf.py:42(\_initialize\_nmf) 36 0.001 0.000 0.010 0.000 nmf.py:36(\_sparseness) 30 0.001 0.000 0.001 0.000 nmf.py:23(\_neg) 1 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 nmf.py:337(\_\_init\_\_) 1 0.000 0.000 1.681 1.681 nmf.py:461(fit) The ``tottime`` column is the most interesting: it gives the total time spent executing the code of a given function ignoring the time spent in executing the sub-functions. The real total time (local code + sub-function calls) is given by the ``cumtime`` column. Note the use of the ``-l nmf.py`` that restricts the output to lines that contain the "nmf.py" string. This is useful to have a quick look at the hotspot of the nmf Python module itself ignoring anything else. Here is the beginning of the output of the same command without the ``-l nmf.py`` filter:: In [5] %prun NMF(n\_components=16, tol=1e-2).fit(X) 16159 function calls in 1.840 CPU seconds Ordered by: internal time ncalls tottime percall cumtime percall filename:lineno(function) 2833 0.653 0.000 0.653 0.000 {numpy.core.\_dotblas.dot} 46 0.651 0.014 1.636 0.036 nmf.py:151(\_nls\_subproblem) 1397 0.171 0.000 0.171 0.000 nmf.py:18(\_pos) 2780 0.167 0.000 0.167 0.000 {method 'sum' of 'numpy.ndarray' objects} 1 0.064 0.064 1.840 1.840 nmf.py:352(fit\_transform) 1542 0.043 0.000 0.043 0.000 {method 'flatten' of 'numpy.ndarray' objects} 337 0.019 0.000 0.019 0.000 {method 'all' of 'numpy.ndarray' objects} 2734 0.011 0.000 0.181 0.000 fromnumeric.py:1185(sum) 2 0.010 0.005 0.010 0.005 {numpy.linalg.lapack\_lite.dgesdd} 748 0.009 0.000 0.065 0.000 nmf.py:28(norm) ... The above results show that the execution is largely dominated by dot product operations (delegated to blas). Hence there is probably no huge gain to expect by rewriting this code in Cython or C/C++: in this case out of the 1.7s total execution time, almost 0.7s are spent in compiled code we can consider optimal. By rewriting the rest of the Python code and assuming we could achieve a 1000% boost on this portion (which is highly unlikely given the shallowness of the Python loops), we would not gain more than a 2.4x speed-up globally. Hence major improvements can only be achieved by \*\*algorithmic improvements\*\* in this particular example (e.g. trying to find operations that are both costly and useless to avoid computing them rather than trying to optimize their implementation). It is however still interesting to check what's happening inside the ``\_nls\_subproblem`` function which is the hotspot if we only consider Python code: it takes around 100% of the accumulated time of the module. In order to better understand the profile of this specific function, let us install ``line\_profiler`` and wire it to IPython: .. prompt:: bash $ pip install line\_profiler \*\*Under IPython 0.13+\*\*, first create a configuration profile: .. prompt:: bash $ ipython profile create Then register the line\_profiler extension in ``~/.ipython/profile\_default/ipython\_config.py``:: c.TerminalIPythonApp.extensions.append('line\_profiler') c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions.append('line\_profiler') This will register the ``%lprun`` magic command in the IPython terminal application and the other frontends such as qtconsole and notebook. Now restart IPython and let us use this new toy:: In [1]: from sklearn.datasets import | https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main//doc/developers/performance.rst | main | scikit-learn | [

By looking at the top values of the ``% Time`` column it is really easy to pin-point the most expensive expressions that would deserve additional care. Memory usage profiling ====================== You can analyze in detail the memory usage of any Python code with the help of `memory\_profiler `\_. First, install the latest version: .. prompt:: bash $ pip install -U memory\_profiler Then, setup the magics in a manner similar to ``line\_profiler``. \*\*Under IPython 0.11+\*\*, first create a configuration profile: .. prompt:: bash $ ipython profile create Then register the extension in ``~/.ipython/profile\_default/ipython\_config.py`` alongside the line profiler:: c.TerminalIPythonApp.extensions.append('memory\_profiler') c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions.append('memory\_profiler') This will register the ``%memit`` and ``%mprun`` magic commands in the IPython terminal application and the other frontends such as qtconsole and notebook. ``%mprun`` is useful to examine, line-by-line, the memory usage of key functions in your program. It is very similar to ``%lprun``, discussed in the previous section. For example, from the ``memory\_profiler`` ``examples`` directory:: In [1] from example import my\_func In [2] %mprun -f my\_func my\_func() Filename: example.py Line # Mem usage Increment Line Contents ============================================== 3 @profile 4 5.97 MB 0.00 MB def my\_func(): 5 13.61 MB 7.64 MB a = [1] \* (10 \*\* 6) 6 166.20 MB 152.59 MB b = [2] \* (2 \* 10 \*\* 7) 7 13.61 MB -152.59 MB del b 8 13.61 MB 0.00 MB return a Another useful magic that ``memory\_profiler`` defines is ``%memit``, which is analogous to ``%timeit``. It can be used as follows:: In [1]: import numpy as np In [2]: %memit np.zeros(1e7) maximum of 3: 76.402344 MB per loop For more details, see the docstrings of the magics, using ``%memit?`` and ``%mprun?``.
