sklearn Imputer() returned features does not fit in fit function

python,python-2.7,scikit-learn

With scikit-learn, initialising the model, training the model and getting the predictions are seperate steps. In your case you have: train_fea = np.array([[1,1,0],[0,0,1],[1,np.nan,0]]) train_fea array([[ 1., 1., 0.], [ 0., 0., 1.], [ 1., nan, 0.]]) #initialise the model imp = Imputer(missing_values='NaN', strategy='mean', axis=0) #train the model imp.fit(train_fea) #get the...

How to handle data with names in scikit-learn?

It is currently not possible to attach names or properties to rows in scikit-learn. This will change soon (https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/4497). But for now, it is really easy to keep track of this yourself. The order of the data points is the same as the order of the cluster labels you get...

What's the most pythonic way to load a matrix in ijv/coo/triplet format?

python,pandas,scipy,scikit-learn

You need to define an unambiguous mapping from the row/column names to some indices (it is not important whether "Apple" is "0", or "1", just that it is represented by a number, hence this won't exactly match your result, but it should not matter). In this example, 'info.txt' contains Apple,Google,1...

Normalization in Sklearn KNN

python-2.7,scikit-learn,classification,knn

It is not automatically done in sklearn. However sklearn provides tools to help you normalize your data, which you can use in sklearn's pipelines.

Understand SciKit Learn CV Validation Scores

python,scikit-learn,classification,cross-validation

As I posted on the mailing list, the documentation makes this quite clear: grid_scores_ : list of named tuples Contains scores for all parameter combinations in param_grid. Each entry corresponds to one parameter setting. Each named tuple has the attributes: parameters, a dict of parameter settings mean_validation_score, the mean score...

Scikit learn cross validation split

In the documentation for this function, it states for the cv arg: cv : cross-validation generator or int, optional, default: None A cross-validation generator to use.

python,math,scikit-learn,cluster-analysis,data-mining

You can easily do this using spectral clustering. You can use the ready implementations such as the one in sklearn or implement it yourself. It is rather easy an easy algorithm. Here is a piece of code doing it in python using sklearn: import numpy as np from sklearn.cluster import...

Scikit learn SGDClassifier: precision and recall change the values each time

scikit-learn,classification,precision-recall

From the docs SGDClassifier has a random_state param that is initialised to None this is a seed value used for the random number generator. You need to fix this value so the results are repeatable so set random_state=0 or whatever favourite number you want clf = SGDClassifier(loss="log", penalty="elasticnet",n_iter=70, random_state=0) should...

Memory issue sklearn pairwise_distances calculation

What version of scikit-learn are you using? And does it run with n_jobs=1? The result should fit in memory, it is 8 * 42588 ** 2 / 1024 ** 3 = 13 Gb. But the data is about 2gb, and will be replicated to each core. So if you have...

Save and reuse TfidfVectorizer in scikit learn

python,nlp,scikit-learn,pickle,text-mining

Firstly, it's better to leave the import at the top of your code instead of within your class: from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer class changeToMatrix(object): def __init__(self,ngram_range=(1,1),tokenizer=StemTokenizer()): ... Next StemTokenizer don't seem to be a canonical class. Possibly you've got it from http://sahandsaba.com/visualizing-philosophers-and-scientists-by-the-words-they-used-with-d3js-and-python.html or maybe somewhere else so we'll assume it...

Python thread locking/class variable initialisation confusion

python,multithreading,class,locking,scikit-learn

Threading by itself does not speed up python processes whose bottleneck is CPU and not the IO(read/write) because of the global interpreter lock (GIL). To actually get the speedup sklearn uses multiprocessing for parallelization. This is different from threading in that the objects are copied into a separate process, and...

Error importing scikit-learn modules

Problem was with scipy/numpy install. I'd been using the (normally excellent!) unofficial installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/. Uninstall/re-install from there made no difference, but installing with the official installers (linked from http://www.scipy.org/install.html) did the trick.

Provide Starting Positions to t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (TSNE) in scikit-learn

apache-spark,scikit-learn

It is currently not possible, but it would be a two-line change. I think it would be a good addition, and we do support init=array for things like k-means. So PR welcome.

How to do LabelEncoding or categorical value in Apache Spark

We're developing sparkit-learn which aims to provide scikit-learn functionality and API on PySpark. You can use SparkLabelEncoder the following way: $ pip install sparkit-learn >>> from splearn.preprocessing import SparkLabelEncoder >>> from splearn import BlockRDD >>> >>> data = ["paris", "paris", "tokyo", "amsterdam"] >>> y = BlockRDD(sc.parallelize(data)) >>> >>> le =...

How can i resample “roc_curve” (fpr,tpr )?

python,pandas,scikit-learn

sklearn.cross_validation.StratifiedShuffleSplit - error: “indices are out-of-bounds”

You're running into the different conventions for Pandas DataFrame indexing versus NumPy ndarray indexing. The arrays train_index and test_index are collections of row indices. But data is a Pandas DataFrame object, and when you use a single index into that object, as in data[train_index], Pandas is expecting train_index to contain...

Python Scikit Decision Tree with variable number of outputs

python,scikit-learn,decision-tree

It sounds like you are trying to do multi-label classification, not multi-output classification. Multi-label can be most easily done by providing an indicator vector that says for each sample and each class whether they are in the class or not, so you get a binary array (0 for not in...

How to properly install sklearn on Eclipse

python-2.7,scikit-learn

Try uninstalling NumPy, SciPy and scikit-learn. Then reinstall those packages. If you are using Windows, binaries for those packages have been provided by Christoph Gohlke, which can be quite convenient. Just download them and then use pip to install.

How does the class_weight parameter in scikit-learn work?

python-3.x,scikit-learn,logistic-regression

First off, it might not be good to just go by recall alone. You can simply achieve a recall of 100% by classifying everything as the positive class. I usually suggest using AUC for selecting parameters, and then finding a threshold for the operating point (say a given precision level)...

Scikit Learn Logistic Regression confusion

The problem you are facing is related to the fact that scikit learn is using regularized logistic regression. The regularization term allows for controlling the trade-off between the fit to the data and generalization to future unknown data. The parameter C is used to control the regularization, in your case:...

Problems obtaining most informative features with scikit learn?

python,pandas,machine-learning,nlp,scikit-learn

To solve this specifically for linear SVM, we first have to understand the formulation of the SVM in sklearn and the differences that it has to MultinomialNB. The reason why the most_informative_feature_for_class works for MultinomialNB is because the output of the coef_ is essentially the log probability of features given...

NaiveBayes classifier handling different data types in python

python,scikit-learn,gaussian,naivebayes

Yes, you will need to convert the strings to numerical values The naive Bayes classifier can not handle strings as there is not a way an string can enter in a mathematical equation. If your strings have some "scalar value" for example "large, medium, small" you might want to classify...

RandomForestClassfier.fit(): ValueError: could not convert string to float

python,scikit-learn,random-forest

You have to do some encoding before using fit. As it was told fit() does not accept Strings but you solve this. There are several classes that can be used : LabelEncoder : turn your string into incremental value OneHotEncoder : use One-of-K algorithm to transform your String into integer...

NearestNeighbors tradeoff - run faster with less accurate results

python,scikit-learn,smooth,nearest-neighbor

First of all, why to use a Ball tree? Maybe your metric does imply this to you, but if that's not the case, you could use a kd-tree too. I will approach your question from a theoretic point of view. The radius parameter is set 1.0 by default. This might...

How to get Best Estimator on GridSearchCV (Random Forest Classifier Scikit)

python,scikit-learn,random-forest,cross-validation

You have to fit your data before you can get the best parameter combination. from sklearn.grid_search import GridSearchCV from sklearn.datasets import make_classification from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier # Build a classification task using 3 informative features X, y = make_classification(n_samples=1000, n_features=10, n_informative=3, n_redundant=0, n_repeated=0, n_classes=2, random_state=0, shuffle=False) rfc = RandomForestClassifier(n_jobs=-1,max_features= 'sqrt'...

Why is TfidfVectorizer in scikit-learn showing this behavior?

python-2.7,scikit-learn,tf-idf

It is advisable to prepend regular expressions with r, this should work: vectorizer2 = TfidfVectorizer(token_pattern=r'(?u)\b\w\w+\b', ngram_range=(1, 2), max_df=1.0, min_df=1) train_set_tfidf = vectorizer2.fit_transform(train_set) This is a known bug in the documentation, but if you look at the source code they do use raw literals....

I'm not sure how to interpret accuracy of this classification with Scikit Learn

python,machine-learning,scikit-learn,classification,text-classification

text_data = load_files("C:/Users/USERNAME/projects/machine_learning/my_project/train", ...) According to the documentation, that line loads your file's contents from C:/Users/USERNAME/projects/machine_learning/my_project/train into text_data.data. It will also load target labels (represented by their integer indexes) for each document into text_data.target. So text_data.data should be a list of strings and text_data.target a list of integers. The labels...

scikit-learn: Random forest class_weight and sample_weight parameters

Identifying a sklearn-model's classes

python,scikit-learn,svm

The grid_search.estimator that you are looking at it the unfitted pipeline. The classes_ attribute only exists after fitting, as the classifier needs to have seen y. What you want it the estimator that was trained using the best parameter settings, which is grid_search.best_estimator_. The following will work: clf = grid_search.best_estimator_.named_steps['svm']...

Plotting a ROC curve in scikit yields only 3 points

python,validation,machine-learning,scikit-learn,roc

The number of points depend on the number of unique values in the input. Since the input vector has only 2 unique values, the function gives correct output.

load_files in scikit-learn not loading all files in directory

python,machine-learning,dataset,scikit-learn,classification

Your data is stored in data.data and target in data.target. Try print(len(data.data)) instead. load_files() simply returns a sklearn.datasets.base.Bunch, which is a simple data wrapper. So, data is in this format: { 'DESCR': None, 'data': [], 'filenames': array(), 'target': array(), 'target_names': [] } This is why len(data) returns 5. Hope this...

SciKit-learn for data driven regression of oscillating data

python,time-series,scikit-learn,regression,prediction

Here is my guess about what is happening in your two types of results: .days does not convert your index into a form that repeats itself between your train and test samples. So it becomes a unique value for every date in your dataset. As a consequence your models either...

Scikit : How to resolve this usecase

A simple yet effective idea would be to train separate classifiers for text and numeric data. Make sure you normalize as you go. Now when you have, say, two different classifiers, you can combine their results to predict whether it is a spam or not. Check http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/ensemble.html To further improve...

Classification with scikit-learn KNN using multi-dimensional features (input dimension error)

Sounds like you want to use features which are themselves multi-dimensional. I'm not sure this works. Consider the increase in complexity that would occur for a distance-based metric like KNN; multi-dimensional features would require distance metrics and would get a lot more involved. I'd first try just flattening the arrays,...

Scikit: Remove feature row if present in all documents

Try this: goodwords = ((countmatrix > 1).mean(axis=0) <= 0.8).nonzero()[0] It first computes a Boolean matrix which is True if countmatrix > 1 and computes the column-wise mean of it. If the mean is less than 0.8 (80%), the corresponding column index is returned by nonzero(). So, goodwords will contain all...

How to list all scikit-learn classifiers that support predict_proba()

python,scikit-learn,confusion-matrix

from sklearn.utils.testing import all_estimators estimators = all_estimators() for name, class_ in estimators: if hasattr(class_, 'predict_proba'): print(name) You can also use CalibratedClassifierCV to make any classifier into one that has predict_proba. This was asked before on SO, but I can't find it, so you should be excused for the duplicate ;)...

Differences between each F1-score values in sklearns.metrics.classification_report and sklearns.metrics.f1_score with a binary confusion matrix

I think that 0.695652 is the same thing with 0.70. In the scikit-learn f1_score documentation explains that in default mode : F1 score gives the positive class in binary classification. Also you can easily reach the score of 0.86 with the formulation of F1 score. The formulation of F1 score...

Python LSA with Sklearn

python,scikit-learn,lsa

SVD is a dimensionality reduction tool, which means it reduces the order (number) of your features to a more representative set. From the source code on github: def fit_transform(self, X, y=None): """Fit LSI model to X and perform dimensionality reduction on X. Parameters ---------- X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape...

Can one train estimators in a scikit-learn pipeline simultaneously?

python,machine-learning,scipy,scikit-learn,pipeline

You can write your own transformer that'll transform input into predictions. Something like this: class PredictionTransformer(sklearn.base.BaseEstimator, sklearn.base.TransformerMixin): def __init__(self, estimator): self.estimator = estimator def fit(self, X, y): self.estimator.fit(X, y) return self def transform(self, X): return self.estimator.predict_proba(X) Then you can use FeatureUnion to glue your transformers together. That said, there's a...

Efficient element-wise function computation in Python

TypeError: get_params() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

python,scikit-learn,classification

This error is almost always misleading, and actually means that you're calling an instance method on the class, rather than the instance (like calling dict.keys() instead of d.keys() on a dict named d).* And that's exactly what's going on here. The docs imply that the best_estimator_ attribute, like the estimator...

Scikit-Learn: How to retrieve prediction probabilities for a KFold CV?

You need to do a GridSearchCrossValidation instead of just CV. CV is used for performance evaluation and itself doesn't fit the estimator actually. from sklearn.datasets import make_classification from sklearn.svm import SVC from sklearn.grid_search import GridSearchCV # unbalanced classification X, y = make_classification(n_samples=1000, weights=[0.1, 0.9]) # use grid search for tuning...

How to get the number of components needed in PCA with all extreme variance?

In sklearn, does a fitted pipeline reapply every transform?

python,scikit-learn,pipeline,feature-selection

The pipeline calls transform on the preprocessing and feature selection steps if you call pl.predict. That means that the features selected in training will be selected from the test data (the only thing that makes sense here). It is unclear what you mean by "apply" here. Nothing new will be...

Generating Difficult Classification Data Sets using scikit-learn

Generally, the combination of a fairly low number of n_samples, a high probability of randomly flipping the label flip_y and a large number of n_classes should get you where you want.

I suspect image1.jpg is a color image, so im is 3D, with shape (num_rows, num_cols, num_color_channels). One option is to tell imread to flatten the image into a 2D array by giving it the argument flatten=True: im = misc.imread('image1.jpg', flatten=True) Or you could apply canny to just one of the...

One Hot Encoding for representing corpus sentences in python

python,machine-learning,nlp,scikit-learn,one-hot

In order to use the OneHotEncoder, you can split your documents into tokens and then map every token to an id (that is always the same for the same string). Then apply the OneHotEncoder to that list. The result is by default a sparse matrix. Example code for two simple...

load data from csv into Scikit learn SVM

python,csv,numpy,scikit-learn

You passed the param delimiter=',' but your csv was not comma separated. So the following works: In [378]: data = np.loadtxt(path_to_data) data Out[378]: array([[ 1.20000000e+01, 1.22000000e+02, 3.40000000e+01], [ 1.22340000e+04, 5.40000000e+01, 2.30000000e+01], [ 2.30000000e+01, 3.40000000e+01, 2.30000000e+01]]) The docs show that by default the delimiter is None and so treats whitespace as...

How does sklearn.cluster.KMeans handle an init ndarray parameter with missing centroids (available centroids less than n_clusters)?

python,scikit-learn,k-means

If you give it a mismatching init it will adjust the number of clusters, as you can see from the source. This is not documented and I would consider it a bug. I'll propose to fix it.

Avarage values of precision, recall and fscore for each label

Controlling the posterior probabilty threshold for LDA and QDA in scikit-learn

machine-learning,nlp,scikit-learn,svm,confusion-matrix

You can change the decision threshold by using the lda.predict_proba and then thresholding the probability manually: lda = LDA().fit(X_train, y_train) probs_positive_class = lda.predict_proba(X_test)[:, 1] # say default is the positive class and we want to make few false positives prediction = probs_positive_class > .9 This will give you a very...

How to interpret scikit's learn confusion matrix and classification report?

Classification report must be straightforward - a report of P/R/F-Measure for each element in your test data. In Multiclass problems, it is not a good idea to read Precision/Recall and F-Measure over the whole data any imbalance would make you feel you've reached better results. That's where such reports help....

scikit-learn pipeline

python,scikit-learn,pipeline,feature-selection

Unfortunately, this is currently not as nice as it could be. You need to use FeatureUnion to concatenate to kinds of features, and the transformer in each needs to select the features and transform them. One way to do that is to make a pipeline of a transformer that selects...

sklearn: Found arrays with inconsistent numbers of samples when calling LinearRegression.fit()

python,scikit-learn,cross-validation

It looks like sklearn requires the data shape of (row number, column number). If your data shape is (row number, ) like (999, ), it does not work. By using numpy.reshape, you should change to (999, 1). Ex. data.reshape((999,1)) In my case, it worked with that.

Using Cross-Validation on a Scikit-Learn Classifer

Why does not GridSearchCV give best score ? - Scikit Learn

python,r,machine-learning,scikit-learn,regression

The best_score_ is the best score from the cross-validation. That is, the model is fit on part of the training data, and the score is computed by predicting the rest of the training data. This is because you passed X_train and y_train to fit; the fit process thus does not...

You can look at RandomForest which is a well known classifier and quite efficient. In scikit-learn, you have some class that can be used over several core like RandomForestClassifier. It has a constructor parameter that can be used to define the number of core or a value that will use...

How to specify the prior probability for scikit-learn's Naive Bayes

python,syntax,machine-learning,scikit-learn

The GaussianNB() implemented in scikit-learn does not allow you to set class prior. If you read the online documentation, you see .class_prior_ is an attribute rather than parameters. Once you fit the GaussianNB(), you can get access to class_prior_ attribute. It is calculated by simply counting the number of different...

Difference between using train_test_split and cross_val_score in sklearn.cross_validation

python,scikit-learn,cross-validation

When using cross_val_score, you'll frequently want to use a KFolds or StratifiedKFolds iterator: http://scikit-learn.org/0.10/modules/cross_validation.html#computing-cross-validated-metrics http://scikit-learn.org/0.10/modules/generated/sklearn.cross_validation.KFold.html#sklearn.cross_validation.KFold By default, cross_val_score will not randomize your data, which can produce odd results like this if you're data isn't random to begin with. The KFolds iterator has a random state parameter:...
