Model Selection

GridSearchCV

Exhaustive search over specified parameter values for an estimator. Important members are fit, predict. GridSearchCV implements a “fit” and a “score” method. It also implements “score_samples”, “predict”, “predict_proba”, “decision_function”, “transform” and “inverse_transform” if they are implemented in the estimator used. The parameters of the estimator used to apply these methods are optimized by cross-validated grid-search over a parameter grid. :param estimator: This is assumed to implement the scikit-learn estimator interface.

Either estimator needs to provide a score function, or scoring must be passed.
type estimator:

estimator object

param param_grid:
 

Dictionary with parameters names (str) as keys and lists of parameter settings to try as values, or a list of such dictionaries, in which case the grids spanned by each dictionary in the list are explored. This enables searching over any sequence of parameter settings.

type param_grid:
 

dict or list of dictionaries

param scoring:

Strategy to evaluate the performance of the cross-validated model on the test set. If scoring represents a single score, one can use: - a single string (see scoring_parameter); - a callable (see scoring) that returns a single value. If scoring represents multiple scores, one can use: - a list or tuple of unique strings; - a callable returning a dictionary where the keys are the metric

names and the values are the metric scores;

  • a dictionary with metric names as keys and callables a values.
type scoring:

str, callable, list, tuple or dict, default=None

param n_jobs:

Number of jobs to run in parallel. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors.

type n_jobs:

int, default=None

param refit:

Refit an estimator using the best found parameters on the whole dataset. For multiple metric evaluation, this needs to be a str denoting the scorer that would be used to find the best parameters for refitting the estimator at the end. Where there are considerations other than maximum score in choosing a best estimator, refit can be set to a function which returns the selected best_index_ given cv_results_. In that case, the best_estimator_ and best_params_ will be set according to the returned best_index_ while the best_score_ attribute will not be available. The refitted estimator is made available at the best_estimator_ attribute and permits using predict directly on this GridSearchCV instance. Also for multiple metric evaluation, the attributes best_index_, best_score_ and best_params_ will only be available if refit is set and all of them will be determined w.r.t this specific scorer. See scoring parameter to know more about multiple metric evaluation.

type refit:

bool, str, or callable, default=True

param cv:

Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are: - None, to use the default 5-fold cross validation, - integer, to specify the number of folds in a (Stratified)KFold, - CV splitter, - An iterable yielding (train, test) splits as arrays of indices. For integer/None inputs, if the estimator is a classifier and y is either binary or multiclass, StratifiedKFold is used. In all other cases, KFold is used. These splitters are instantiated with shuffle=False so the splits will be the same across calls. Refer User Guide for the various cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

type cv:

int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, default=None

param verbose:

Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages. - >1 : the computation time for each fold and parameter candidate is

displayed;

  • >2 : the score is also displayed;
  • >3 : the fold and candidate parameter indexes are also displayed together with the starting time of the computation.
type verbose:

int

param pre_dispatch:
 

Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:

  • None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs
  • An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned
  • A str, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’
type pre_dispatch:
 

int, or str, default=’2*n_jobs’

param error_score:
 

Value to assign to the score if an error occurs in estimator fitting. If set to ‘raise’, the error is raised. If a numeric value is given, FitFailedWarning is raised. This parameter does not affect the refit step, which will always raise the error.

type error_score:
 

‘raise’ or numeric, default=np.nan

param return_train_score:
 

If False, the cv_results_ attribute will not include training scores. Computing training scores is used to get insights on how different parameter settings impact the overfitting/underfitting trade-off. However computing the scores on the training set can be computationally expensive and is not strictly required to select the parameters that yield the best generalization performance.

type return_train_score:
 

bool, default=False

cca_zoo.model_selection.GridSearchCV.cv_results_

A dict with keys as column headers and values as columns, that can be imported into a pandas DataFrame will be represented by a cv_results_ dict of:

{
'param_kernel': masked_array(data = ['poly', 'poly', 'rbf', 'rbf'],
                             mask = [False False False False]...)

For multi-metric evaluation, the scores for all the scorers are available in the cv_results_ dict at the keys ending with that scorer’s name ('_<scorer_name>') instead of '_score' shown above.

Notes

The parameters selected are those that maximize the score of the left out data, unless an explicit score is passed in which case it is used instead. If n_jobs was set to a value higher than one, the data is copied for each point in the grid (and not n_jobs times). This is done for efficiency reasons if individual jobs take very little time, but may raise errors if the dataset is large and not enough memory is available. A workaround in this case is to set pre_dispatch. Then, the memory is copied only pre_dispatch many times. A reasonable value for pre_dispatch is 2 * n_jobs.

cca_zoo.model_selection.GridSearchCV.classes_

Class labels.

Only available when refit=True and the estimator is a classifier.

cca_zoo.model_selection.GridSearchCV.n_features_in_

Number of features seen during fit.

Only available when refit=True.

RandomizedSearchCV

Randomized search on hyper parameters. RandomizedSearchCV implements a “fit” and a “score” method. It also implements “score_samples”, “predict”, “predict_proba”, “decision_function”, “transform” and “inverse_transform” if they are implemented in the estimator used. The parameters of the estimator used to apply these methods are optimized by cross-validated search over parameter settings. In contrast to GridSearchCV, not all parameter values are tried out, but rather a fixed number of parameter settings is sampled from the specified distributions. The number of parameter settings that are tried is given by n_iter. If all parameters are presented as a list, sampling without replacement is performed. If at least one parameter is given as a distribution, sampling with replacement is used. It is highly recommended to use continuous distributions for continuous parameters.
