3.2.4.3.3. sklearn.ensemble.ExtraTreesClassifier

class sklearn.ensemble.ExtraTreesClassifier(n_estimators=10, criterion='gini', max_depth=None, min_samples_split=2, min_samples_leaf=1, min_weight_fraction_leaf=0.0, max_features='auto', max_leaf_nodes=None, bootstrap=False, oob_score=False, n_jobs=1, random_state=None, verbose=0, warm_start=False, class_weight=None)[source]

An extra-trees classifier.

This class implements a meta estimator that fits a number of randomized decision trees (a.k.a. extra-trees) on various sub-samples of the dataset and use averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting.

Parameters:

n_estimators : integer, optional (default=10)

The number of trees in the forest.

criterion : string, optional (default=”gini”)

The function to measure the quality of a split. Supported criteria are “gini” for the Gini impurity and “entropy” for the information gain. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

max_features : int, float, string or None, optional (default=”auto”)

The number of features to consider when looking for the best split:

  • If int, then consider max_features features at each split.
  • If float, then max_features is a percentage and int(max_features * n_features) features are considered at each split.
  • If “auto”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
  • If “sqrt”, then max_features=sqrt(n_features).
  • If “log2”, then max_features=log2(n_features).
  • If None, then max_features=n_features.

Note: the search for a split does not stop until at least one valid partition of the node samples is found, even if it requires to effectively inspect more than max_features features. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

max_depth : integer or None, optional (default=None)

The maximum depth of the tree. If None, then nodes are expanded until all leaves are pure or until all leaves contain less than min_samples_split samples. Ignored if max_leaf_nodes is not None. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

min_samples_split : integer, optional (default=2)

The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)

The minimum number of samples in newly created leaves. A split is discarded if after the split, one of the leaves would contain less then min_samples_leaf samples. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

min_weight_fraction_leaf : float, optional (default=0.)

The minimum weighted fraction of the input samples required to be at a leaf node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

max_leaf_nodes : int or None, optional (default=None)

Grow trees with max_leaf_nodes in best-first fashion. Best nodes are defined as relative reduction in impurity. If None then unlimited number of leaf nodes. If not None then max_depth will be ignored. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

bootstrap : boolean, optional (default=False)

Whether bootstrap samples are used when building trees.

oob_score : bool

Whether to use out-of-bag samples to estimate the generalization error.

n_jobs : integer, optional (default=1)

The number of jobs to run in parallel for both fit and predict. If -1, then the number of jobs is set to the number of cores.

random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)

If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.

verbose : int, optional (default=0)

Controls the verbosity of the tree building process.

warm_start : bool, optional (default=False)

When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble, otherwise, just fit a whole new forest.

class_weight : dict, list of dicts, “auto”, “subsample” or None, optional

Weights associated with classes in the form {class_label: weight}. If not given, all classes are supposed to have weight one. For multi-output problems, a list of dicts can be provided in the same order as the columns of y.

The “auto” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data.

The “subsample” mode is the same as “auto” except that weights are computed based on the bootstrap sample for every tree grown.

For multi-output, the weights of each column of y will be multiplied.

Note that these weights will be multiplied with sample_weight (passed through the fit method) if sample_weight is specified.

Attributes:

estimators_ : list of DecisionTreeClassifier

The collection of fitted sub-estimators.

classes_ : array of shape = [n_classes] or a list of such arrays

The classes labels (single output problem), or a list of arrays of class labels (multi-output problem).

n_classes_ : int or list

The number of classes (single output problem), or a list containing the number of classes for each output (multi-output problem).

feature_importances_ : array of shape = [n_features]

The feature importances (the higher, the more important the feature).

oob_score_ : float

Score of the training dataset obtained using an out-of-bag estimate.

oob_decision_function_ : array of shape = [n_samples, n_classes]

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

apply(X)[source]

Apply trees in the forest to X, return leaf indices.

Parameters:

X : array-like or sparse matrix, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

The input samples. Internally, it will be converted to dtype=np.float32 and if a sparse matrix is provided to a sparse csr_matrix.

Returns:

X_leaves : array_like, shape = [n_samples, n_estimators]

For each datapoint x in X and for each tree in the forest, return the index of the leaf x ends up in.

feature_importances_
Return the feature importances (the higher, the more important the
feature).
Returns:feature_importances_ : array, shape = [n_features]
fit(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]

Build a forest of trees from the training set (X, y).

Parameters:

X : array-like or sparse matrix of shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Sample weights. If None, then samples are equally weighted. Splits that would create child nodes with net zero or negative weight are ignored while searching for a split in each node. In the case of classification, splits are also ignored if they would result in any single class carrying a negative weight in either child node.

y : array-like, shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

Returns:

score : float

Mean accuracy of self.predict(X) wrt. y.

set_params(**params)[source]

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns:self :
transform(X, threshold=None)[source]

Reduce X to its most important features.

Uses coef_ or feature_importances_ to determine the most important features. For models with a coef_ for each class, the absolute sum over the classes is used.

Parameters:

X : array or scipy sparse matrix of shape [n_samples, n_features]

The input samples.

threshold : string, float or None, optional (default=None)

The threshold value to use for feature selection. Features whose importance is greater or equal are kept while the others are discarded. If “median” (resp. “mean”), then the threshold value is the median (resp. the mean) of the feature importances. A scaling factor (e.g., “1.25*mean”) may also be used. If None and if available, the object attribute threshold is used. Otherwise, “mean” is used by default.

Returns:

X_r : array of shape [n_samples, n_selected_features]

The input samples with only the selected features.
