class imblearn.ensemble.RUSBoostClassifier(base_estimator=None, n_estimators=50, learning_rate=1.0, algorithm='SAMME.R', sampling_strategy='auto', replacement=False, random_state=None)[source][source]

Random under-sampling integrating in the learning of an AdaBoost classifier.

During learning, the problem of class balancing is alleviated by random under-sampling the sample at each iteration of the boosting algorithm.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters: base_estimator : object, optional (default=DecisionTreeClassifier) The base estimator from which the boosted ensemble is built. Support for sample weighting is required, as well as proper classes_ and n_classes_ attributes. n_estimators : integer, optional (default=50) The maximum number of estimators at which boosting is terminated. In case of perfect fit, the learning procedure is stopped early. learning_rate : float, optional (default=1.) Learning rate shrinks the contribution of each classifier by learning_rate. There is a trade-off between learning_rate and n_estimators. algorithm : {‘SAMME’, ‘SAMME.R’}, optional (default=’SAMME.R’) If ‘SAMME.R’ then use the SAMME.R real boosting algorithm. base_estimator must support calculation of class probabilities. If ‘SAMME’ then use the SAMME discrete boosting algorithm. The SAMME.R algorithm typically converges faster than SAMME, achieving a lower test error with fewer boosting iterations. sampling_strategy : float, str, dict, callable, (default=’auto’) Sampling information to sample the data set. When float, it corresponds to the desired ratio of the number of samples in the majority class over the number of samples in the minority class after resampling. Therefore, the ratio is expressed as where and are the number of samples in the majority class after resampling and the number of samples in the minority class, respectively. Warning float is only available for binary classification. An error is raised for multi-class classification. When str, specify the class targeted by the resampling. The number of samples in the different classes will be equalized. Possible choices are: 'majority': resample only the majority class; 'not minority': resample all classes but the minority class; 'not majority': resample all classes but the majority class; 'all': resample all classes; 'auto': equivalent to 'not minority'. When dict, the keys correspond to the targeted classes. The values correspond to the desired number of samples for each targeted class. When callable, function taking y and returns a dict. The keys correspond to the targeted classes. The values correspond to the desired number of samples for each class. replacement : bool, optional (default=False) Whether or not to sample randomly with replacement or not. random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None) Control the randomization of the algorithm. 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.

Compute the decision function of X.

Parameters: X : {array-like, sparse matrix} of shape = [n_samples, n_features] The training input samples. Sparse matrix can be CSC, CSR, COO, DOK, or LIL.
