A balanced random forest classifier.

A balanced random forest differs from a classical random forest by the fact that it will draw a bootstrap sample from the minority class and sample with replacement the same number of samples from the majority class.

Read more in the User Guide.

Added in version 0.4.

Parameters:

n_estimatorsint, default=100

The number of trees in the forest.

criterion{“gini”, “entropy”}, 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_depthint, 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.

min_samples_splitint or float, default=2

The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node:

If int, then consider min_samples_split as the minimum number.
If float, then min_samples_split is a percentage and ceil(min_samples_split * n_samples) are the minimum number of samples for each split.

min_samples_leafint or float, default=1

The minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node:

If int, then consider min_samples_leaf as the minimum number.
If float, then min_samples_leaf is a fraction and ceil(min_samples_leaf * n_samples) are the minimum number of samples for each node.

min_weight_fraction_leaffloat, default=0.0

The minimum weighted fraction of the sum total of weights (of all the input samples) required to be at a leaf node. Samples have equal weight when sample_weight is not provided.

max_features{“auto”, “sqrt”, “log2”}, int, float, or None, default=”sqrt”

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) (same as “auto”).
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.

max_leaf_nodesint, 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.

min_impurity_decreasefloat, default=0.0

A node will be split if this split induces a decrease of the impurity greater than or equal to this value. The weighted impurity decrease equation is the following:

N_t / N * (impurity - N_t_R / N_t * right_impurity
                    - N_t_L / N_t * left_impurity)

where N is the total number of samples, N_t is the number of samples at the current node, N_t_L is the number of samples in the left child, and N_t_R is the number of samples in the right child. N, N_t, N_t_R and N_t_L all refer to the weighted sum, if sample_weight is passed.

bootstrapbool, default=True

Whether bootstrap samples are used when building trees.

Changed in version 0.13: The default of bootstrap will change from True to False in version 0.13. Bootstrapping is already taken care by the internal sampler using replacement=True. This implementation follows the algorithm proposed in [1].

oob_scorebool, default=False

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

sampling_strategyfloat, 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 minority class over the number of samples in the majority class after resampling. Therefore, the ratio is expressed as $\alpha_{us} = N_{m} / N_{rM}$ where $N_{m}$ is the number of samples in the minority class and $N_{rM}$ is the number of samples in the majority class after resampling.

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.

Changed in version 0.11: The default of sampling_strategy will change from "auto" to "all" in version 0.13. This forces to use a bootstrap of the minority class as proposed in [1].

replacementbool, default=False

Whether or not to sample randomly with replacement or not.

Changed in version 0.11: The default of replacement will change from False to True in version 0.13. This forces to use a bootstrap of the minority class and draw with replacement as proposed in [1].

n_jobsint, default=None

Number of CPU cores used during the cross-validation loop. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.

random_stateint, RandomState instance, 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.

verboseint, default=0

Controls the verbosity of the tree building process.

warm_startbool, 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_weightdict, list of dicts, {“balanced”, “balanced_subsample”}, default=None

Weights associated with classes in the form dictionary with the key being the class_label and the value the 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. Note that for multioutput (including multilabel) weights should be defined for each class of every column in its own dict. For example, for four-class multilabel classification weights should be [{0: 1, 1: 1}, {0: 1, 1: 5}, {0: 1, 1: 1}, {0: 1, 1: 1}] instead of [{1:1}, {2:5}, {3:1}, {4:1}]. The “balanced” mode uses the values of y to automatically adjust weights inversely proportional to class frequencies in the input data as n_samples / (n_classes * np.bincount(y)) The “balanced_subsample” mode is the same as “balanced” 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.

ccp_alphanon-negative float, default=0.0

Complexity parameter used for Minimal Cost-Complexity Pruning. The subtree with the largest cost complexity that is smaller than ccp_alpha will be chosen. By default, no pruning is performed.

Added in version 0.6: Added in scikit-learn in 0.22

max_samplesint or float, default=None

If bootstrap is True, the number of samples to draw from X to train each base estimator.

If None (default), then draw X.shape[0] samples.

If int, then draw max_samples samples.

If float, then draw max_samples * X.shape[0] samples. Thus, max_samples should be in the interval (0, 1).

Be aware that the final number samples used will be the minimum between the number of samples given in max_samples and the number of samples obtained after resampling.

Added in version 0.6: Added in scikit-learn in 0.22

monotonic_cstarray-like of int of shape (n_features), default=None

Indicates the monotonicity constraint to enforce on each feature.

1: monotonic increase
0: no constraint
-1: monotonic decrease

If monotonic_cst is None, no constraints are applied.

Monotonicity constraints are not supported for:

multiclass classifications (i.e. when n_classes > 2),
multioutput classifications (i.e. when n_outputs_ > 1),
classifications trained on data with missing values.

The constraints hold over the probability of the positive class.

Added in version 0.12: Only supported when scikit-learn >= 1.4 is installed. Otherwise, a ValueError is raised.

Parameters:

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features): The input samples. Internally, its dtype will be converted to dtype=np.float32. If a sparse matrix is provided, it will be converted into a sparse csr_matrix.

Returns:

X_leavesndarray of 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.

decision_path(X)[source]#

Return the decision path in the forest.

Added in version 0.18.

Parameters:

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features): The input samples. Internally, its dtype will be converted to dtype=np.float32. If a sparse matrix is provided, it will be converted into a sparse csr_matrix.

Returns:

indicatorsparse matrix of shape (n_samples, n_nodes): Return a node indicator matrix where non zero elements indicates that the samples goes through the nodes. The matrix is of CSR format.
n_nodes_ptrndarray of shape (n_estimators + 1,): The columns from indicator[n_nodes_ptr[i]:n_nodes_ptr[i+1]] gives the indicator value for the i-th estimator.

property estimators_samples_#

The subset of drawn samples for each base estimator.

Returns a dynamically generated list of indices identifying the samples used for fitting each member of the ensemble, i.e., the in-bag samples.

Note: the list is re-created at each call to the property in order to reduce the object memory footprint by not storing the sampling data. Thus fetching the property may be slower than expected.

property feature_importances_#

The impurity-based feature importances.

The higher, the more important the feature. The importance of a feature is computed as the (normalized) total reduction of the criterion brought by that feature. It is also known as the Gini importance.

Warning: impurity-based feature importances can be misleading for high cardinality features (many unique values). See sklearn.inspection.permutation_importance as an alternative.

Returns:

feature_importances_ndarray of shape (n_features,): The values of this array sum to 1, unless all trees are single node trees consisting of only the root node, in which case it will be an array of zeros.

fit(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]#

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

Parameters:

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features): The training input samples. Internally, its dtype will be converted to dtype=np.float32. If a sparse matrix is provided, it will be converted into a sparse csc_matrix.
yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs): The target values (class labels in classification, real numbers in regression).
sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,): 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.

Returns:

selfobject: The fitted instance.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:

routingMetadataRequest: A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

The options for each parameter are:

True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to fit.

None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Parameters:

sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED: Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in fit.

Returns:
