# EasyEnsembleClassifier#

class imblearn.ensemble.EasyEnsembleClassifier(n_estimators=10, estimator=None, *, warm_start=False, sampling_strategy='auto', replacement=False, n_jobs=None, random_state=None, verbose=0, base_estimator='deprecated')[source]#

Bag of balanced boosted learners also known as EasyEnsemble.

This algorithm is known as EasyEnsemble [1]. The classifier is an ensemble of AdaBoost learners trained on different balanced bootstrap samples. The balancing is achieved by random under-sampling.

Read more in the User Guide.

New in version 0.4.

Parameters
n_estimatorsint, default=10

Number of AdaBoost learners in the ensemble.

The base AdaBoost classifier used in the inner ensemble. Note that you can set the number of inner learner by passing your own instance.

New in version 0.10.

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 ensemble.

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.

replacementbool, default=False

Whether or not to sample randomly with replacement or not.

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 building process.

The base AdaBoost classifier used in the inner ensemble. Note that you can set the number of inner learner by passing your own instance.

Deprecated since version 0.10: base_estimator was renamed to estimator in version 0.10 and will be removed in 0.12.

Methods

 Average of the decision functions of the base classifiers. fit(X, y) Build a Bagging ensemble of estimators from the training set (X, y). get_params([deep]) Get parameters for this estimator. Predict class for X. Predict class log-probabilities for X. Predict class probabilities for X. score(X, y[, sample_weight]) Return the mean accuracy on the given test data and labels. set_params(**params) Set the parameters of this estimator.
property base_estimator_#

Estimator used to grow the ensemble.

decision_function(X)[source]#

Average of the decision functions of the base classifiers.

Parameters
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples. Sparse matrices are accepted only if they are supported by the base estimator.

Returns
scorendarray of shape (n_samples, k)

The decision function of the input samples. The columns correspond to the classes in sorted order, as they appear in the attribute classes_. Regression and binary classification are special cases with k == 1, otherwise k==n_classes.

property estimator_#

Estimator used to grow the ensemble.

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.

fit(X, y)[source]#

Build a Bagging ensemble of estimators from the training set (X, y).

Parameters
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples. Sparse matrices are accepted only if they are supported by the base estimator.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)

The target values (class labels in classification, real numbers in regression).

Returns
selfobject

Fitted estimator.

get_params(deep=True)[source]#

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters
deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns
paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

property n_features_#

Number of features when fit is performed.

predict(X)[source]#

Predict class for X.

The predicted class of an input sample is computed as the class with the highest mean predicted probability. If base estimators do not implement a predict_proba method, then it resorts to voting.

Parameters
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples. Sparse matrices are accepted only if they are supported by the base estimator.

Returns
yndarray of shape (n_samples,)

The predicted classes.

predict_log_proba(X)[source]#

Predict class log-probabilities for X.

The predicted class log-probabilities of an input sample is computed as the log of the mean predicted class probabilities of the base estimators in the ensemble.

Parameters
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples. Sparse matrices are accepted only if they are supported by the base estimator.

Returns
pndarray of shape (n_samples, n_classes)

The class log-probabilities of the input samples. The order of the classes corresponds to that in the attribute classes_.

predict_proba(X)[source]#

Predict class probabilities for X.

The predicted class probabilities of an input sample is computed as the mean predicted class probabilities of the base estimators in the ensemble. If base estimators do not implement a predict_proba method, then it resorts to voting and the predicted class probabilities of an input sample represents the proportion of estimators predicting each class.

Parameters
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The training input samples. Sparse matrices are accepted only if they are supported by the base estimator.

Returns
pndarray of shape (n_samples, n_classes)

The class probabilities of the input samples. The order of the classes corresponds to that in the attribute classes_.

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

Return the mean accuracy on the given test data and labels.

In multi-label classification, this is the subset accuracy which is a harsh metric since you require for each sample that each label set be correctly predicted.

Parameters
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True labels for X.

sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None

Sample weights.

Returns
scorefloat

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 Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.
