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

Random under-sampling integrated in the learning of AdaBoost.

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.

New in version 0.4.

Parameters
estimatorestimator object, default=None

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. If None, then the base estimator is DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=1).

New in version 0.12.

n_estimatorsint, default=50

The maximum number of estimators at which boosting is terminated. In case of perfect fit, the learning procedure is stopped early.

learning_ratefloat, default=1.0

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’}, 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_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.

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.

base_estimatorestimator object, default=None

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. If None, then the base estimator is DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=1).

Deprecated since version 0.10: base_estimator is deprecated in version 0.10 and will be removed in 0.12. Use estimator instead.

property base_estimator_#

Estimator used to grow the ensemble.

decision_function(X)[source]#

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. COO, DOK, and LIL are converted to CSR.

Returns
scorendarray of shape of (n_samples, k)

The decision function of the input samples. The order of outputs is the same of that of the classes_ attribute. Binary classification is a special cases with k == 1, otherwise k==n_classes. For binary classification, values closer to -1 or 1 mean more like the first or second class in classes_, respectively.

property estimator_#

Estimator used to grow the ensemble.

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.
