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)[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.

estimatorestimator object, default=AdaBoostClassifier()

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.

property base_estimator_#

Attribute for older sklearn version compatibility.

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 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.

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.

Returns:
selfobject

Fitted estimator.

Returns:
yndarray of shape (n_samples,)

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.

True labels for X.

set_fit_request(*, sample_weight: Union[bool, None, str] = '$UNCHANGED$') → EasyEnsembleClassifier[source]#

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

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.

New in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:
sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in fit.

Returns:
selfobject

The updated object.

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.

Estimator parameters.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.
