Using GridSearchCV with AdaBoost and DecisionTreeClassifier

There are several things wrong in the code you posted: The keys of the param_grid dictionary need to be strings. You should be getting a NameError. The key “abc__n_estimators” should just be “n_estimators”: you are probably mixing this with the pipeline syntax. Here nothing tells Python that the string “abc” represents your AdaBoostClassifier. None (and … Read more

How do you access tree depth in Python’s scikit-learn?

Each instance of RandomForestClassifier has an estimators_ attribute, which is a list of DecisionTreeClassifier instances. The documentation shows that an instance of DecisionTreeClassifier has a tree_ attribute, which is an instance of the (undocumented, I believe) Tree class. Some exploration in the interpreter shows that each Tree instance has a max_depth parameter which appears to … Read more

confused about random_state in decision tree of scikit learn

This is explained in the documentation The problem of learning an optimal decision tree is known to be NP-complete under several aspects of optimality and even for simple concepts. Consequently, practical decision-tree learning algorithms are based on heuristic algorithms such as the greedy algorithm where locally optimal decisions are made at each node. Such algorithms … Read more

Different decision tree algorithms with comparison of complexity or performance

Decision Tree implementations differ primarily along these axes: the splitting criterion (i.e., how “variance” is calculated) whether it builds models for regression (continuous variables, e.g., a score) as well as classification (discrete variables, e.g., a class label) technique to eliminate/reduce over-fitting whether it can handle incomplete data The major Decision Tree implementations are: ID3, or … Read more

How do I find which attributes my tree splits on, when using scikit-learn?

Directly from the documentation ( http://scikit-learn.org/0.12/modules/tree.html ): from io import StringIO out = StringIO() out = tree.export_graphviz(clf, out_file=out) StringIO module is no longer supported in Python3, instead import io module. There is also the tree_ attribute in your decision tree object, which allows the direct access to the whole structure. And you can simply read … Read more

Visualizing decision tree in scikit-learn

Here is one liner for those who are using jupyter and sklearn(18.2+) You don’t even need matplotlib for that. Only requirement is graphviz pip install graphviz than run (according to code in question X is a pandas DataFrame) from graphviz import Source from sklearn import tree Source( tree.export_graphviz(dtreg, out_file=None, feature_names=X.columns)) This will display it in … Read more
