<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Scikit-learn</span></code> is an open source machine learning library that supports

<p>The purpose of this guide is to illustrate some of the main features of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scikit-learn</span></code>. It assumes basic working knowledge of machine learning
practices (model fitting, predicting, cross-validation, etc.). Please refer to

using its <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-fit"><span class="xref std std-term">fit</span></a> method.</p>
<p>Here is a simple example where we fit a

<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-fit"><span class="xref std std-term">fit</span></a> method generally accepts 2 inputs:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>The samples matrix (or design matrix) <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-X"><span class="xref std std-term">X</span></a>. The size of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X</span></code>
is typically <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(n_samples,</span> <span class="pre">n_features)</span></code>, which means that samples are
represented as rows and features are represented as columns.</p></li>
<li><p>The target values <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-y"><span class="xref std std-term">y</span></a> which are real numbers for regression tasks, or
integers for classification (or any other discrete set of values). For
unsupervised learning tasks, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y</span></code> does not need to be specified. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y</span></code> is
usually a 1d array where the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">i</span></code> th entry corresponds to the target of the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">i</span></code> th sample (row) of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X</span></code>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Both <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y</span></code> are usually expected to be numpy arrays or equivalent
<a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-array-like"><span class="xref std std-term">array-like</span></a> data types, though some estimators work with other
formats such as sparse matrices.</p>
<p>Once the estimator is fitted, it can be used for predicting target values of

<h2>Transformers and pre-processors<a class="headerlink" href="#transformers-and-pre-processors" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Machine learning workflows are often composed of different parts. A typical
pipeline consists of a pre-processing step that transforms or imputes the
data, and a final predictor that predicts target values.</p>
<p>In <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scikit-learn</span></code>, pre-processors and transformers follow the same API as
the estimator objects (they actually all inherit from the same
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseEstimator</span></code> class). The transformer objects don’t have a
<a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-predict"><span class="xref std std-term">predict</span></a> method but rather a <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-transform"><span class="xref std std-term">transform</span></a> method that outputs a

<p>Sometimes, you want to apply different transformations to different features:
the <a class="reference internal" href="modules/compose.html#column-transformer"><span class="std std-ref">ColumnTransformer</span></a> is designed for these
use-cases.</p>

<h2>Pipelines: chaining pre-processors and estimators<a class="headerlink" href="#pipelines-chaining-pre-processors-and-estimators" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Transformers and estimators (predictors) can be combined together into a
single unifying object: a <a class="reference internal" href="modules/generated/sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline.html#sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline" title="sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Pipeline</span></code></a>. The pipeline
offers the same API as a regular estimator: it can be fitted and used for
prediction with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fit</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">predict</span></code>. As we will see later, using a
pipeline will also prevent you from data leakage, i.e. disclosing some
testing data in your training data.</p>
<p>In the following example, we <a class="reference internal" href="datasets.html#datasets"><span class="std std-ref">load the Iris dataset</span></a>, split it
into train and test sets, and compute the accuracy score of a pipeline on

<p>Fitting a model to some data does not entail that it will predict well on

<h2>Automatic parameter searches<a class="headerlink" href="#automatic-parameter-searches" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>All estimators have parameters (often called hyper-parameters in the
literature) that can be tuned. The generalization power of an estimator
often critically depends on a few parameters. For example a
<a class="reference internal" href="modules/generated/sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestRegressor.html#sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestRegressor" title="sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestRegressor"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RandomForestRegressor</span></code></a> has a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">n_estimators</span></code>
parameter that determines the number of trees in the forest, and a
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">max_depth</span></code> parameter that determines the maximum depth of each tree.
Quite often, it is not clear what the exact values of these parameters
should be since they depend on the data at hand.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Scikit-learn</span></code> provides tools to automatically find the best parameter
combinations (via cross-validation). In the following example, we randomly
search over the parameter space of a random forest with a
<a class="reference internal" href="modules/generated/sklearn.model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV.html#sklearn.model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV" title="sklearn.model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RandomizedSearchCV</span></code></a> object. When the search
is over, the <a class="reference internal" href="modules/generated/sklearn.model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV.html#sklearn.model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV" title="sklearn.model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RandomizedSearchCV</span></code></a> behaves as

<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>In practice, you almost always want to <a class="reference internal" href="modules/grid_search.html#composite-grid-search"><span class="std std-ref">search over a pipeline</span></a>, instead of a single estimator. One of the main
reasons is that if you apply a pre-processing step to the whole dataset
without using a pipeline, and then perform any kind of cross-validation,
you would be breaking the fundamental assumption of independence between
training and testing data. Indeed, since you pre-processed the data
using the whole dataset, some information about the test sets are
available to the train sets. This will lead to over-estimating the
generalization power of the estimator (you can read more in this <a class="reference external" href="https://www.kaggle.com/alexisbcook/data-leakage">Kaggle
post</a>).</p>
<p>Using a pipeline for cross-validation and searching will largely keep
you from this common pitfall.</p>
