MultiOutputClassifier#

class sklearn.multioutput.MultiOutputClassifier(estimator, *, n_jobs=None)[source]#

Multi target classification.

This strategy consists of fitting one classifier per target. This is a simple strategy for extending classifiers that do not natively support multi-target classification.

Parameters:
estimatorestimator object

An estimator object implementing fit and predict. A predict_proba method will be exposed only if estimator implements it.

n_jobsint or None, optional (default=None)

The number of jobs to run in parallel. fit, predict and partial_fit (if supported by the passed estimator) will be parallelized for each target.

When individual estimators are fast to train or predict, using n_jobs > 1 can result in slower performance due to the parallelism overhead.

None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all available processes / threads. See Glossary for more details.

Changed in version 0.20: n_jobs default changed from 1 to None.

Attributes:
classes_ndarray of shape (n_classes,)

Class labels.

estimators_list of n_output estimators

Estimators used for predictions.

n_features_in_int

Number of features seen during fit. Only defined if the underlying estimator exposes such an attribute when fit.

Added in version 0.24.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Only defined if the underlying estimators expose such an attribute when fit.

Added in version 1.0.

ClassifierChain

A multi-label model that arranges binary classifiers into a chain.

MultiOutputRegressor

Fits one regressor per target variable.

>>> from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

       [1, 0, 1]])
fit(X, Y, sample_weight=None, **fit_params)[source]#

Fit the model to data matrix X and targets Y.

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

The input data.

Yarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_classes)

The target values.

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

Sample weights. If None, then samples are equally weighted. Only supported if the underlying classifier supports sample weights.

**fit_paramsdict of string -> object

Parameters passed to the estimator.fit method of each step.

Added in version 0.23.

Returns:
selfobject

Returns a fitted instance.

get_metadata_routing()[source]#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Added in version 1.3.

Returns:
routingMetadataRouter

A MetadataRouter encapsulating routing information.

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.

partial_fit(X, y, classes=None, sample_weight=None, **partial_fit_params)[source]#

Incrementally fit a separate model for each class output.

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

The input data.

y{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_outputs)

Multi-output targets.

classeslist of ndarray of shape (n_outputs,), default=None

Each array is unique classes for one output in str/int. Can be obtained via [np.unique(y[:, i]) for i in range(y.shape[1])], where y is the target matrix of the entire dataset. This argument is required for the first call to partial_fit and can be omitted in the subsequent calls. Note that y doesn’t need to contain all labels in classes.

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

Sample weights. If None, then samples are equally weighted. Only supported if the underlying regressor supports sample weights.

**partial_fit_paramsdict of str -> object

Parameters passed to the estimator.partial_fit method of each sub-estimator.

Only available if enable_metadata_routing=True. See the User Guide.

Added in version 1.3.

Returns:
selfobject

Returns a fitted instance.

predict(X)[source]#

Predict multi-output variable using model for each target variable.

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

The input data.

Returns:
y{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_outputs)

Multi-output targets predicted across multiple predictors. Note: Separate models are generated for each predictor.

predict_proba(X)[source]#

Return prediction probabilities for each class of each output.

This method will raise a ValueError if any of the estimators do not have predict_proba.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The input data.

Returns:
parray of shape (n_samples, n_classes), or a list of n_outputs such arrays if n_outputs > 1.

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

Changed in version 0.19: This function now returns a list of arrays where the length of the list is n_outputs, and each array is (n_samples, n_classes) for that particular output.

score(X, y)[source]#

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

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_outputs)

True values for X.

Returns:
scoresfloat

Mean accuracy of predicted target versus true target.

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

Configure whether metadata should be requested to be passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please check the 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.

Added in version 1.3.

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.

Parameters:
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_partial_fit_request(*, classes: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$', sample_weight: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → MultiOutputClassifier[source]#

Configure whether metadata should be requested to be passed to the partial_fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please check the User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

  • True: metadata is requested, and passed to partial_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 partial_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.

Added in version 1.3.

classesstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for classes parameter in partial_fit.
