How to plot with xgboost.XGBCClassifier.feature_importances_ model? (Matplotlib)

To change the size of a plot in xgboost.plot_importance, we can take the following steps −

• Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
• Load the data from a csv file.
• Get x and y data from the loaded dataset.
• Get the xgboost.XGBCClassifier.feature_importances_ model instance.
• Fit x and y data into the model.
• Print the model.
• Make a bar plot.
• To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

from numpy import loadtxt
from xgboost import XGBClassifier
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True

# data.csv contains data like -> 13, 145, 82, 19, 110, 22.2, 0.245, 57, 0
dataset = loadtxt('data.csv', delimiter=",")
X = dataset[:, 0:8]
y = dataset[:, 8]

model = XGBClassifier()
model.fit(X, y)

print(model.feature_importances_)

plt.bar(range(len(model.feature_importances_)), model.feature_importances_)

plt.show()

Output

[13:46:53] WARNING: ../src/learner.cc:1095: Starting in XGBoost 1.3.0, the default evaluation metric used with the objective 'binary:logistic' was changed from 'error' to 'logloss'. Explicitly set eval_metric if you'd like to restore the old behavior.
