Learn fundamental Machine learning skill set

Chapter3. A Tour of Machine Learning Classifiers Using Scikit-learn

Goal of this Chapter

Take a tour though a selection of popular and powerful machine learning algorithms
Lean about the differences between several supervised learning algorythm for classification
Develop an intuitive appreciation of their strengths and weakness

Summary of this Chapter

Introduction to the concepts of popular classification algorithms
Using the scikit-learn machine learning library
Questions to ask when selecting a machine learning algorithm(how do we choose?)

3.1 Choosing a classification algorithm

no single classifiier works best across all possible scenarios
- Practices are necessary to choose appropriate alogorythm for each problem
comparisons of each algorythm result and selections of best model based on the results are necessary for the particular problem

five main steps for training

Selection of features
Choosing a performance metric
Choosing a classifier and optimization algorithm
Evaluating the performance of the model
Tuning the alogorithm

3.2 First steps with scikit-learn

scikit-learn is an libary that offers,
- a large vriety of learning alogorithms
- functions to preprocess data
- functions to fine-tune and evaluate models

3.2.1 Training a perceptron via scikit-learn

traiging with perceptron model and Iris dataset
- (`datasets.load_iris()](http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.load_iris.html#sklearn.datasets.load_iris)
- ‘data’, the data to learn
- ‘target’the classification labels
```
from sklearn import datasets
import numpy as np

iris = datasets.load_iris()
X = iris.data[:, [2, 3]]
y = iris.target

print('Class labels:', np.unique(y))

> Class labels: [0 1 2]
```

iris datasets has lots of data

iris = datasets.load_iris()
print(iris)

>    {'target': array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

convert class labels to interger is recommended for the optimal performance of many machine learning libraries

split dataset into training dataset and test dataset

from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=0)

Many machine learning and optimization algorithms also require feature scaling for optimal performance
- standardize the features using the StandardScaler class from scikit-learn’s preprocessing module
- μ(sample mean) and σ(standard deviation) for each feature dimesion are estimated
```
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

sc = StandardScaler()
sc.fit(X_train)
X_train_std = sc.transform(X_train)
X_test_std = sc.transform(X_test)
```

Having standardized the training data, we can train a perceptron model

Now ready for traiging a perceptron model!

from sklearn.linear_model import Perceptron
ppn = Perceptron(n_iter=40, eta0=0.1, random_state=0)
ppn.fit(X_train_std, y_train)

> Perceptron(alpha=0.0001, class_weight=None, eta0=0.1, fit_intercept=True,
n_iter=40, n_jobs=1, penalty=None, random_state=0, shuffle=True,
verbose=0, warm_start=False)

Finding an appropriate learning rate requires some experimentation
- If the learning rate is too large, the algorithm will overshoot the global cost minimum
- If the learning rate is too small, the algorithm requires more epochs until convergence, which can make the learning slow
Use random_state parameter for reproducibility of the initial shuf ing of the training dataset after each epoch
- http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.linear_model.Perceptron.html
```
y_pred = ppn.predict(X_test_std)
print('Misclassified samples: %d' % (y_test != y_pred).sum())

>  Misclassified samples: 4
```
perceptron misclassies 4 out of the 45 ower samples
- The misclassication error on the test dataset is 0.089 or 8.9 percent (4 / 45 ≈ 0.089).
- accuracy = 1 - misclassi cation error = 0.911 or 91.1 percent

metcrics module gives us the function to calculate this accuracy as follows:

from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
print('Accuracy: %.2f' % accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))

> Accuracy: 0.91

            linewidths=1,
            marker='o',

plot the result

X_combined_std = np.vstack((X_train_std, X_test_std))
y_combined = np.hstack((y_train, y_test))

plot_decision_regions(X=X_combined_std, y=y_combined,
                  classifier=ppn, test_idx=range(105, 150))
plt.xlabel('petal length [standardized]')
plt.ylabel('petal width [standardized]')
plt.legend(loc='upper left')

plt.tight_layout()
# plt.savefig('./figures/iris_perceptron_scikit.png', dpi=300)
plt.show()

The three ower classes cannot be perfectly separated by a linear decision boundaries
The perceptron algorithm never converges on datasets that aren’t perfectly linearly separable
- The perceptron algorithm is typically not recommended in practice

Tips

cross_validation module was deprecated and might be better to use model_selection module instead.

/Users/takayuki-watanabe/.pyenv/versions/3.5.1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sklearn/cross_validation.py:44: DeprecationWarning: This module was deprecated in version 0.18 in favor of the model_selection module into which all the refactored classes and functions are moved. Also note that the interface of the new CV iterators are different from that of this module. This module will be removed in 0.20.
"This module will be removed in 0.20.", DeprecationWarning)

Question?

sklearn.cross_validation
- http://ogrisel.github.io/scikit-learn.org/sklearn-tutorial/modules/classes.html#module-sklearn.cross_validation
what is train_test_split？
- a function for Split arrays or matrices into random train and test subsets
- http://ogrisel.github.io/scikit-learn.org/sklearn-tutorial/modules/generated/sklearn.cross_validation.train_test_split.html#sklearn.cross_validation.train_test_split
what is Cross-validation ?
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-validation_(statistics)
- 統計学において標本データを分割し、その一部をまず解析して、残る部分でその解析のテストを行い、解析自身の妥当性の検証・確認に当てる手法
特徴量のスケーリングも必要とは？
- 2章の勾配降下法で例があるとのこと
plot_decision_regions関数
- matplogLib.colors.ListedColormapと matplotlib.pyplotを使って実装した関数
線形分離可能なデータセットとは
- http://hokuts.com/2015/11/24/ml1_func/
- 2次元空間における直線、3次元空間における平面
パラメータ n_iter はエポック数(データセットのトレーニング回数)
決定領域とは？
