NearestCentroid

class ibex.sklearn.neighbors.NearestCentroid(metric='euclidean', shrink_threshold=None)

Bases: sklearn.neighbors.nearest_centroid.NearestCentroid, ibex._base.FrameMixin

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

Nearest centroid classifier.

Each class is represented by its centroid, with test samples classified to the class with the nearest centroid.

Read more in the User Guide.

metric : string, or callable
The metric to use when calculating distance between instances in a feature array. If metric is a string or callable, it must be one of the options allowed by metrics.pairwise.pairwise_distances for its metric parameter. The centroids for the samples corresponding to each class is the point from which the sum of the distances (according to the metric) of all samples that belong to that particular class are minimized. If the “manhattan” metric is provided, this centroid is the median and for all other metrics, the centroid is now set to be the mean.
shrink_threshold : float, optional (default = None)
Threshold for shrinking centroids to remove features.
centroids_ : array-like, shape = [n_classes, n_features]
Centroid of each class

sklearn.neighbors.KNeighborsClassifier: nearest neighbors classifier

When used for text classification with tf-idf vectors, this classifier is also known as the Rocchio classifier.

fit(X, y)[source]

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

Fit the NearestCentroid model according to the given training data.

X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples, n_features]
Training vector, where n_samples in the number of samples and n_features is the number of features. Note that centroid shrinking cannot be used with sparse matrices.
y : array, shape = [n_samples]
Target values (integers)
predict(X)[source]

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

Perform classification on an array of test vectors X.

The predicted class C for each sample in X is returned.

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

C : array, shape = [n_samples]

If the metric constructor parameter is “precomputed”, X is assumed to be the distance matrix between the data to be predicted and self.centroids_.

score(X, y, sample_weight=None)

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

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

In multi-label classification, this is the subset accuracy which is a harsh metric since you require for each sample that each label set be correctly predicted.

X : array-like, shape = (n_samples, n_features)
Test samples.
y : array-like, shape = (n_samples) or (n_samples, n_outputs)
True labels for X.
sample_weight : array-like, shape = [n_samples], optional
Sample weights.
score : float
Mean accuracy of self.predict(X) wrt. y.
