1.6. Nearest Neighbors — scikit-learn 0.20.2 documentation

https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/neighbors.html#nearest-neighbors-classification
Neighbors-based classification is a type of instance-based learning or non-generalizing learning: it does not attempt to construct a general internal model, but simply stores instances of the training data. Classification is computed from a simple majority vote of the nearest neighbors of each point: a query point is assigned the data class which has the most representatives within the nearest neighbors of the point.
scikit-learn implements two different nearest neighbors classifiers:
- KNeighborsClassifier implements learning based on the k nearest neighbors of each query point, where k is an integer value specified by the user.
- RadiusNeighborsClassifier implements learning based on the number of neighbors within a fixed radius r of each training point, where r is a floating-point value specified by the user.

- class sklearn.neighbors.KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=5, weights=’uniform’, algorithm=’auto’, leaf_size=30, p=2, metric=’minkowski’, metric_params=None, n_jobs=None, **kwargs)
- Classifier implementing the k-nearest neighbors vote.
- fit(X, y)
  - Fit the model using X as training data and y as target values
- predict(X)
  - Predict the class labels for the provided data
- score(X, y, sample_weight=None)
  - 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.

Classifier comparison — scikit-learn 0.20.2 documentation

https://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/classification/plot_classifier_comparison.html
A comparison of a several classifiers in scikit-learn on synthetic datasets. The point of this example is to illustrate the nature of decision boundaries of different classifiers. This should be taken with a grain of salt, as the intuition conveyed by these examples does not necessarily carry over to real datasets.

Decision boundary - Wikipedia
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_boundary
- In a statistical-classification problem with two classes, a decision boundary or decision surface is a hypersurface that partitions the underlying vector space into two sets, one for each class. The classifier will classify all the points on one side of the decision boundary as belonging to one class and all those on the other side as belonging to the other class.
- A decision boundary is the region of a problem space in which the output label of a classifier is ambiguous.^[1]
- If the decision surface is a hyperplane, then the classification problem is linear, and the classes are linearly separable.
- Decision boundaries are not always clear cut. That is, the transition from one class in the feature space to another is not discontinuous, but gradual. This effect is common in fuzzy logic based classification algorithms, where membership in one class or another is ambiguous.

3.3. Model evaluation: quantifying the quality of predictions — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation

https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/model_evaluation.html
There are 3 different APIs for evaluating the quality of a model’s predictions:
- Estimator score method: Estimators have a score method providing a default evaluation criterion for the problem they are designed to solve. This is not discussed on this page, but in each estimator’s documentation.
- Scoring parameter: Model-evaluation tools using cross-validation (such as model_selection.cross_val_score andmodel_selection.GridSearchCV) rely on an internal scoring strategy. This is discussed in the section The scoring parameter: defining model evaluation rules.
- Metric functions: The metrics module implements functions assessing prediction error for specific purposes. These metrics are detailed in sections on Classification metrics, Multilabel ranking metrics, Regression metrics and Clustering metrics.
Finally, Dummy estimators are useful to get a baseline value of those metrics for random predictions.
3.3.2. Classification metrics

  - sklearn.metrics.accuracy_score — scikit-learn 0.20.2 documentation
    - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.accuracy_score.html　　
    - sklearn.metrics.accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred, normalize=True, sample_weight=None)
    - Accuracy classification score.
    - In multilabel classification, this function computes subset accuracy: the set of labels predicted for a sample must exactly match the corresponding set of labels in y_true.
- 3.3.2.5. Confusion matrix
  - sklearn.metrics.confusion_matrix — scikit-learn 0.20.2 documentation
    - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.confusion_matrix.html　　
    - sklearn.metrics.confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred, labels=None, sample_weight=None)
    - Compute confusion matrix to evaluate the accuracy of a classification
- 3.3.2.6. Classification report
  - The classification_report function builds a text report showing the main classification metrics.
- 3.3.2.9. Precision, recall and F-measures
  - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/model_evaluation.html#precision-recall-and-f-measures
  - Intuitively, precision is the ability of the classifier not to label as positive a sample that is negative, and recall is the ability of the classifier to find all the positive samples.
    - sklearn.metrics.precision_score — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation
      - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.precision_score.html#sklearn-metrics-precision-score
      - sklearn.metrics.precision_score(y_true, y_pred, labels=None, pos_label=1, average=’binary’, sample_weight=None)
      - Compute the precision
      - The precision is the ratio tp / (tp + fp) where tp is the number of true positives and fp the number of false positives. The precision is intuitively the ability of the classifier not to label as positive a sample that is negative.
      - The best value is 1 and the worst value is 0.
    - sklearn.metrics.recall_score — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation
      - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.recall_score.html#sklearn-metrics-recall-score
      - sklearn.metrics.recall_score(y_true, y_pred, labels=None, pos_label=1, average=’binary’, sample_weight=None)
      - Compute the recall
      - The recall is the ratio tp / (tp + fn) where tp is the number of true positives and fn the number of false negatives. The recall is intuitively the ability of the classifier to find all the positive samples.
      - The best value is 1 and the worst value is 0.　　
  - The F-measure (Fβ and F1 measures) can be interpreted as a weighted harmonic mean of the precision and recall. A Fβ measure reaches its best value at 1 and its worst score at 0. With β=1, Fβ and F1 are equivalent, and the recall and the precision are equally important.
    - sklearn.metrics.f1_score — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation
      - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.f1_score.html#sklearn-metrics-f1-score
      - sklearn.metrics.f1_score(y_true, y_pred, labels=None, pos_label=1, average=’binary’, sample_weight=None)
      - Compute the F1 score, also known as balanced F-score or F-measure
      - The F1 score can be interpreted as a weighted average of the precision and recall, where an F1 score reaches its best value at 1 and worst score at 0. The relative contribution of precision and recall to the F1 score are equal. The formula for the F1 score is:
        F1 = 2 * (precision * recall) / (precision + recall)
      - In the multi-class and multi-label case, this is the average of the F1 score of each class with weighting depending on the average parameter.
  - The precision_recall_curve computes a precision-recall curve from the ground truth label and a score given by the classifier by varying a decision threshold.
    - sklearn.metrics.precision_recall_curve — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation
      - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.precision_recall_curve.html#sklearn.metrics.precision_recall_curve
      - sklearn.metrics.precision_recall_curve(y_true, probas_pred, pos_label=None, sample_weight=None)
  - The average_precision_score function computes the average precision (AP) from prediction scores. The value is between 0 and 1 and higher is better. AP is defined as
    - AP=∑n(Rn−Rn−1)Pn　　
    - where Pn and Rn are the precision and recall at the nth threshold. With random predictions, the AP is the fraction of positive samples.

      - sklearn.metrics.average_precision_score(y_true, y_score, average=’macro’, pos_label=1, sample_weight=None)
      - Area under the precision-recall curve
  - Precision-Recall — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation
    - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/model_selection/plot_precision_recall.html　　
    - Example of Precision-Recall metric to evaluate classifier output quality.
    - Precision-Recall is a useful measure of success of prediction when the classes are very imbalanced. In information retrieval, precision is a measure of result relevancy, while recall is a measure of how many truly relevant results are returned.
    - The precision-recall curve shows the tradeoff between precision and recall for different threshold. A high area under the curve represents both high recall and high precision, where high precision relates to a low false positive rate, and high recall relates to a low false negative rate. High scores for both show that the classifier is returning accurate results (high precision), as well as returning a majority of all positive results (high recall).
- 3.3.2.13. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
  - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/model_evaluation.html#receiver-operating-characteristic-roc
  - The function roc_curve computes the receiver operating characteristic curve, or ROC curve. Quoting Wikipedia :
    - “A receiver operating characteristic (ROC), or simply ROC curve, is a graphical plot which illustrates the performance of a binary classifier system as its discrimination threshold is varied. It is created by plotting the fraction of true positives out of the positives (TPR = true positive rate) vs. the fraction of false positives out of the negatives (FPR = false positive rate), at various threshold settings. TPR is also known as sensitivity, and FPR is one minus the specificity or true negative rate.”
  - This function requires the true binary value and the target scores, which can either be probability estimates of the positive class, confidence values, or binary decisions.
    - sklearn.metrics.roc_curve — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation
      - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.roc_curve.html#sklearn.metrics.roc_curve
      - sklearn.metrics.roc_curve(y_true, y_score, pos_label=None, sample_weight=None, drop_intermediate=True)
  - The roc_auc_score function computes the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which is also denoted by AUC or AUROC. By computing the area under the roc curve, the curve information is summarized in one number. For more information see the Wikipedia article on AUC.

  - Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) — scikit-learn 0.20.3 documentation
    - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/model_selection/plot_roc.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-model-selection-plot-roc-py
    - Example of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) metric to evaluate classifier output quality.
    - ROC curves typically feature true positive rate on the Y axis, and false positive rate on the X axis. This means that the top left corner of the plot is the “ideal” point - a false positive rate of zero, and a true positive rate of one. This is not very realistic, but it does mean that a larger area under the curve (AUC) is usually better.
    - The “steepness” of ROC curves is also important, since it is ideal to maximize the true positive rate while minimizing the false positive rate.
