RandomTree

Random Tree generator.

This generator is based on 1. The generator creates a random tree by splitting features at random and setting labels at its leaves.

The tree structure is composed of node objects, which can be either inner nodes or leaf nodes. The choice comes as a function of the parameters passed to its initializer.

Since the concepts are generated and classified according to a tree structure, in theory, it should favor decision tree learners.

Parameters

  • seed_tree ('int | None') – defaults to None

    Seed for random generation of tree.

  • seed_sample ('int | None') – defaults to None

    Seed for random generation of instances.

  • n_classes ('int') – defaults to 2

    The number of classes to generate.

  • n_num_features ('int') – defaults to 5

    The number of numerical features to generate.

  • n_cat_features ('int') – defaults to 5

    The number of categorical features to generate.

  • n_categories_per_feature ('int') – defaults to 5

    The number of values to generate per categorical feature.

  • max_tree_depth ('int') – defaults to 5

    The maximum depth of the tree concept.

  • first_leaf_level ('int') – defaults to 3

    The first level of the tree above max_tree_depth that can have leaves.

  • fraction_leaves_per_level ('float') – defaults to 0.15

    The fraction of leaves per level from first_leaf_level onwards.

Attributes

  • desc

    Return the description from the docstring.

Examples

>>> from river.datasets import synth

>>> dataset = synth.RandomTree(seed_tree=42, seed_sample=42, n_classes=2,
...                            n_num_features=2, n_cat_features=2,
...                            n_categories_per_feature=2, max_tree_depth=6,
...                            first_leaf_level=3, fraction_leaves_per_level=0.15)

>>> for x, y in dataset.take(5):
...     print(x, y)
