HistogramSplitter¶
Numeric attribute observer for classification tasks that discretizes features using histograms.
Parameters¶
-
n_bins (int) – defaults to
256
The maximum number of bins in the histogram.
-
n_splits (int) – defaults to
32
The number of split points to evaluate when querying for the best split candidate.
Attributes¶
-
is_numeric
Determine whether or not the splitter works with numerical features.
-
is_target_class
Check on which kind of learning task the splitter is designed to work. If
True
, the splitter works with classification trees, otherwise it is designed for regression trees.
Methods¶
best_evaluated_split_suggestion
Get the best split suggestion given a criterion and the target's statistics.
Parameters
- criterion (river.tree.split_criterion.base.SplitCriterion)
- pre_split_dist (Union[List, Dict])
- att_idx (Hashable)
- binary_only (bool)
Returns
BranchFactory: Suggestion of the best attribute split.
clone
Return a fresh estimator with the same parameters.
The clone has the same parameters but has not been updated with any data. This works by looking at the parameters from the class signature. Each parameter is either - recursively cloned if it's a River classes. - deep-copied via copy.deepcopy
if not. If the calling object is stochastic (i.e. it accepts a seed parameter) and has not been seeded, then the clone will not be idempotent. Indeed, this method's purpose if simply to return a new instance with the same input parameters.
cond_proba
Get the probability for an attribute value given a class.
Parameters
- att_val
- target_val (Union[bool, str, int])
Returns
float: Probability for an attribute value given a class.
update
Update statistics of this observer given an attribute value, its target value and the weight of the instance observed.
Parameters
- att_val
- target_val (Union[bool, str, int, numbers.Number])
- sample_weight (float)
