Demonstration of multi-metric evaluation on cross_val_score and GridSearchCV

Multiple metric parameter search can be done by setting the scoring parameter to a list of metric scorer names or a dict mapping the scorer names to the scorer callables.

The scores of all the scorers are available in the cv_results_ dict at keys ending in '_<scorer_name>' ('mean_test_precision', 'rank_test_precision', etc…)

The best_estimator_, best_index_, best_score_ and best_params_ correspond to the scorer (key) that is set to the refit attribute.

Running GridSearchCV using multiple evaluation metrics

X, y = make_hastie_10_2(n_samples=8000, random_state=42)

# The scorers can be either one of the predefined metric strings or a scorer
# callable, like the one returned by make_scorer
scoring = {"AUC": "roc_auc", "Accuracy": make_scorer(accuracy_score)}

# Setting refit='AUC', refits an estimator on the whole dataset with the
# parameter setting that has the best cross-validated AUC score.
# That estimator is made available at ``gs.best_estimator_`` along with
# parameters like ``gs.best_score_``, ``gs.best_params_`` and
# ``gs.best_index_``

    DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42),

)
gs.fit(X, y)
