`sklearn.tree`.export_text¶

sklearn.tree.export_text(decision_tree, feature_names=None, max_depth=10, spacing=3, decimals=2, show_weights=False)[source]¶

Build a text report showing the rules of a decision tree.

Note that backwards compatibility may not be supported.

Parameters

decision_treeobject: The decision tree estimator to be exported. It can be an instance of DecisionTreeClassifier or DecisionTreeRegressor.
feature_nameslist, optional (default=None): A list of length n_features containing the feature names. If None generic names will be used (“feature_0”, “feature_1”, …).
max_depthint, optional (default=10): Only the first max_depth levels of the tree are exported. Truncated branches will be marked with “…”.
spacingint, optional (default=3): Number of spaces between edges. The higher it is, the wider the result.
decimalsint, optional (default=2): Number of decimal digits to display.
show_weightsbool, optional (default=False): If true the classification weights will be exported on each leaf. The classification weights are the number of samples each class.

Returns

reportstring: Text summary of all the rules in the decision tree.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
>>> from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
>>> from sklearn.tree import export_text
>>> iris = load_iris()
>>> X = iris['data']
>>> y = iris['target']
>>> decision_tree = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=0, max_depth=2)
>>> decision_tree = decision_tree.fit(X, y)
>>> r = export_text(decision_tree, feature_names=iris['feature_names'])
>>> print(r)
|--- petal width (cm) <= 0.80
|   |--- class: 0
|--- petal width (cm) >  0.80
|   |--- petal width (cm) <= 1.75
|   |   |--- class: 1
|   |--- petal width (cm) >  1.75
