Plot the decision boundaries of a VotingClassifier¶
Plot the decision boundaries of a VotingClassifier for two
features of the Iris dataset.
Plot the class probabilities of the first sample in a toy dataset predicted by
three different classifiers and averaged by the
VotingClassifier.
First, three exemplary classifiers are initialized
(DecisionTreeClassifier,
KNeighborsClassifier, and SVC) and used to
initialize a soft-voting VotingClassifier with weights [2,
1, 2], which means that the predicted probabilities of the
DecisionTreeClassifier and SVC each count 2 times
as much as the weights of the KNeighborsClassifier
classifier when the averaged probability is calculated.
