Plot classification probability

Plot the classification probability for different classifiers. We use a 3 class dataset, and we classify it with a Support Vector classifier, L1 and L2 penalized logistic regression with either a One-Vs-Rest or multinomial setting, and Gaussian process classification.

Linear SVC is not a probabilistic classifier by default but it has a built-in calibration option enabled in this example (probability=True).

The logistic regression with One-Vs-Rest is not a multiclass classifier out of the box. As a result it has more trouble in separating class 2 and 3 than the other estimators.

Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Probability

Out:

Accuracy (train) for L1 logistic: 83.3%
Accuracy (train) for L2 logistic (Multinomial): 82.7%
Accuracy (train) for L2 logistic (OvR): 79.3%
Accuracy (train) for Linear SVC: 82.0%
Accuracy (train) for GPC: 82.7%
