VotingClassifier
(estimators, *, voting='hard', weights=None, n_jobs=None, flatten_transform=True, verbose=False)[source]¶ Soft Voting/Majority Rule classifier for unfitted estimators.
Read more in the User Guide.
New in version 0.17.
- Parameters
- estimatorslist of (str, estimator) tuples
Invoking the
fit
method on theVotingClassifier
will fit clones of those original estimators that will be stored in the class attributeself.estimators_
. An estimator can be set to'drop'
usingset_params
.Changed in version 0.21:
'drop'
is accepted. Using None was deprecated in 0.22 and support was removed in 0.24.- voting{‘hard’, ‘soft’}, default=’hard’
If ‘hard’, uses predicted class labels for majority rule voting. Else if ‘soft’, predicts the class label based on the argmax of the sums of the predicted probabilities, which is recommended for an ensemble of well-calibrated classifiers.
- weightsarray-like of shape (n_classifiers,), default=None
Sequence of weights (
float
orint
) to weight the occurrences of predicted class labels (hard
voting) or class probabilities before averaging (soft
voting). Uses uniform weights ifNone
.- n_jobsint, default=None
The number of jobs to run in parallel for
fit
.None
means 1 unless in ajoblib.parallel_backend
context.-1
means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.New in version 0.18.
- flatten_transformbool, default=True
Affects shape of transform output only when voting=’soft’ If voting=’soft’ and flatten_transform=True, transform method returns matrix with shape (n_samples, n_classifiers * n_classes). If flatten_transform=False, it returns (n_classifiers, n_samples, n_classes).
- verbosebool, default=False
If True, the time elapsed while fitting will be printed as it is completed.
New in version 0.23.
- Attributes
- estimators_list of classifiers
The collection of fitted sub-estimators as defined in
estimators
that are not ‘drop’.- named_estimators_
Bunch
Attribute to access any fitted sub-estimators by name.
New in version 0.20.
- classes_array-like of shape (n_predictions,)
The classes labels.

fit
(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]¶ Fit the estimators.
- Parameters
- X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)
Training vectors, where n_samples is the number of samples and n_features is the number of features.
- yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)
Target values.
- sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None
Sample weights. If None, then samples are equally weighted. Note that this is supported only if all underlying estimators support sample weights.
New in version 0.18.
- Returns
- selfobject
-
fit_transform
(X, y=None, **fit_params)[source]¶ Return class labels or probabilities for each estimator.
Return predictions for X for each estimator.
- Parameters
- X{array-like, sparse matrix, dataframe} of shape (n_samples, n_features)
Input samples

-
get_params
(deep=True)[source]¶ Get the parameters of an estimator from the ensemble.
Returns the parameters given in the constructor as well as the estimators contained within the
estimators
parameter.- Parameters
- deepbool, default=True
Setting it to True gets the various estimators and the parameters of the estimators as well.
-
predict
