.HistGradientBoostingClassifier¶
- class sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingClassifier(loss='auto', *, learning_rate=0.1, max_iter=100, max_leaf_nodes=31, max_depth=None, min_samples_leaf=20, l2_regularization=0.0, max_bins=255, categorical_features=None, monotonic_cst=None, warm_start=False, early_stopping='auto', scoring='loss', validation_fraction=0.1, n_iter_no_change=10, tol=1e-07, verbose=0, random_state=None)[source]¶
Histogram-based Gradient Boosting Classification Tree.
This estimator is much faster than
GradientBoostingClassifier
for big datasets (n_samples >= 10 000).This estimator has native support for missing values (NaNs). During training, the tree grower learns at each split point whether samples with missing values should go to the left or right child, based on the potential gain. When predicting, samples with missing values are assigned to the left or right child consequently. If no missing values were encountered for a given feature during training, then samples with missing values are mapped to whichever child has the most samples.
This implementation is inspired by LightGBM.

New in version 0.21.
- Parameters
- loss{‘auto’, ‘binary_crossentropy’, ‘categorical_crossentropy’}, default=’auto’
The loss function to use in the boosting process. ‘binary_crossentropy’ (also known as logistic loss) is used for binary classification and generalizes to ‘categorical_crossentropy’ for multiclass classification. ‘auto’ will automatically choose either loss depending on the nature of the problem.
- learning_ratefloat, default=0.1
The learning rate, also known as shrinkage. This is used as a multiplicative factor for the leaves values. Use
1
for no shrinkage.- max_iterint, default=100
The maximum number of iterations of the boosting process, i.e. the maximum number of trees for binary classification. For multiclass classification,
n_classes
trees per iteration are built.- max_leaf_nodesint or None, default=31
The maximum number of leaves for each tree. Must be strictly greater than 1. If None, there is no maximum limit.
- max_depthint or None, default=None
The maximum depth of each tree. The depth of a tree is the number of edges to go from the root to the deepest leaf. Depth isn’t constrained by default.
- min_samples_leafint, default=20
The minimum number of samples per leaf. For small datasets with less than a few hundred samples, it is recommended to lower this value since only very shallow trees would be built.
- l2_regularizationfloat, default=0
The L2 regularization parameter. Use 0 for no regularization.
- max_binsint, default=255
The maximum number of bins to use for non-missing values. Before training, each feature of the input array
X
is binned into integer-valued bins, which allows for a much faster training stage. Features with a small number of unique values may use less thanmax_bins
bins. In addition to themax_bins
bins, one more bin is always reserved for missing values. Must be no larger than 255.- categorical_featuresarray-like of {bool, int} of shape (n_features) or shape (n_categorical_features,), default=None
Indicates the categorical features.
None : no feature will be considered categorical.
boolean array-like : boolean mask indicating categorical features.
integer array-like : integer indices indicating categorical features.
For each categorical feature, there must be at most
max_bins
unique categories, and each categorical value must be in [0, max_bins -1].Read more in the User Guide.
New in version 0.24.
- monotonic_cstarray-like of int of shape (n_features), default=None
Indicates the monotonic constraint to enforce on each feature. -1, 1 and 0 respectively correspond to a negative constraint, positive constraint and no constraint. Read more in the User Guide.
New in version 0.23.
- warm_startbool, default=False
When set to
True
, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit and add more estimators to the ensemble. For results to be valid, the estimator should be re-trained on the same data only. See the Glossary.- early_stopping‘auto’ or bool, default=’auto’
If ‘auto’, early stopping is enabled if the sample size is larger than 10000. If True, early stopping is enabled, otherwise early stopping is disabled.
New in version 0.23.
- scoringstr or callable or None, default=’loss’
Scoring parameter to use for early stopping. It can be a single string (see The scoring parameter: defining model evaluation rules) or a callable (see Defining your scoring strategy from metric functions). If None, the estimator’s default scorer is used. If
scoring='loss'
, early stopping is checked w.r.t the loss value. Only used if early stopping is performed.- validation_fractionint or float or None, default=0.1
Proportion (or absolute size) of training data to set aside as validation data for early stopping. If None, early stopping is done on the training data. Only used if early stopping is performed.
- n_iter_no_changeint, default=10
Used to determine when to “early stop”. The fitting process is stopped when none of the last
n_iter_no_change
scores are better than then_iter_no_change - 1
-th-to-last one, up to some tolerance. Only used if early stopping is performed.- tolfloat, default=1e-7
The absolute tolerance to use when comparing scores. The higher the tolerance, the more likely we are to early stop: higher tolerance means that it will be harder for subsequent iterations to be considered an improvement upon the reference score.
- verboseint, default=0
The verbosity level. If not zero, print some information about the fitting process.
- random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None
Pseudo-random number generator to control the subsampling in the binning process, and the train/validation data split if early stopping is enabled. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.
- Attributes
- classes_array, shape = (n_classes,)
Class labels.
- do_early_stopping_bool
Indicates whether early stopping is used during training.
n_iter_
intNumber of iterations of the boosting process.
- n_trees_per_iteration_int
The number of tree that are built at each iteration. This is equal to 1 for binary classification, and to
n_classes
for multiclass classification.- train_score_ndarray, shape (n_iter_+1,)
The scores at each iteration on the training data. The first entry is the score of the ensemble before the first iteration. Scores are computed according to the
scoring
parameter. Ifscoring
is not ‘loss’, scores are computed on a subset of at most 10 000 samples. Empty if no early stopping.- validation_score_ndarray, shape (n_iter_+1,)
The scores at each iteration on the held-out validation data. The first entry is the score of the ensemble before the first iteration. Scores are computed according to the
scoring
parameter. Empty if no early stopping or ifvalidation_fraction
is None.- is_categorical_ndarray, shape (n_features, ) or None
Boolean mask for the categorical features.
None
if there are no categorical features.- n_features_in_int
Number of features seen during fit.
New in version 0.24.
- feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (
n_features_in_
,) Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when
X
has feature names that are all strings.New in version 1.0.
