Putting it all together¶
Pipelining¶
We have seen that some estimators can transform data and that some estimators can predict variables. We can also create combined estimators:
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
# Define a pipeline to search for the best combination of PCA truncation
# and classifier regularization.
pca = PCA()
# Define a Standard Scaler to normalize inputs
scaler = StandardScaler()
# set the tolerance to a large value to make the example faster
logistic = LogisticRegression(max_iter=10000, tol=0.1)
pipe = Pipeline(steps=[("scaler", scaler), ("pca", pca), ("logistic", logistic)])
X_digits, y_digits = datasets.load_digits(return_X_y=True)
# Parameters of pipelines can be set using '__' separated parameter names:
param_grid = {
"pca__n_components": [5, 15, 30, 45, 60],
"logistic__C": np.logspace(-4, 4, 4),
}
search = GridSearchCV(pipe, param_grid, n_jobs=2)
search.fit(X_digits, y_digits)
print("Best parameter (CV score=%0.3f):" % search.best_score_)
print(search.best_params_)
# Plot the PCA spectrum
pca.fit(X_digits)
fig, (ax0, ax1) = plt.subplots(nrows=2, sharex=True, figsize=(6, 6))
ax0.plot(
np.arange(1, pca.n_components_ + 1), pca.explained_variance_ratio_, "+", linewidth=2
)
ax0.set_ylabel("PCA explained variance ratio")
ax0.axvline(
search.best_estimator_.named_steps["pca"].n_components,
linestyle=":",
label="n_components chosen",
)
