`sklearn.ensemble`.StackingRegressor¶

class sklearn.ensemble.StackingRegressor(estimators, final_estimator=None, *, cv=None, n_jobs=None, passthrough=False, verbose=0)[source]¶

Stack of estimators with a final regressor.

Stacked generalization consists in stacking the output of individual estimator and use a regressor to compute the final prediction. Stacking allows to use the strength of each individual estimator by using their output as input of a final estimator.

Note that estimators_ are fitted on the full X while final_estimator_ is trained using cross-validated predictions of the base estimators using cross_val_predict.

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.

Returns:

selfobject: Returns a fitted instance.

fit_transform(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]¶

Fit the estimators and return the predictions for X for each estimator.

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.

Returns:

y_predsndarray of shape (n_samples, n_estimators): Prediction outputs for each estimator.

get_feature_names_out(input_features=None)[source]¶

Get output feature names for transformation.

Parameters:

input_featuresarray-like of str or None, default=None

Input features. The input feature names are only used when passthrough is True.

If input_features is None, then feature_names_in_ is used as feature names in. If feature_names_in_ is not defined, then names are generated: [x0, x1, ..., x(n_features_in_ - 1)].
If input_features is an array-like, then input_features must match feature_names_in_ if feature_names_in_ is defined.

If passthrough is False, then only the names of estimators are used to generate the output feature names.

Returns:

feature_names_outndarray of str objects: Transformed feature names.

get_metadata_routing()[source]¶

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:

routingMetadataRequest: A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

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.

Returns:

paramsdict: Parameter and estimator names mapped to their values or parameter names mapped to their values.

property n_features_in_¶: Number of features seen during fit.

property named_estimators¶

Dictionary to access any fitted sub-estimators by name.

Returns:

Bunch

predict(X, **predict_params)[source]¶

Predict target for X.

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.
**predict_paramsdict of str -> obj: Parameters to the predict called by the final_estimator. Note that this may be used to return uncertainties from some estimators with return_std or return_cov. Be aware that it will only accounts for uncertainty in the final estimator.

Returns:

y_predndarray of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_output): Predicted targets.

score(X, y, sample_weight=None)[source]¶

Return the coefficient of determination of the prediction.

The coefficient of determination $R^2$ is defined as $(1 - \frac{u}{v})$, where $u$ is the residual sum of squares ((y_true - y_pred)** 2).sum() and $v$ is the total sum of squares ((y_true - y_true.mean()) ** 2).sum(). The best possible score is 1.0 and it can be negative (because the model can be arbitrarily worse). A constant model that always predicts the expected value of y, disregarding the input features, would get a $R^2$ score of 0.0.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features): Test samples. For some estimators this may be a precomputed kernel matrix or a list of generic objects instead with shape (n_samples, n_samples_fitted), where n_samples_fitted is the number of samples used in the fitting for the estimator.
yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs): True values for X.
sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None: Sample weights.

Returns:

scorefloat: $R^2$ of self.predict(X) w.r.t. y.

Notes

The $R^2$ score used when calling score on a regressor uses multioutput='uniform_average' from version 0.23 to keep consistent with default value of r2_score. This influences the score method of all the multioutput regressors (except for MultiOutputRegressor).

set_fit_request(*, sample_weight: Union[bool, None, str] = '$UNCHANGED$') → StackingRegressor[source]¶

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.
False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to fit.
None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.
str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

New in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:

sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED: Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in fit.

Returns:

selfobject: The updated object.

set_output(*, transform=None)[source]¶

Set output container.

See Introducing the set_output API for an example on how to use the API.

Parameters:

transform{“default”, “pandas”}, default=None

Configure output of transform and fit_transform.

"default": Default output format of a transformer
"pandas": DataFrame output
None: Transform configuration is unchanged

Returns:

selfestimator instance: Estimator instance.

set_params(**params)[source]¶

Set the parameters of an estimator from the ensemble.

Valid parameter keys can be listed with get_params(). Note that you can directly set the parameters of the estimators contained in estimators.

Parameters:

**paramskeyword arguments: Specific parameters using e.g. set_params(parameter_name=new_value). In addition, to setting the parameters of the estimator, the individual estimator of the estimators can also be set, or can be removed by setting them to ‘drop’.

Returns:

selfobject: Estimator instance.

set_score_request(*, sample_weight: Union[bool, None, str] = '$UNCHANGED$') → StackingRegressor[source]¶

Request metadata passed to the score method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

True: metadata is requested, and passed to score if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.
False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to score.
None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.
str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

New in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:
