.. include:: _contributors.rst .. currentmodule:: sklearn ============ Version 0.19 ============ .. _changes_0_19: Version 0.19.2 ============== **July, 2018** This release is exclusively in order to support Python 3.7. Related changes --------------- - ``n_iter_`` may vary from previous releases in :class:`linear_model.LogisticRegression` with ``solver='lbfgs'`` and :class:`linear_model.HuberRegressor`. For Scipy <= 1.0.0, the optimizer could perform more than the requested maximum number of iterations. Now both estimators will report at most ``max_iter`` iterations even if more were performed. :issue:`10723` by `Joel Nothman`_. Version 0.19.1 ============== **October 23, 2017** This is a bug-fix release with some minor documentation improvements and enhancements to features released in 0.19.0. Note there may be minor differences in TSNE output in this release (due to :issue:`9623`), in the case where multiple samples have equal distance to some sample. Changelog --------- API changes ........... - Reverted the addition of ``metrics.ndcg_score`` and ``metrics.dcg_score`` which had been merged into version 0.19.0 by error. The implementations were broken and undocumented. - ``return_train_score`` which was added to :class:`model_selection.GridSearchCV`, :class:`model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV` and :func:`model_selection.cross_validate` in version 0.19.0 will be changing its default value from True to False in version 0.21. We found that calculating training score could have a great effect on cross validation runtime in some cases. Users should explicitly set ``return_train_score`` to False if prediction or scoring functions are slow, resulting in a deleterious effect on CV runtime, or to True if they wish to use the calculated scores. :issue:`9677` by :user:`Kumar Ashutosh <thechargedneutron>` and `Joel Nothman`_. - ``correlation_models`` and ``regression_models`` from the legacy gaussian processes implementation have been belatedly deprecated. :issue:`9717` by :user:`Kumar Ashutosh <thechargedneutron>`. Bug fixes ......... - Avoid integer overflows in :func:`metrics.matthews_corrcoef`. :issue:`9693` by :user:`Sam Steingold <sam-s>`. - Fixed a bug in the objective function for :class:`manifold.TSNE` (both exact and with the Barnes-Hut approximation) when ``n_components >= 3``. :issue:`9711` by :user:`goncalo-rodrigues`. - Fix regression in :func:`model_selection.cross_val_predict` where it raised an error with ``method='predict_proba'`` for some probabilistic classifiers. :issue:`9641` by :user:`James Bourbeau <jrbourbeau>`. - Fixed a bug where :func:`datasets.make_classification` modified its input ``weights``. :issue:`9865` by :user:`Sachin Kelkar <s4chin>`. - :class:`model_selection.StratifiedShuffleSplit` now works with multioutput multiclass or multilabel data with more than 1000 columns. :issue:`9922` by :user:`Charlie Brummitt <crbrummitt>`. - Fixed a bug with nested and conditional parameter setting, e.g. setting a pipeline step and its parameter at the same time. :issue:`9945` by `Andreas Müller`_ and `Joel Nothman`_. Regressions in 0.19.0 fixed in 0.19.1: - Fixed a bug where parallelised prediction in random forests was not thread-safe and could (rarely) result in arbitrary errors. :issue:`9830` by `Joel Nothman`_. - Fix regression in :func:`model_selection.cross_val_predict` where it no longer accepted ``X`` as a list. :issue:`9600` by :user:`Rasul Kerimov <CoderINusE>`. - Fixed handling of :func:`model_selection.cross_val_predict` for binary classification with ``method='decision_function'``. :issue:`9593` by :user:`Reiichiro Nakano <reiinakano>` and core devs. - Fix regression in :class:`pipeline.Pipeline` where it no longer accepted ``steps`` as a tuple. :issue:`9604` by :user:`Joris Van den Bossche <jorisvandenbossche>`. - Fix bug where ``n_iter`` was not properly deprecated, leaving ``n_iter`` unavailable for interim use in :class:`linear_model.SGDClassifier`, :class:`linear_model.SGDRegressor`, :class:`linear_model.PassiveAggressiveClassifier`, :class:`linear_model.PassiveAggressiveRegressor` and :class:`linear_model.Perceptron`. :issue:`9558` by `Andreas Müller`_. - Dataset fetchers make sure temporary files are closed before removing them, which caused errors on Windows. :issue:`9847` by :user:`Joan Massich <massich>`. - Fixed a regression in :class:`manifold.TSNE` where it no longer supported metrics other than 'euclidean' and 'precomputed'. :issue:`9623` by :user:`Oli Blum <oliblum90>`. Enhancements ............ - Our test suite and :func:`utils.estimator_checks.check_estimator` can now be run without Nose installed. :issue:`9697` by :user:`Joan Massich <massich>`. - To improve usability of version 0.19's :class:`pipeline.Pipeline` caching, ``memory`` now allows ``joblib.Memory`` instances. This make use of the new :func:`utils.validation.check_memory` helper. issue:`9584` by :user:`Kumar Ashutosh <thechargedneutron>` - Some fixes to examples: :issue:`9750`, :issue:`9788`, :issue:`9815` - Made a FutureWarning in SGD-based estimators less verbose. :issue:`9802` by :user:`Vrishank Bhardwaj <vrishank97>`.

We have some new algorithms in existing estimators, such as multiplicative update in :class:`decomposition.NMF` and multinomial :class:`linear_model.LogisticRegression` with L1 loss (use ``solver='saga'``). Cross validation is now able to return the results from multiple metric evaluations. The new :func:`model_selection.cross_validate` can return many scores on the test data as well as training set performance and timings, and we have extended the ``scoring`` and ``refit`` parameters for grid/randomized search :ref:`to handle multiple metrics <multimetric_grid_search>`. You can also learn faster. For instance, the :ref:`new option to cache transformations <pipeline_cache>` in :class:`pipeline.Pipeline` makes grid search over pipelines including slow transformations much more efficient. And you can predict faster: if you're sure you know what you're doing, you can turn off validating that the input is finite using :func:`config_context`. We've made some important fixes too. We've fixed a longstanding implementation error in :func:`metrics.average_precision_score`, so please be cautious with prior results reported from that function. A number of errors in the :class:`manifold.TSNE` implementation have been fixed, particularly in the default Barnes-Hut approximation. :class:`semi_supervised.LabelSpreading` and :class:`semi_supervised.LabelPropagation` have had substantial fixes. LabelPropagation was previously broken. LabelSpreading should now correctly respect its alpha parameter. Changed models -------------- The following estimators and functions, when fit with the same data and parameters, may produce different models from the previous version. This often occurs due to changes in the modelling logic (bug fixes or enhancements), or in random sampling procedures. - :class:`cluster.KMeans` with sparse X and initial centroids given (bug fix) - :class:`cross_decomposition.PLSRegression` with ``scale=True`` (bug fix) - :class:`ensemble.GradientBoostingClassifier` and :class:`ensemble.GradientBoostingRegressor` where ``min_impurity_split`` is used (bug fix) - gradient boosting ``loss='quantile'`` (bug fix) - :class:`ensemble.IsolationForest` (bug fix) - :class:`feature_selection.SelectFdr` (bug fix) - :class:`linear_model.RANSACRegressor` (bug fix) - :class:`linear_model.LassoLars` (bug fix) - :class:`linear_model.LassoLarsIC` (bug fix) - :class:`manifold.TSNE` (bug fix) - :class:`neighbors.NearestCentroid` (bug fix) - :class:`semi_supervised.LabelSpreading` (bug fix) - :class:`semi_supervised.LabelPropagation` (bug fix) - tree based models where ``min_weight_fraction_leaf`` is used (enhancement) - :class:`model_selection.StratifiedKFold` with ``shuffle=True`` (this change, due to :issue:`7823` was not mentioned in the release notes at the time) Details are listed in the changelog below. (While we are trying to better inform users by providing this information, we cannot assure that this list is complete.) Changelog --------- New features ............ Classifiers and regressors - Added :class:`multioutput.ClassifierChain` for multi-label classification. By :user:`Adam Kleczewski <adamklec>`. - Added solver ``'saga'`` that implements the improved version of Stochastic Average Gradient, in :class:`linear_model.LogisticRegression` and :class:`linear_model.Ridge`. It allows the use of L1 penalty with multinomial logistic loss, and behaves marginally better than 'sag' during the first epochs of ridge and logistic regression. :issue:`8446` by `Arthur Mensch`_. Other estimators - Added the :class:`neighbors.LocalOutlierFactor` class for anomaly detection based on nearest neighbors. :issue:`5279` by `Nicolas Goix`_ and `Alexandre Gramfort`_. - Added :class:`preprocessing.QuantileTransformer` class and :func:`preprocessing.quantile_transform` function for features normalization based on quantiles. :issue:`8363` by :user:`Denis Engemann <dengemann>`, :user:`Guillaume Lemaitre <glemaitre>`, `Olivier Grisel`_, `Raghav RV`_, :user:`Thierry Guillemot <tguillemot>`, and `Gael Varoquaux`_. - The new solver ``'mu'`` implements a Multiplicate Update in :class:`decomposition.NMF`, allowing the optimization of all beta-divergences, including the Frobenius norm, the generalized Kullback-Leibler divergence and the Itakura-Saito divergence. :issue:`5295` by `Tom Dupre la Tour`_.

Refer to the :ref:`multimetric_grid_search` section of the user guide for more information. :issue:`7388` by `Raghav RV`_ - Added the :func:`model_selection.cross_validate` which allows evaluation of multiple metrics. This function returns a dict with more useful information from cross-validation such as the train scores, fit times and score times. Refer to :ref:`multimetric_cross_validation` section of the userguide for more information. :issue:`7388` by `Raghav RV`_ - Added :func:`metrics.mean_squared_log_error`, which computes the mean square error of the logarithmic transformation of targets, particularly useful for targets with an exponential trend. :issue:`7655` by :user:`Karan Desai <karandesai-96>`. - Added :func:`metrics.dcg_score` and :func:`metrics.ndcg_score`, which compute Discounted cumulative gain (DCG) and Normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG). :issue:`7739` by :user:`David Gasquez <davidgasquez>`. - Added the :class:`model_selection.RepeatedKFold` and :class:`model_selection.RepeatedStratifiedKFold`. :issue:`8120` by `Neeraj Gangwar`_. Miscellaneous - Validation that input data contains no NaN or inf can now be suppressed using :func:`config_context`, at your own risk. This will save on runtime, and may be particularly useful for prediction time. :issue:`7548` by `Joel Nothman`_. - Added a test to ensure parameter listing in docstrings match the function/class signature. :issue:`9206` by `Alexandre Gramfort`_ and `Raghav RV`_. Enhancements ............ Trees and ensembles - The ``min_weight_fraction_leaf`` constraint in tree construction is now more efficient, taking a fast path to declare a node a leaf if its weight is less than 2 * the minimum. Note that the constructed tree will be different from previous versions where ``min_weight_fraction_leaf`` is used. :issue:`7441` by :user:`Nelson Liu <nelson-liu>`. - :class:`ensemble.GradientBoostingClassifier` and :class:`ensemble.GradientBoostingRegressor` now support sparse input for prediction. :issue:`6101` by :user:`Ibraim Ganiev <olologin>`. - :class:`ensemble.VotingClassifier` now allows changing estimators by using :meth:`ensemble.VotingClassifier.set_params`. An estimator can also be removed by setting it to ``None``. :issue:`7674` by :user:`Yichuan Liu <yl565>`. - :func:`tree.export_graphviz` now shows configurable number of decimal places. :issue:`8698` by :user:`Guillaume Lemaitre <glemaitre>`. - Added ``flatten_transform`` parameter to :class:`ensemble.VotingClassifier` to change output shape of `transform` method to 2 dimensional. :issue:`7794` by :user:`Ibraim Ganiev <olologin>` and :user:`Herilalaina Rakotoarison <herilalaina>`.

API changes summary ------------------- Trees and ensembles - Gradient boosting base models are no longer estimators. By `Andreas Müller`_. - All tree based estimators now accept a ``min_impurity_decrease`` parameter in lieu of the ``min_impurity_split``, which is now deprecated. The ``min_impurity_decrease`` helps stop splitting the nodes in which the weighted impurity decrease from splitting is no longer at least ``min_impurity_decrease``. :issue:`8449` by `Raghav RV`_. Linear, kernelized and related models - ``n_iter`` parameter is deprecated in :class:`linear_model.SGDClassifier`, :class:`linear_model.SGDRegressor`, :class:`linear_model.PassiveAggressiveClassifier`, :class:`linear_model.PassiveAggressiveRegressor` and :class:`linear_model.Perceptron`. By `Tom Dupre la Tour`_. Other predictors - `neighbors.LSHForest` has been deprecated and will be removed in 0.21 due to poor performance. :issue:`9078` by :user:`Laurent Direr <ldirer>`. - :class:`neighbors.NearestCentroid` no longer purports to support ``metric='precomputed'`` which now raises an error. :issue:`8515` by :user:`Sergul Aydore <sergulaydore>`. - The ``alpha`` parameter of :class:`semi_supervised.LabelPropagation` now has no effect and is deprecated to be removed in 0.21. :issue:`9239` by :user:`Andre Ambrosio Boechat <boechat107>`, :user:`Utkarsh Upadhyay <musically-ut>`, and `Joel Nothman`_. Decomposition, manifold learning and clustering - Deprecate the ``doc_topic_distr`` argument of the ``perplexity`` method in :class:`decomposition.LatentDirichletAllocation` because the user no longer has access to the unnormalized document topic distribution needed for the perplexity calculation. :issue:`7954` by :user:`Gary Foreman <garyForeman>`. - The ``n_topics`` parameter of :class:`decomposition.LatentDirichletAllocation` has been renamed to ``n_components`` and will be removed in version 0.21. :issue:`8922` by :user:`Attractadore`. - :meth:`decomposition.SparsePCA.transform`'s ``ridge_alpha`` parameter is deprecated in preference for class parameter. :issue:`8137` by :user:`Naoya Kanai <naoyak>`. - :class:`cluster.DBSCAN` now has a ``metric_params`` parameter. :issue:`8139` by :user:`Naoya Kanai <naoyak>`. Preprocessing and feature selection - :class:`feature_selection.SelectFromModel` now has a ``partial_fit`` method only if the underlying estimator does. By `Andreas Müller`_. - :class:`feature_selection.SelectFromModel` now validates the ``threshold`` parameter and sets the ``threshold_`` attribute during the call to ``fit``, and no longer during the call to ``transform```. By `Andreas Müller`_. - The ``non_negative`` parameter in :class:`feature_extraction.FeatureHasher` has been deprecated, and replaced with a more principled alternative, ``alternate_sign``. :issue:`7565` by :user:`Roman Yurchak <rth>`. - `linear_model.RandomizedLogisticRegression`, and `linear_model.RandomizedLasso` have been deprecated and will be removed in version 0.21. :issue:`8995` by :user:`Ramana.S <sentient07>`. Model evaluation and meta-estimators - Deprecate the ``fit_params`` constructor input to the :class:`model_selection.GridSearchCV` and :class:`model_selection.RandomizedSearchCV` in favor of passing keyword parameters to the ``fit`` methods of those classes. Data-dependent parameters needed for model training should be passed as keyword arguments to ``fit``, and conforming to this convention will allow the hyperparameter selection classes to be used with tools such as :func:`model_selection.cross_val_predict`. :issue:`2879` by :user:`Stephen Hoover <stephen-hoover>`. - In version 0.21, the default behavior of splitters that use the ``test_size`` and ``train_size`` parameter will change, such that specifying ``train_size`` alone will cause ``test_size`` to be the remainder. :issue:`7459` by :user:`Nelson Liu <nelson-liu>`. - :class:`multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier` now has ``partial_fit``, ``decision_function`` and ``predict_proba`` methods only when the underlying estimator does. :issue:`7812` by `Andreas Müller`_ and :user:`Mikhail Korobov <kmike>`. - :class:`multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier` now has a ``partial_fit`` method only if the underlying estimator does. By `Andreas Müller`_. - The ``decision_function`` output shape for binary classification in :class:`multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier` and :class:`multiclass.OneVsOneClassifier` is now ``(n_samples,)`` to conform to scikit-learn conventions. :issue:`9100` by `Andreas Müller`_. - The :func:`multioutput.MultiOutputClassifier.predict_proba` function used to return a 3d array (``n_samples``, ``n_classes``, ``n_outputs``). In the case where different target columns had different numbers of classes, a ``ValueError`` would be raised on trying to stack matrices with different dimensions. This function now returns a list of arrays where the length of the list is ``n_outputs``, and each array is (``n_samples``, ``n_classes``) for that particular output. :issue:`8093` by :user:`Peter Bull <pjbull>`. - Replace attribute ``named_steps`` ``dict`` to :class:`utils.Bunch` in :class:`pipeline.Pipeline` to enable tab completion in interactive environment. In the case conflict value on ``named_steps`` and ``dict`` attribute, ``dict`` behavior will be prioritized. :issue:`8481` by :user:`Herilalaina Rakotoarison <herilalaina>`. Miscellaneous - Deprecate the ``y`` parameter in ``transform`` and ``inverse_transform``. The method should not accept ``y`` parameter, as it's used at the prediction time. :issue:`8174` by :user:`Tahar Zanouda <tzano>`, `Alexandre Gramfort`_ and `Raghav RV`_. - SciPy >= 0.13.3 and NumPy >= 1.8.2 are now the minimum supported versions for scikit-learn. The following backported functions in :mod:`sklearn.utils` have been removed or deprecated accordingly. :issue:`8854` and :issue:`8874` by :user:`Naoya Kanai <naoyak>` - The ``store_covariances`` and ``covariances_`` parameters of :class:`discriminant_analysis.QuadraticDiscriminantAnalysis` has been renamed to ``store_covariance`` and ``covariance_`` to be consistent with the corresponding parameter names of the :class:`discriminant_analysis.LinearDiscriminantAnalysis`. They will be removed in version 0.21. :issue:`7998` by :user:`Jiacheng <mrbeann>` Removed in 0.19: - ``utils.fixes.argpartition`` - ``utils.fixes.array_equal`` - ``utils.fixes.astype`` - ``utils.fixes.bincount`` - ``utils.fixes.expit`` - ``utils.fixes.frombuffer_empty`` - ``utils.fixes.in1d`` - ``utils.fixes.norm`` - ``utils.fixes.rankdata`` - ``utils.fixes.safe_copy`` Deprecated in 0.19, to be removed in 0.21: - ``utils.arpack.eigs`` - ``utils.arpack.eigsh`` - ``utils.arpack.svds`` - ``utils.extmath.fast_dot`` - ``utils.extmath.logsumexp`` - ``utils.extmath.norm`` - ``utils.extmath.pinvh`` - ``utils.graph.graph_laplacian`` - ``utils.random.choice`` - ``utils.sparsetools.connected_components`` - ``utils.stats.rankdata`` - Estimators with both methods ``decision_function`` and ``predict_proba`` are now required to have a monotonic relation between them. The method ``check_decision_proba_consistency`` has been added in **utils.estimator_checks** to check their consistency. :issue:`7578` by :user:`Shubham Bhardwaj <shubham0704>` - All checks in ``utils.estimator_checks``, in particular :func:`utils.estimator_checks.check_estimator` now accept estimator instances. Most other checks do not accept estimator classes any more. :issue:`9019` by `Andreas Müller`_. - Ensure that estimators' attributes ending with ``_`` are not set in the constructor but only in the ``fit`` method. Most notably, ensemble estimators (deriving from `ensemble.BaseEnsemble`) now only have ``self.estimators_`` available after ``fit``. :issue:`7464` by `Lars Buitinck`_ and `Loic Esteve`_.
