Digits Classification Exercise¶

A tutorial exercise regarding the use of classification techniques on the Digits dataset.

This exercise is used in the Classification part of the Supervised learning: predicting an output variable from high-dimensional observations section of the A tutorial on statistical-learning for scientific data processing.

KNN score: 0.961111
LogisticRegression score: 0.933333

from sklearn import datasets, linear_model, neighbors

X_digits = X_digits / X_digits.max()

y_train = y_digits[: int(0.9 * n_samples)]
X_test = X_digits[int(0.9 * n_samples) :]
y_test = y_digits[int(0.9 * n_samples) :]
