# sklearn.metrics.PrecisionRecallDisplay¶

class sklearn.metrics.PrecisionRecallDisplay(precision, recall, *, average_precision=None, estimator_name=None, pos_label=None)[source]

Precision Recall visualization.

It is recommend to use from_estimator or from_predictions to create a PredictionRecallDisplay. All parameters are stored as attributes.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:
precisionndarray

Precision values.

recallndarray

Recall values.

average_precisionfloat, default=None

Average precision. If None, the average precision is not shown.

estimator_namestr, default=None

Name of estimator. If None, then the estimator name is not shown.

pos_labelstr or int, default=None

The class considered as the positive class. If None, the class will not be shown in the legend.

New in version 0.24.

Attributes:
line_matplotlib Artist

Precision recall curve.

ax_matplotlib Axes

Axes with precision recall curve.

figure_matplotlib Figure

Figure containing the curve.

precision_recall_curve

Compute precision-recall pairs for different probability thresholds.

PrecisionRecallDisplay.from_estimator

Plot Precision Recall Curve given a binary classifier.

PrecisionRecallDisplay.from_predictions

Plot Precision Recall Curve using predictions from a binary classifier.

Notes

The average precision (cf. average_precision) in scikit-learn is computed without any interpolation. To be consistent with this metric, the precision-recall curve is plotted without any interpolation as well (step-wise style).

You can change this style by passing the keyword argument drawstyle="default" in plot, from_estimator, or from_predictions. However, the curve will not be strictly consistent with the reported average precision.

...                                                     random_state=0)
>>> clf = SVC(random_state=0)
>>> clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
SVC(random_state=0)
>>> predictions = clf.predict(X_test)
>>> precision, recall, _ = precision_recall_curve(y_test, predictions)
>>> disp = PrecisionRecallDisplay(precision=precision, recall=recall)
>>> disp.plot()

>>> plt.show()


Methods

 from_estimator(estimator, X, y, *[, ...]) Plot precision-recall curve given an estimator and some data. from_predictions(y_true, y_pred, *[, ...]) Plot precision-recall curve given binary class predictions. plot([ax, name]) Plot visualization.
classmethod from_estimator(estimator, X, y, *, sample_weight=None, pos_label=None, drop_intermediate=False, response_method='auto', name=None, ax=None, **kwargs)[source]

Plot precision-recall curve given an estimator and some data.

Parameters:
estimatorestimator instance

Fitted classifier or a fitted Pipeline in which the last estimator is a classifier.

X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Input values.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)

Target values.

sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None

Sample weights.

pos_labelstr or int, default=None

The class considered as the positive class when computing the precision and recall metrics. By default, estimators.classes_[1] is considered as the positive class.

drop_intermediatebool, default=False

Whether to drop some suboptimal thresholds which would not appear on a plotted precision-recall curve. This is useful in order to create lighter precision-recall curves.

New in version 1.3.

response_method{‘predict_proba’, ‘decision_function’, ‘auto’}, default=’auto’

Specifies whether to use predict_proba or decision_function as the target response. If set to ‘auto’, predict_proba is tried first and if it does not exist decision_function is tried next.

namestr, default=None

Name for labeling curve. If None, no name is used.

axmatplotlib axes, default=None

Axes object to plot on. If None, a new figure and axes is created.

**kwargsdict

Keyword arguments to be passed to matplotlib’s plot.

Returns:
displayPrecisionRecallDisplay

PrecisionRecallDisplay.from_predictions

Plot precision-recall curve using estimated probabilities or output of decision function.

Notes

The average precision (cf. average_precision) in scikit-learn is computed without any interpolation. To be consistent with this metric, the precision-recall curve is plotted without any interpolation as well (step-wise style).

You can change this style by passing the keyword argument drawstyle="default". However, the curve will not be strictly consistent with the reported average precision.
