OneVsOneClassifier#

class sklearn.multiclass.OneVsOneClassifier(estimator, *, n_jobs=None)[source]#

One-vs-one multiclass strategy.

This strategy consists in fitting one classifier per class pair. At prediction time, the class which received the most votes is selected. Since it requires to fit n_classes * (n_classes - 1) / 2 classifiers, this method is usually slower than one-vs-the-rest, due to its O(n_classes^2) complexity. However, this method may be advantageous for algorithms such as kernel algorithms which don’t scale well with n_samples. This is because each individual learning problem only involves a small subset of the data whereas, with one-vs-the-rest, the complete dataset is used n_classes times.

Parameters:
estimatorestimator object

A regressor or a classifier that implements fit. When a classifier is passed, decision_function will be used in priority and it will fallback to predict_proba if it is not available. When a regressor is passed, predict is used.

n_jobsint, default=None

The number of jobs to use for the computation: the n_classes * ( n_classes - 1) / 2 OVO problems are computed in parallel.

None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.

Attributes:

classes_numpy array of shape [n_classes]

Array containing labels.

n_classes_int

Number of classes.

pairwise_indices_list, length = len(estimators_), or None

Indices of samples used when training the estimators. None when estimator’s pairwise tag is False.

n_features_in_int

Number of features seen during fit.

Added in version 0.24.

feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (n_features_in_,)

Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X has feature names that are all strings.

decision_function(X)[source]#

Decision function for the OneVsOneClassifier.

The decision values for the samples are computed by adding the normalized sum of pair-wise classification confidence levels to the votes in order to disambiguate between the decision values when the votes for all the classes are equal leading to a tie.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Input data.

Returns:
Yarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_classes) or (n_samples,)

Result of calling decision_function on the final estimator.

Changed in version 0.19: output shape changed to (n_samples,) to conform to scikit-learn conventions for binary classification.

fit(X, y, **fit_params)[source]#

Fit underlying estimators.

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

Data.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)

Multi-class targets.

**fit_paramsdict

Parameters passed to the estimator.fit method of each sub-estimator.

Added in version 1.4: Only available if enable_metadata_routing=True. See Metadata Routing User Guide for more details.

Returns:
selfobject

The fitted underlying estimator.

get_metadata_routing()[source]#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Added in version 1.4.

Returns:
routingMetadataRouter

A MetadataRouter encapsulating routing information.

get_params(deep=True)[source]#

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:
deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:
paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

partial_fit(X, y, classes=None, **partial_fit_params)[source]#

Partially fit underlying estimators.

Should be used when memory is inefficient to train all data. Chunks of data can be passed in several iteration, where the first call should have an array of all target variables.

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

Data.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)

Multi-class targets.

classesarray, shape (n_classes, )

Classes across all calls to partial_fit. Can be obtained via np.unique(y_all), where y_all is the target vector of the entire dataset. This argument is only required in the first call of partial_fit and can be omitted in the subsequent calls.

**partial_fit_paramsdict

Parameters passed to the estimator.partial_fit method of each sub-estimator.

Added in version 1.4: Only available if enable_metadata_routing=True. See Metadata Routing User Guide for more details.

Returns:
selfobject

The partially fitted underlying estimator.

predict(X)[source]#

Estimate the best class label for each sample in X.

This is implemented as argmax(decision_function(X), axis=1) which will return the label of the class with most votes by estimators predicting the outcome of a decision for each possible class pair.

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

Data.

Returns:
ynumpy array of shape [n_samples]

Predicted multi-class targets.

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

Return accuracy on provided data and labels.

In multi-label classification, this is the subset accuracy which is a harsh metric since you require for each sample that each label set be correctly predicted.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

Test samples.

yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs)

True labels for X.

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

Sample weights.

Returns:
scorefloat

Mean accuracy of self.predict(X) w.r.t. y.

set_params(**params)[source]#

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters:
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_partial_fit_request(*, classes: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → OneVsOneClassifier[source]#

Configure whether metadata should be requested to be passed to the partial_fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please check the User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

  • True: metadata is requested, and passed to partial_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 partial_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.

Added in version 1.3.

Parameters:
classesstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for classes parameter in partial_fit.

Returns:
selfobject

The updated object.

set_score_request(*, sample_weight: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → OneVsOneClassifier[source]#

Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config). Please check the 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.

Added in version 1.3.

Parameters:
sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in score.

Returns:
selfobject

The updated object.
