sklearn.ensemble.RandomTreesEmbedding

class sklearn.ensemble.RandomTreesEmbedding(n_estimators=10, max_depth=5, min_samples_split=2, min_samples_leaf=1, n_jobs=1, random_state=None, verbose=0, min_density=None)

An ensemble of totally random trees.

An unsupervised transformation of a dataset to a high-dimensional sparse representation. A datapoint is coded according to which leaf of each tree it is sorted into. Using a one-hot encoding of the leaves, this leads to a binary coding with as many ones as trees in the forest.

The dimensionality of the resulting representation is approximately n_estimators * 2 ** max_depth.

Parameters :

n_estimators : int

Number of trees in the forest.

max_depth : int

Maximum depth of each tree.

min_samples_split : integer, optional (default=2)

The minimum number of samples required to split an internal node. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

min_samples_leaf : integer, optional (default=1)

The minimum number of samples in newly created leaves. A split is discarded if after the split, one of the leaves would contain less then min_samples_leaf samples. Note: this parameter is tree-specific.

n_jobs : integer, optional (default=1)

The number of jobs to run in parallel for both fit and predict. If -1, then the number of jobs is set to the number of cores.

random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)

If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.

verbose : int, optional (default=0)

Controls the verbosity of the tree building process.

__init__(n_estimators=10, max_depth=5, min_samples_split=2, min_samples_leaf=1, n_jobs=1, random_state=None, verbose=0, min_density=None)

apply(X)

Apply trees in the forest to X, return leaf indices.

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]

Input data.

Returns :

X_leaves : array_like, shape = [n_samples, n_estimators]

For each datapoint x in X and for each tree in the forest, return the index of the leaf x ends up in.

feature_importances_

Return the feature importances (the higher, the more important the

feature).

Returns :feature_importances_ : array, shape = [n_features]

fit(X, y=None)

Fit estimator.

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape=(n_samples, n_features)

Input data used to build forests.

fit_transform(X, y=None)

Fit estimator and transform dataset.

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape=(n_samples, n_features)

Input data used to build forests.

Returns :

X_transformed: sparse matrix, shape=(n_samples, n_out) :

Transformed dataset.

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters :

deep: boolean, optional :

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

Returns :

params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

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

Returns :self :

transform(X)

Transform dataset.

Parameters :

X : array-like, shape=(n_samples, n_features)

Input data to be transformed.

Returns :

X_transformed: sparse matrix, shape=(n_samples, n_out) :

Transformed dataset.
