MLcps 0.0.4

Calculate a Machine Learning (ML) performance metric called MLcps: ML Cumulative Performance Score.

MLcps

MLcps: Machine Learning cumulative performance score is a performance metric that combines multiple performance metrics and reports a cumulative score enabling researchers to compare the ML models using a single metric. MLcps provides a comprehensive platform to identify the best-performing ML model on any given dataset.

Requirements

Note: If you want to use MLcps without installing it on your local machine, please follow Binder environment for MLcps section.

1. Python >=3.8
2. R >=4.0. R should be accessible through terminal/command prompt.
3. radarchart, tibble, and dplyr R packages. MLcps can install all these packages at first import if unavailable, but we highly recommend installing them before using MLcps. The user could run the following R code in the R environment to install them:

## Install the unavailable packages
install.packages(c('radarchart','tibble','dplyr'),dependencies = TRUE,repos="https://cloud.r-project.org")                         

Installation

pip install MLcps

Binder environment for MLcps

As an alternative, we have built a binder computational environment where all the requirements are pre-installed for MLcps. It allows the user to use MLcps without any installation.

To launch the example Jupyter notebook in the binder environment, please click here . It may take a while to launch!

Usage

Quick Start

#import MLcps
from MLcps import getCPS

#calculate Machine Learning cumulative performance score
cps=getCPS.calculate(object)

• object: A pandas dataframe where rows are different metrics scores and columns are different ML models. Or a GridSearchCV object.
• cps: A pandas dataframe with models name and corresponding MLcps. Or a GridSearchCV object.

Example 1

Calculate MLcps for a pandas dataframe where rows are different metrics scores and columns are different ML models.

#import MLcps
from MLcps import getCPS

#read input data (a dataframe) or load an example data
metrics=getCPS.sample_metrics()

#calculate Machine Learning cumulative performance score
cpsScore=getCPS.calculate(metrics)

#########################################################
#plot MLcps
import plotly.express as px
from plotly.offline import plot

fig = px.bar(cpsScore, x='Score', y='Algorithms',color='Score',labels={'MLcps Score'},
             width=700,height=1000,text_auto=True)

fig.update_xaxes(title_text="MLcps")
plot(fig)

Example 2

Calculate MLcps using the mean test score of all the metrics available in the given GridSearch object and return an updated GridSearch object. Returned GridSearch object contains mean_test_MLcps and rank_test_MLcps arrays, which can be used to rank the models similar to any other metric.

#import MLcps
from MLcps import getCPS

#load GridSearch object or load it from package
gsObj=getCPS.sample_GridSearch_Object()

#calculate Machine Learning cumulative performance score
gsObj_updated=getCPS.calculate(gsObj)

#########################################################
#access MLcps
gsObj_updated.cv_results_["mean_test_MLcps"]

#access rank array based on MLcps
gsObj_updated.cv_results_["rank_test_MLcps"]

Example 3

Certain metrics are more significant than others in some cases. As an example, if the dataset is imbalanced, a high F1 score might be preferred to higher accuracy. A user can provide weights for metrics of interest while calculating MLcps in such a scenario. Weights should be a dictionary object where keys are metric names and values are corresponding weights. It can be passed as a parameter in getCPS.calculate() function.

• 3.a)

#import MLcps
from MLcps import getCPS

#read input data (a dataframe) or load an example data
metrics=getCPS.sample_metrics()

#define weights
weights={"Accuracy":0.75,"F1": 1.25}

#calculate Machine Learning cumulative performance score
cpsScore=getCPS.calculate(metrics,weights)

• 3.b)

#import MLcps
from MLcps import getCPS

#########################################################
#load GridSearch object or load it from package
gsObj=getCPS.sample_GridSearch_Object()

#define weights
weights={"accuracy":0.75,"f1": 1.25}

#calculate Machine Learning cumulative performance score
gsObj_updated=getCPS.calculate(gsObj,weights)
