imbalanced-spdf 0.0.18

A Python package for imbalanced learning with ensemble learning.

A rich documentation is available at Read the Docs

Shape Penalized Decision Forests

Shape Penalized Decision Forests, for training ensemble classifiers tailored for imbalanced datasets. This package provides two primary implementations:

• SPBoDF (Shape Penalized Boosting Decision Forest): A boosting ensemble method that builds multiple trees sequentially, adjusting the weights of samples to focus on harder-to-classify instances.

• SPBaDF (Shape Penalized Bagging Decision Forest): A bagging ensemble method that builds multiple trees independently on bootstrap samples of the dataset, improving robustness and reducing overfitting.

Both implementations use the concept of Surface-to-Volume Regularization (SVR) to penalize irregular decision boundaries, thus improving generalization and addressing challenges associated with imbalanced datasets.

Key Features

• Boosting and Bagging: Two ensemble approaches tailored for classification tasks.
• Shape Penalization: Incorporates a novel regularization technique to control decision boundary complexity.
• Imbalanced Data Handling: Designed with class imbalance in mind, using weighting and bootstrapping techniques.
• Scikit-learn Compatible: Implements BaseEstimator and ClassifierMixin, making it seamlessly integrable with the Scikit-learn ecosystem.
• Customizability: Hyperparameters such as the number of trees, shape penalty, and maximal leaves are configurable for fine-tuning.

Usage

1. SPBoDF (Boosting)

Example

import numpy as np
from imbalanced_spdf.ensemble import SPBoDF

# Generate synthetic data
X_train = np.random.rand(100, 5)
y_train = np.random.randint(0, 2, 100)

# Initialize and fit SPBoDF
boosting_model = SPBoDF(n_trees=50, weight=2, pen=1.0, random_state=42)
boosting_model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict
X_test = np.random.rand(20, 5)
y_pred = boosting_model.predict(X_test)
print("Predictions:", y_pred)

2. SPBaDF (Bagging)

Example

from imbalanced_spdf.ensemble import SPBaDF

# Generate synthetic data
X_train = np.random.rand(100, 5)
y_train = np.random.randint(0, 2, 100)

# Initialize and fit SPBaDF
bagging_model = SPBaDF(n_trees=50, weight=2, pen=1.0, random_state=42)
bagging_model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict
X_test = np.random.rand(20, 5)
y_pred = bagging_model.predict(X_test)
print("Predictions:", y_pred)

API Reference

SPBoDF

A boosting ensemble classifier that uses SVR-regularized trees to handle imbalanced datasets.

Parameters:

• n_trees (int): Number of trees in the ensemble (default: 40).
• weight (float): Weight for the minority class to address imbalance (default: 1).
• pen (float): Regularization penalty controlling decision boundary complexity (default: 0).
• maximal_leaves (int or float, optional): Maximum leaves per tree. Defaults to 2 * sqrt(n_samples) * 0.3333.
• random_state (int): Random seed for reproducibility (default: 23).

Methods:

• fit(X, y): Fits the ensemble on the training data.
• predict(X): Predicts the labels of the test data.

SPBaDF

A bagging ensemble classifier that uses SVR-regularized trees to improve robustness.

Parameters:

• n_trees (int): Number of trees in the ensemble (default: 40).
• weight (float): Weight for the minority class to address imbalance (default: 1).
• pen (float): Regularization penalty controlling decision boundary complexity (default: 0).
• maximal_leaves (int or float, optional): Maximum leaves per tree. Defaults to 2 * sqrt(n_samples) * 0.3333.
• random_state (int): Random seed for reproducibility (default: 23).

Methods:

• fit(X, y): Fits the ensemble on the training data.
• predict(X): Predicts the labels of the test data.

How It Works

1. SPBoDF (Boosting):

   • Trees are built sequentially, with sample weights updated after each iteration to focus on misclassified samples.
   • Regularization (SVR) penalizes irregular decision boundaries to avoid overfitting.

2. SPBaDF (Bagging):

   • Trees are built independently on bootstrap samples of the training data.
   • Each tree focuses on non-constant feature subsets, improving robustness and generalization.
