sklearn.grid_search.GridSearchCV

class sklearn.grid_search.GridSearchCV(estimator, param_grid, scoring=None, fit_params=None, n_jobs=1, iid=True, refit=True, cv=None, verbose=0, pre_dispatch='2*n_jobs', error_score='raise')

Exhaustive search over specified parameter values for an estimator.

Important members are fit, predict.

GridSearchCV implements a “fit” and a “score” method. It also implements “predict”, “predict_proba”, “decision_function”, “transform” and “inverse_transform” if they are implemented in the estimator used.

The parameters of the estimator used to apply these methods are optimized by cross-validated grid-search over a parameter grid.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

estimator : estimator object.

A object of that type is instantiated for each grid point. This is assumed to implement the scikit-learn estimator interface. Either estimator needs to provide a score function, or scoring must be passed.

param_grid : dict or list of dictionaries

Dictionary with parameters names (string) as keys and lists of parameter settings to try as values, or a list of such dictionaries, in which case the grids spanned by each dictionary in the list are explored. This enables searching over any sequence of parameter settings.

scoring : string, callable or None, default=None

A string (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y). If None, the score method of the estimator is used.

fit_params : dict, optional

Parameters to pass to the fit method.

n_jobs : int, default=1

Number of jobs to run in parallel.

在 0.17 版更改: Upgraded to joblib 0.9.3.

pre_dispatch : int, or string, optional

Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:

• None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs
• An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned
• A string, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’

iid : boolean, default=True

If True, the data is assumed to be identically distributed across the folds, and the loss minimized is the total loss per sample, and not the mean loss across the folds.

cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional

Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:

• None, to use the default 3-fold cross-validation,
• integer, to specify the number of folds.
• An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.
• An iterable yielding train/test splits.

For integer/None inputs, if y is binary or multiclass, StratifiedKFold used. If the estimator is a classifier or if y is neither binary nor multiclass, KFold is used.

Refer User Guide for the various cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

refit : boolean, default=True

Refit the best estimator with the entire dataset. If “False”, it is impossible to make predictions using this GridSearchCV instance after fitting.

verbose : integer

Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages.

error_score : ‘raise’ (default) or numeric

Value to assign to the score if an error occurs in estimator fitting. If set to ‘raise’, the error is raised. If a numeric value is given, FitFailedWarning is raised. This parameter does not affect the refit step, which will always raise the error.

Attributes:

grid_scores_ : list of named tuples

Contains scores for all parameter combinations in param_grid. Each entry corresponds to one parameter setting. Each named tuple has the attributes:

• parameters, a dict of parameter settings
• mean_validation_score, the mean score over the cross-validation folds
• cv_validation_scores, the list of scores for each fold

best_estimator_ : estimator

Estimator that was chosen by the search, i.e. estimator which gave highest score (or smallest loss if specified) on the left out data. Not available if refit=False.

best_score_ : float

Score of best_estimator on the left out data.

best_params_ : dict

Parameter setting that gave the best results on the hold out data.

scorer_ : function

Scorer function used on the held out data to choose the best parameters for the model.

参见

ParameterGrid

generates all the combinations of a an hyperparameter grid.

sklearn.cross_validation.train_test_split

utility function to split the data into a development set usable for fitting a GridSearchCV instance and an evaluation set for its final evaluation.

sklearn.metrics.make_scorer

Make a scorer from a performance metric or loss function.

Notes

The parameters selected are those that maximize the score of the left out data, unless an explicit score is passed in which case it is used instead.

If n_jobs was set to a value higher than one, the data is copied for each point in the grid (and not n_jobs times). This is done for efficiency reasons if individual jobs take very little time, but may raise errors if the dataset is large and not enough memory is available. A workaround in this case is to set pre_dispatch. Then, the memory is copied only pre_dispatch many times. A reasonable value for pre_dispatch is 2 * n_jobs.
