ElasticEnsemble

class ElasticEnsemble(distance_measures='all', proportion_of_param_options=1.0, proportion_train_in_param_finding=1.0, proportion_train_for_test=1.0, n_jobs=1, random_state=0, verbose=0, majority_vote=False)[source]

The Elastic Ensemble (EE).

EE as described in [1].

Overview:

  • Input n series length m

  • EE is an ensemble of elastic nearest neighbor classifiers

Parameters:
distance_measureslist of strings, optional (default=”all”)

A list of strings identifying which distance measures to include. Valid values are one or more of: euclidean, dtw, wdtw, ddtw, dwdtw, lcss, erp, msm

proportion_of_param_optionsfloat, optional (default=1)

The proportion of the parameter grid space to search optional.

proportion_train_in_param_findingfloat, optional (default=1)

The proportion of the train set to use in the parameter search optional.

proportion_train_for_testfloat, optional (default=1)

The proportion of the train set to use in classifying new cases optional.

n_jobsint, optional (default=1)

The number of jobs to run in parallel for both fit and predict. -1 means using all processors.

random_stateint, default=0

The random seed.

verboseint, default=0

If >0, then prints out debug information.

Attributes:
estimators_list

A list storing all classifiers

train_accs_by_classifierndarray

Store the train accuracies of the classifiers
