ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier

ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier

class ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier(probability_threshold=0.85, consecutive_predictions=1, estimator=None, classification_points=None, n_jobs=1, random_state=None)[source]

Probability Threshold Early Classifier.

An early classifier which uses a threshold of prediction probability to determine whether an early prediction is safe or not.

Overview:

Build n classifiers, where n is the number of classification_points. While a prediction is still deemed unsafe:

Make a prediction using the series length at classification point i. Decide whether the predcition is safe or not using decide_prediction_safety.

Parameters:
probability_thresholdfloat, default=0.85

The class prediction probability required to deem a prediction as safe.

consecutive_predictionsint, default=1

The number of consecutive predictions for a class above the threshold required to deem a prediction as safe.

estimator: sktime classifier, default=None

An sktime estimator to be built using the transformed data. Defaults to a CanonicalIntervalForest.

classification_pointsList or None, default=None

List of integer time series time stamps to build classifiers and allow predictions at. Early predictions must have a series length that matches a value in the _classification_points List. Duplicate values will be removed, and the full series length will be appended if not present. If None, will use 20 thresholds linearly spaces from 0 to the series length.

n_jobsint, default=1

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

random_stateint or None, default=None

Seed for random number generation.

Attributes:
n_classes_int

The number of classes.

classes_list

The unique class labels.

Examples

>>> from sktime.classification.early_classification import (
...     ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier
... )
>>> from sktime.classification.interval_based import TimeSeriesForestClassifier
>>> from sktime.datasets import load_unit_test
>>> X_train, y_train = load_unit_test(split="train", return_X_y=True)
>>> X_test, y_test = load_unit_test(split="test", return_X_y=True)
>>> clf = ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier(
...     classification_points=[6, 16, 24],
...     estimator=TimeSeriesForestClassifier(n_estimators=10)
... )
>>> clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier(...)
>>> y_pred = clf.predict(X_test)
