class TEASER(estimator=None, one_class_classifier=None, one_class_param_grid=None, classification_points=None, n_jobs=1, random_state=None)[source]

Two-tier Early and Accurate Series Classifier (TEASER).

An early classifier which uses one class SVM’s trained on prediction probabilities to determine whether an early prediction is safe or not.

Overview:

Build n classifiers, where n is the number of classification_points. For each classifier, train a one class svm used to determine prediction safety at that series length. Tune the number of consecutive safe svm predictions required to consider the prediction safe.

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:
estimator: sktime classifier, default=None

An sktime estimator to be built at each of the classification_points time stamps. Defaults to a WEASEL classifier.

one_class_classifier: one-class sklearn classifier, default=None

An sklearn one-class classifier used to determine whether an early decision is safe. Defaults to a tuned one-class SVM classifier.

one_class_param_grid: dict or list of dict, default=None

The hyper-parameters for the one-class classifier to learn using grid-search. Dictionary with parameters names (str) as keys and lists of parameter settings to try as values, or a list of such dictionaries.

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.

n_instances_int

The number of train cases.

n_dims_int

The number of dimensions per case.

series_length_int

The full length of each series.

classes_list

The unique class labels.

state_info2d np.ndarray (4 columns)

Information stored about input instances after the decision-making process in update/predict methods. Used in update methods to make decisions based on the results of previous method calls. Records in order: the time stamp index, the number of consecutive decisions made, the predicted class and the series length.
