CanonicalIntervalForest

CanonicalIntervalForest

class CanonicalIntervalForest(n_estimators=200, n_intervals=None, att_subsample_size=8, min_interval=3, max_interval=None, base_estimator='CIT', n_jobs=1, random_state=None)[source]

Canonical Interval Forest Classifier (CIF).

Implementation of the interval based forest making use of the catch22 feature set on randomly selected intervals described in Middlehurst et al. (2020). [1]

Overview: Input “n” series with “d” dimensions of length “m”. For each tree:

  • Sample n_intervals intervals of random position and length

  • Subsample att_subsample_size catch22 or summary statistic attributes randomly

  • Randomly select dimension for each interval

  • Calculate attributes for each interval, concatenate to form new data set

  • Build decision tree on new data set

ensemble the trees with averaged probability estimates

Parameters:
n_estimatorsint, default=200

Number of estimators to build for the ensemble.

n_intervalsint or None, default=None

Number of intervals to extract per tree, if None extracts (sqrt(series_length) * sqrt(n_dims)) intervals.

att_subsample_sizeint, default=8

Number of catch22 or summary statistic attributes to subsample per tree.

min_intervalint, default=3

Minimum length of an interval.

max_intervalint or None, default=None

Maximum length of an interval, if None set to (series_length / 2).

base_estimatorsklearn classifier or str, default=”CIT”.

Base estimator for the ensemble, can be supplied a sklearn BaseEstimator or a string for predefined classifiers. Possible strings:

  • "CIT", uses the sktime ContinuousIntervalTree, an implementation of the original tree used with embedded attribute processing for faster predictions.

  • "DTC" uses the sklearn DecisionTreeClassifier(criterion="entropy").

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 length of each series.

classes_list

The classes labels.

estimators_list of shape (n_estimators) of BaseEstimator

The collections of estimators trained in fit.

intervals_list of shape (n_estimators) of ndarray with shape (n_intervals,2)

Stores indexes of each intervals start and end points for all classifiers.

atts_list of shape (n_estimators) of array with shape (att_subsample_size)

Attribute indexes of the subsampled catch22 or summary statistic for all classifiers.

dims_list of shape (n_estimators) of array with shape (n_intervals)

The dimension to extract attributes from each interval for all classifiers.
