ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier

class ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier(*args, **kwargs)

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 appeneded 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)

Deprecated since version 0.13.0: The base class of ProbabilityThresholdEarlyClassifier will be changed to BaseEarlyClassifier in v0.16.0. This will change how classification safety decisions are made and returned, see BaseEarlyClassifier or TEASER for the new interface.

Class and object methods, and class attributes are also unaffected.

Returns

save(path=None)

Save serialized self to bytes-like object or to (.zip) file.

Behaviour: if path is None, returns an in-memory serialized self if path is a file location, stores self at that location as a zip file

saved files are zip files with following contents: _metadata - contains class of self, i.e., type(self) _obj - serialized self. This class uses the default serialization (pickle).

Parameters

pathNone or file location (str or Path)

if None, self is saved to an in-memory object if file location, self is saved to that file location. If:

path=”estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be made at cwd. path=”/home/stored/estimator” then a zip file estimator.zip will be stored in /home/stored/.

Returns

if path is None - in-memory serialized self

if path is file location - ZipFile with reference to the file
