ContractableBOSS

Contractable Bag of Symbolic Fourier Approximation Symbols (cBOSS).

Quickstart

from sktime.classification.dictionary_based import ContractableBOSS

estimator = ContractableBOSS(n_parameter_samples=250, max_ensemble_size=50, max_win_len_prop=1, min_window=10, time_limit_in_minutes=0.0, contract_max_n_parameter_samples=inf, save_train_predictions=False, feature_selection='none', n_jobs=1, random_state=None)

Parameters(10)

n_parameter_samplesint, default = 250

If search is randomised, number of parameter combos to try.

max_ensemble_sizeint or None, default = 50

Maximum number of classifiers to retain. Will limit number of retained classifiers even if more than max_ensemble_size are within threshold.

max_win_len_propint or float, default = 1

Maximum window length as a proportion of the series length.

min_windowint, default = 10

Minimum window size.

time_limit_in_minutesint, default = 0

Time contract to limit build time in minutes. Default of 0 means no limit.

contract_max_n_parameter_samplesint, default=np.inf

Max number of parameter combinations to consider when time_limit_in_minutes is set.

save_train_predictionsbool, default=False

Save the ensemble member train predictions in fit for use in _get_train_probs leave-one-out cross-validation.

n_jobsint, default = 1

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

feature_selection: {“chi2”, “none”, “random”}, default: none

Sets the feature selections strategy to be used. Chi2 reduces the number of words significantly and is thus much faster (preferred). Random also reduces the number significantly. None applies not feature selectiona and yields large bag of words, e.g. much memory may be needed.

random_stateint or None, default=None

Seed for random integer.

Examples

>>> from sktime.classification.dictionary_based import ContractableBOSS
>>> 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 = ContractableBOSS (
... n_parameter_samples = 10, max_ensemble_size = 3
... )
>>> clf. fit (X_train, y_train) ContractableBOSS(
... )
>>> y_pred = clf. predict (X_test)
