TSCGridSearchCV

Exhaustive search over specified parameter values for an estimator.

Quickstart

from sktime.classification.model_selection import TSCGridSearchCV

estimator = TSCGridSearchCV(estimator, param_grid, scoring=None, n_jobs=None, refit=True, cv=None, verbose=0, pre_dispatch='2*n_jobs', error_score=nan, return_train_score=False, tune_by_variable=False)

Parameters(11)

estimatorsktime classifier, BaseClassifier instance or interface compatible

The classifier to tune, must implement the sktime classifier interface.

param_griddict or list of dictionaries

Dictionary with parameters names (str) as keys and lists of parameter settings to try as values, or a list of such dictionaries, in which case the grids spanned by each dictionary in the list are explored. This enables searching over any sequence of parameter settings.

scoringstr, callable, list, tuple or dict, default=None

Strategy to evaluate the performance of the cross-validated model on the test set.

If scoring represents a single score, one can use:

• a single string (see The scoring parameter: defining model evaluation rules);

• a callable (see scoring) that returns a single value.

If scoring represents multiple scores, one can use:

• a list or tuple of unique strings;

• a callable returning a dictionary where the keys are the metric names and the values are the metric scores;

• a dictionary with metric names as keys and callables a values.

n_jobsint, default=None

Number of jobs to run in parallel. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.

refitbool, str, or callable, default=True

Refit an estimator using the best found parameters on the whole dataset. If False, the predict and predict_proba will not work.

For multiple metric evaluation, this needs to be a str denoting the scorer that would be used to find the best parameters for refitting the estimator at the end.

Where there are considerations other than maximum score in choosing a best estimator, refit can be set to a function which returns the selected best_index_ given cv_results_. In that case, the best_estimator_ and best_params_ will be set according to the returned best_index_ while the best_score_ attribute will not be available.

The refitted estimator is made available at the best_estimator_ attribute and permits using predict directly on this GridSearchCV instance.

Also for multiple metric evaluation, the attributes best_index_, best_score_ and best_params_ will only be available if refit is set and all of them will be determined w.r.t this specific scorer.

See scoring parameter to know more about multiple metric evaluation.

cvint, cross-validation generator or an iterable, default=None

Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:

• None, to use the default 5-fold cross validation,

• integer, to specify the number of folds in a (Stratified)KFold,

• CV splitter,

• An iterable yielding (train, test) splits as arrays of indices.

For integer/None inputs, if the estimator is a classifier and y is either binary or multiclass, StratifiedKFold is used. In all other cases, KFold is used. These splitters are instantiated with shuffle=False so the splits will be the same across calls.

Refer User Guide for the various cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

verboseint

Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages.

• >1: the computation time for each fold and parameter candidate is displayed;

• >2: the score is also displayed;

• >3: the fold and candidate parameter indexes are also displayed together with the starting time of the computation.

pre_dispatchint, or str, default=’2*n_jobs’

Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:

• None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs

• An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned

• A str, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’

error_score‘raise’ or numeric, default=np.nan

Value to assign to the score if an error occurs in estimator fitting. If set to ‘raise’, the error is raised. If a numeric value is given, FitFailedWarning is raised. This parameter does not affect the refit step, which will always raise the error.

return_train_scorebool, default=False

If False, the cv_results_ attribute will not include training scores. Computing training scores is used to get insights on how different parameter settings impact the overfitting/underfitting trade-off. However computing the scores on the training set can be computationally expensive and is not strictly required to select the parameters that yield the best generalization performance.

tune_by_variablebool, optional (default=False)

Whether to tune parameter by each time series variable separately, in case of multivariate data passed to the tuning estimator. Only applies if time series passed are strictly multivariate. If True, clones of the estimator will be fit to each variable separately, and are available in fields of the classifiers_ attribute. Has the same effect as applying ColumnEnsembleClassifier wrapper to self. If False, the same best parameter is selected for all variables.
