MultiOutputClassifier
- classsklearn.multioutput.MultiOutputClassifier(estimator, *, n_jobs=None)[source]
-
Multi target classification.
This strategy consists of fitting one classifier per target. This is a simple strategy for extending classifiers that do not natively support multi-target classification.
- Parameters:
-
- estimatorestimator object
-
An estimator object implementing fit and predict. A predict_proba method will be exposed only if
estimatorimplements it. - n_jobsint or None, optional (default=None)
-
The number of jobs to run in parallel.
fit,predictandpartial_fit(if supported by the passed estimator) will be parallelized for each target.When individual estimators are fast to train or predict, using
n_jobs > 1can result in slower performance due to the parallelism overhead.Nonemeans1unless in ajoblib.parallel_backendcontext.-1means using all available processes / threads. See Glossary for more details.Changed in version 0.20:
n_jobsdefault changed from1toNone.
- Attributes:
-
- classes_ndarray of shape (n_classes,)
-
Class labels.
-
estimators_list of
n_outputestimators -
Estimators used for predictions.
- n_features_in_int
-
Number of features seen during fit. Only defined if the underlying
estimatorexposes such an attribute when fit.Added in version 0.24.
-
feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (
n_features_in_,) -
Names of features seen during fit. Only defined if the underlying estimators expose such an attribute when fit.
Added in version 1.0.

Examples
>>> import numpy as np >>> from sklearn.datasets import make_multilabel_classification >>> from sklearn.multioutput import MultiOutputClassifier >>> from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression >>> X, y = make_multilabel_classification(n_classes=3, random_state=0) >>> clf = MultiOutputClassifier(LogisticRegression()).fit(X, y) >>> clf.predict(X[-2:]) array([[1, 1, 1], [1, 0, 1]])- fit(X, Y, sample_weight=None, **fit_params)[source]
-
Fit the model to data matrix X and targets Y.
- Parameters:
-
- X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)
-
The input data.
- Yarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_classes)
-
The target values.
- sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None
-
Sample weights. If
None, then samples are equally weighted. Only supported if the underlying classifier supports sample weights. - **fit_paramsdict of string -> object
-
Parameters passed to the
estimator.fitmethod of each step.Added in version 0.23.
- Returns:
-
- selfobject
-
Returns a fitted instance.
- get_metadata_routing()[source]
-
Get metadata routing of this object.
Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.
Added in version 1.3.
- Returns:
-
- routingMetadataRouter
-
A
MetadataRouterencapsulating routing information.
- get_params(deep=True)[source]
-
Get parameters for this estimator.
- Parameters:
-
- deepbool, default=True
-
If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
- Returns:
-
- paramsdict
-
Parameter names mapped to their values.
- partial_fit(X, y, classes=None, sample_weight=None, **partial_fit_params)[source]
-
Incrementally fit a separate model for each class output.
- Parameters:
-
- X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)
-
The input data.
- y{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_outputs)
-
Multi-output targets.
- classeslist of ndarray of shape (n_outputs,), default=None
-
Each array is unique classes for one output in str/int. Can be obtained via
[np.unique(y[:, i]) for i in range(y.shape[1])], whereyis the target matrix of the entire dataset. This argument is required for the first call to partial_fit and can be omitted in the subsequent calls. Note thatydoesn’t need to contain all labels inclasses. - sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None
-
Sample weights. If
None, then samples are equally weighted. Only supported if the underlying regressor supports sample weights. - **partial_fit_paramsdict of str -> object
-
Parameters passed to the
estimator.partial_fitmethod of each sub-estimator.Only available if
enable_metadata_routing=True. See the User Guide.Added in version 1.3.

-
- selfobject
-
Returns a fitted instance.

-
Predict multi-output variable using model for each target variable.
- Parameters:
-
- X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features)
-
The input data.
- Returns:
-
- y{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_outputs)
-
Multi-output targets predicted across multiple predictors. Note: Separate models are generated for each predictor.

n_outputs, and each array is (n_samples,n_classes) for that particular output.

- set_fit_request(*, sample_weight:bool|None|str='$UNCHANGED$') MultiOutputClassifier[source]
-
Configure whether metadata should be requested to be passed to the
fitmethod.Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with
enable_metadata_routing=True(seesklearn.set_config). Please check the User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.The options for each parameter are:
-
True: metadata is requested, and passed tofitif provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided. -
False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it tofit. -
None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it. -
str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.
The default (
sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.Added in version 1.3.
- Parameters:
-
- sample_weightstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED
-
Metadata routing for

-

-
- set_params(**params)[source]

-
Estimator parameters.
- Returns:
-
- selfestimator instance
-
Estimator instance.
