bask.BayesSearchCV

class bask.BayesSearchCV(estimator, search_spaces, optimizer_kwargs=None, n_iter=50, return_policy='best_setting', scoring=None, fit_params=None, n_jobs=1, n_points=1, iid=True, refit=True, cv=None, verbose=0, pre_dispatch='2*n_jobs', random_state=None, error_score='raise', return_train_score=False)[source]

Fully Bayesian optimization over hyper parameters.

Wraps skopt.BayesSearchCV with a fully Bayesian estimation of the kernel hyperparameters, making it robust to very noisy target functions.

BayesSearchCV implements a “fit” and a “score” method. It also implements “predict”, “predict_proba”, “decision_function”, “transform” and “inverse_transform” if they are implemented in the estimator used. The parameters of the estimator used to apply these methods are optimized by cross-validated search over parameter settings. In contrast to GridSearchCV, not all parameter values are tried out, but rather a fixed number of parameter settings is sampled from the specified distributions. The number of parameter settings that are tried is given by n_iter. Parameters are presented as a list of skopt.space.Dimension objects. Parameters ———- estimator : estimator object.

A object of that type is instantiated for each search point. This object is assumed to implement the scikit-learn estimator api. Either estimator needs to provide a score function, or scoring must be passed.

search_spacesdict, list of dict or list of tuple containing

(dict, int). One of these cases: 1. dictionary, where keys are parameter names (strings) and values are skopt.space.Dimension instances (Real, Integer or Categorical) or any other valid value that defines skopt dimension (see skopt.Optimizer docs). Represents search space over parameters of the provided estimator. 2. list of dictionaries: a list of dictionaries, where every dictionary fits the description given in case 1 above. If a list of dictionary objects is given, then the search is performed sequentially for every parameter space with maximum number of evaluations set to self.n_iter. 3. list of (dict, int > 0): an extension of case 2 above, where first element of every tuple is a dictionary representing some search subspace, similarly as in case 2, and second element is a number of iterations that will be spent optimizing over this subspace.

n_iterint, default=50

Number of parameter settings that are sampled. n_iter trades off runtime vs quality of the solution. Consider increasing n_points if you want to try more parameter settings in parallel.

return_policystring, default=’best_setting’

A string specifying which point should be considered the optimum at the end of the optimization. Should be one of

  • ‘best_mean’: return the point maximizing the mean function of the Gaussian process. This is usually the best choice when the target function is noisy and a single observation might not be representative. Note, if the number of iterations n_iter is low, the expected optimum can be still be uncertain. Only use this setting when you only have one search space.

  • ‘best_setting’: return the best setting tried so far. This is useful, if the target function is (almost) noise-free.

optimizer_kwargsdict, optional

Dict of arguments passed to Optimizer.

scoringstring, callable or None, default=None

A string (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y). If None, the score method of the estimator is used.

fit_paramsdict, optional

Parameters to pass to the fit method.

n_jobsint, default=1

Number of jobs to run in parallel. At maximum there are n_points times cv jobs available during each iteration.

n_pointsint, default=1

This is not implemented yet. Consider using the original skopt.BayesSearchCV for now. Number of parameter settings to sample in parallel. If this does not align with n_iter, the last iteration will sample less points. See also ask()

pre_dispatchint, or string, optional

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 string, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’

iidboolean, default=True

If True, the data is assumed to be identically distributed across the folds, and the loss minimized is the total loss per sample, and not the mean loss across the folds.

cvint, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional

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

  • None, to use the default 3-fold cross validation,

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

  • An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.

  • An iterable yielding train, test splits.

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.

refitboolean, default=True

Refit the best estimator with the entire dataset. If “False”, it is impossible to make predictions using this RandomizedSearchCV instance after fitting.

verboseinteger

Controls the verbosity: the higher, the more messages.

random_stateint or RandomState

Pseudo random number generator state used for random uniform sampling from lists of possible values instead of scipy.stats distributions.

error_score‘raise’ (default) or numeric

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_scoreboolean, default=False

If 'True', the cv_results_ attribute will include training scores.

best_estimator_ : estimator
    Estimator that was chosen by the search, i.e. estimator
    which gave highest score (or smallest loss if specified)
    on the left out data. Not available if refit=False.
optimizer_results_ : list of `OptimizeResult`
    Contains a `OptimizeResult` for each search space. The search space
    parameter are sorted by its name.
best_score_ : float
    Score of best_estimator on the left out data.
best_params_ : dict
    Parameter setting that gave the best results on the hold out data.
best_index_ : int
    The index (of the ``cv_results_`` arrays) which corresponds to the best
    candidate parameter setting.
    The dict at ``search.cv_results_['params'][search.best_index_]`` gives
    the parameter setting for the best model, that gives the highest
    mean score (``search.best_score_``).
scorer_ : function
    Scorer function used on the held out data to choose the best
    parameters for the model.
n_splits_ : int
    The number of cross-validation splits (folds/iterations).
Notes
-----
The parameters selected are those that maximize the score of the held-out
data, according to the scoring parameter.
If `n_jobs` was set to a value higher than one, the data is copied for each
parameter setting(and not `n_jobs` times). This is done for efficiency
reasons if individual jobs take very little time, but may raise errors if
the dataset is large and not enough memory is available.  A workaround in
this case is to set `pre_dispatch`. Then, the memory is copied only
`pre_dispatch` many times. A reasonable value for `pre_dispatch` is `2 *
n_jobs`.
