Python – Using statsmodel estimations with scikit-learn cross validation, is it possible

cross-validationpythonscikit-learnstatsmodels

I posted this question to Cross Validated forum and later realized may be this would find appropriate audience in stackoverlfow instead.

I am looking for a way I can use the fit object (result) ontained from python statsmodel to feed into cross_val_score of scikit-learn cross_validation method?
The attached link suggests that it may be possible but I have not succeeded.

I am getting the following error

estimator should a be an estimator implementing 'fit' method
statsmodels.discrete.discrete_model.BinaryResultsWrapper object at
0x7fa6e801c590 was passed

Refer this link

Indeed, you cannot use cross_val_score directly on statsmodels objects, because of different interface: in statsmodels

training data is passed directly into the constructor
a separate object contains the result of model estimation

However, you can write a simple wrapper to make statsmodels objects look like sklearn estimators:

import statsmodels.api as sm
from sklearn.base import BaseEstimator, RegressorMixin

class SMWrapper(BaseEstimator, RegressorMixin):
    """ A universal sklearn-style wrapper for statsmodels regressors """
    def __init__(self, model_class, fit_intercept=True):
        self.model_class = model_class
        self.fit_intercept = fit_intercept
    def fit(self, X, y):
        if self.fit_intercept:
            X = sm.add_constant(X)
        self.model_ = self.model_class(y, X)
        self.results_ = self.model_.fit()
        return self
    def predict(self, X):
        if self.fit_intercept:
            X = sm.add_constant(X)
        return self.results_.predict(X)

This class contains correct fit and predict methods, and can be used with sklearn, e.g. cross-validated or included into a pipeline. Like here:

from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

X, y = make_regression(random_state=1, n_samples=300, noise=100)

print(cross_val_score(SMWrapper(sm.OLS), X, y, scoring='r2'))
print(cross_val_score(LinearRegression(), X, y, scoring='r2'))

You can see that the output of two models is identical, because they are both OLS models, cross-validated in the same way.

Some notes added 26mar 2012:

1) for cosine distance, first normalize all the data vectors to |X| = 1; then

cosinedistance( X, Y ) = 1 - X . Y = Euclidean distance |X - Y|^2 / 2

is fast. For bit vectors, keep the norms separately from the vectors instead of expanding out to floats (although some programs may expand for you). For sparse vectors, say 1 % of N, X . Y should take time O( 2 % N ), space O(N); but I don't know which programs do that.

2) Scikit-learn clustering gives an excellent overview of k-means, mini-batch-k-means ... with code that works on scipy.sparse matrices.

3) Always check cluster sizes after k-means. If you're expecting roughly equal-sized clusters, but they come out [44 37 9 5 5] % ... (sound of head-scratching).

Python – Save classifier to disk in scikit-learn

Classifiers are just objects that can be pickled and dumped like any other. To continue your example:

import cPickle
# save the classifier
with open('my_dumped_classifier.pkl', 'wb') as fid:
    cPickle.dump(gnb, fid)    

# load it again
with open('my_dumped_classifier.pkl', 'rb') as fid:
    gnb_loaded = cPickle.load(fid)

Edit: if you are using a sklearn Pipeline in which you have custom transformers that cannot be serialized by pickle (nor by joblib), then using Neuraxle's custom ML Pipeline saving is a solution where you can define your own custom step savers on a per-step basis. The savers are called for each step if defined upon saving, and otherwise joblib is used as default for steps without a saver.
