Ex 4: Feature Selection using SelectFromModel

http://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/feature_selection/plot_select_from_model_boston.html

此範例是示範以LassoCV來挑選特徵,Lasso是一種用來計算稀疏矩陣的線性模形。在某些情況下是非常有用的,因為在此演算過程中會以較少數的特徵來找最佳解,基於參數有相依性的情況下,使變數的數目有效的縮減。因此,Lasso法以及它的變形式可算是壓縮參數關係基本方法。在某些情況下,此方法可以準確的偵測非零權重的值。

Lasso最佳化的目標函數:

  1. LassoCV法來計算目標資訊性特徵數目較少的資料

  2. SelectFromModel設定特徵重要性的門檻值來選擇特徵

  3. 提高SelectFromModel.threshold使目標資訊性特徵數逼近預期的數目

(一)取得波士頓房產資料

from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
from sklearn.feature_selection import SelectFromModel
from sklearn.linear_model import LassoCV

# Load the boston dataset.
boston = load_boston()
X, y = boston['data'], boston['target']

(二)使用LassoCV功能來篩選具有影響力的特徵

  1. 由於資料的類型為連續數字,選用LassoCV來做最具有代表性的特徵選取。

  2. 當設定好門檻值,並做訓練後,可以用transform(X)取得計算過後,被認為是具有影響力的特徵以及對應的樣本,可以由其列的數目知道總影響力特徵有幾個。

  3. 後面使用了增加門檻值來達到限制最後特徵數目的

  4. 使用門檻值來決定後來選取的參數,其說明在下一個標題。

  5. 需要用後設轉換

(三)設定選取參數的門檻值

while n_features > 2:
    sfm.threshold += 0.1
    X_transform = sfm.transform(X)
    n_features = X_transform.shape[1]
