Preprocessing and Pipelines

from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
digits = load_digits()
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(digits.data,

Cross-validated pipelines including scaling, we need to estimate mean and standard deviation separately for each fold. To do that, we build a pipeline.



In [ ]:

    
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline, make_pipeline
from sklearn.svm import SVC
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler



In [ ]:

    
standard_scaler = StandardScaler()
standard_scaler.fit(X_train)
X_train_scaled = standard_scaler.transform(X_train)
svm = SVC()
svm.fit(X_train_scaled, y_train)



In [ ]:

    
X_test_scaled = standard_scaler.transform(X_test)
svm.score(X_test_scaled, y_test)



In [ ]:

    
pipeline = make_pipeline(StandardScaler(), SVC())



In [ ]:

    
pipeline.fit(X_train, y_train)



In [ ]:

    
pipeline.score(X_test, y_test)



In [ ]:

    
pipeline.predict(X_test)

Cross-validation with a pipeline

cross_val_score(pipeline, X_train, y_train)

Grid Search with a pipeline



In [ ]:

    
import numpy as np
from sklearn.grid_search import GridSearchCV

param_grid = {'svc__C': 10. ** np.arange(-3, 3),
              'svc__gamma' : 10. ** np.arange(-3, 3)
             }

grid_pipeline = GridSearchCV(pipeline, param_grid=param_grid)



In [ ]:

    
grid_pipeline.fit(X_train, y_train)



In [ ]:

    
grid_pipeline.score(X_test, y_test)
