HW05: Practice with algorithm selection, grid search, cross validation, multiclass classification, one-class classification, imbalanced data, and model selection.

[Please put your name and NetID here.]

Hello Students:

Start by downloading HW05.ipynb from this folder. Then develop it into your solution.

Write code where you see “… your code here …” below. (You are welcome to use more than one cell.)
If you have questions, please ask them in class, office hours, or piazza. Our TA and I are very happy to help with the programming (provided you start early enough, and provided we are not helping so much that we undermine your learning).
When you are done, run these Notebook commands:
- Shift-L (once, so that line numbers are visible)
- Kernel > Restart and Run All (run all cells from scratch)
- Esc S (save)
- File > Download as > HTML
Turn in:
- HW03.ipynb to Canvas’s HW03.ipynb assignment
- HW03.html to Canvas’s HW03.html assignment
- As a check, download your files from Canvas to a new ‘junk’ folder. Try ‘Kernel > Restart and Run All’ on the ‘.ipynb’ file to make sure it works. Glance through the ‘.html’ file.
Turn in partial solutions to Canvas before the deadline. e.g. Turn in part 1, then parts 1 and 2, then your whole solution. That way we can award partial credit even if you miss the deadline. We will grade your last submission before the deadline.

1. Algorithm selection for multiclass classification by optical recognition of handwritten digits

The digits dataset has 1797 labeled images of hand-written digits.

$X$ = digits.data has shape (1797, 64).
- Each image $x_{i}$ is represented as the $i$ th row of 64 pixel values in the 2D digits.data array that corresponds to an 8×8 photo of a handwritten digit.
$y$ = digits.target has shape (1797,). Each $y_{i}$ is a number from 0 to 9 indicating the handwritten digit that was photographed and stored in $x_{i}$ .

1(a) Load the digits dataset and split it into training, validation, and test sets as I did in the lecture example code 07ensemble.html.

This step does not need to display any output.

In [2]:

# ... your code here ...

1(b) Use algorithm selection on training and validation data to choose a best classifier.

Loop through these four classifiers and corresponding parameters, doing a grid search to find the best hyperparameter setting. Use only the training data for the grid search.

SVM:
- Try all values of kernel in ‘linear’, ‘rbf’.
- Try all values of C in 0.01, 1, 100.
logistic regression:
- Use max_iter=5000 to avoid a nonconvergence warning.
- Try all values of C in 0.01, 1, 100.
ID3 decision tree:
- Use criterion='entropy to get our ID3 tree.
- Try all values of max_depth in 1, 3, 5, 7.
kNN:
- (Use the default Euclidean distance).
- Try all values of n_neighbors in 1, 2, 3, 4.

Hint:

Make a list of the four classifiers without setting any hyperparameters.
Make a list of four corresponding parameter dictionaries.
Loop through 0, 1, 2, 3:
- Run grid search on the $i$ th classifier with the $i$ th parameter dictionary on the training data. (The grid search does its own cross-validation using the training data.)
- Use the $i$ th classifier with its best hyperparameter settings (just clf from clf = GridSearchCV(...)) to find the accuracy of the model on the validation data, i.e. find clf.score(X_valid, y_valid).
Keep track, as your loop progresses, of:
- the index $i$ of the best classifier (initialize it to -1 or some other value)
- the best accuracy score on validation data (initialize it to -np.Inf)
- the best classifier with its hyperparameter settings, that is the best clf from clf = GridSearchCV(...) (initialize it to None or some other value)

I needed about 30 lines of code to do this. It took a minute to run.

# ... your code here ...

1(c) Use the test data to evaluate your best classifier and its hyperparameter settings from 1(b).

Report the result of calling .score(X_test, y_test) on your best classifier/hyperparameters.
Make a confusion matrix from the true y_test values and the corresponding $\hat{y}$ values predicted by your best classifier/hyperparameters on X_test.
For each of the wrong predictions (where y_test and your $^y$ values disagree), show:
- The index $i$ in the test data of that example $x$
- The correct label $y_{i}$
- Your incorrect prediction ${\hat{y}}_{i}$
- A plot of that image

2. One-class classification (outlier detection)

2(a) There is an old gradebook of mine at http://pages.stat.wisc.edu/~jgillett/451/data/midtermGrades.txt.

Use pd.read_table() to read it into a DataFrame.

Hint: pd.read_table() has many parameters. Check its documentation to find three parameters to:

Read from the given URL
Use the separator ‘\s+’, which means ‘one or more whitespace characters’
Skip the first 12 rows, as they are a note to students and not part of the gradebook

In [5]:

# ... your code here ...

In [6]:

df = pd.read_table(filepath_or_buffer='https://pages.stat.wisc.edu/~jgillett/451/data/midtermGrades.txt',
                   sep='\s+', skiprows=12)

2(b) Use `clf = mixture.GaussianMixture(n_components=1)` to make a one-class Gaussian model to decide which $x = (Exam1, Exam2)$ are outliers:

Set a matrix X to the first two columns, Exam1 and Exam.
These exams were worth 125 points each. Transform scores to percentages in $[0, 100]$ .
Hint: I tried the MinMaxScaler() first, but it does the wrong thing if there aren’t scores of 0 and 125 in each column. So I just multiplied the whole matrix by 100 / 125.
Fit your classifier to X.
Hint:
- The reference page for mixture.GaussianMixture includes a fit(X, y=None) method with the comment that y is ignored (as this is an unsupervised learning algorithm–there is no $y$ ) but present for API consistency. So we can fit with just X.
- I got a warning about “KMeans … memory leak”. You may ignore this warning if you see it. I still got satisfactory results.
Print the center $μ$ and covariance matrix $Σ$ from the two-variable $N_{2} (μ, Σ)$ distribution you estimated.

In [7]:

# ... your code here ...

2(c) Here I have given you code to make a contour plot of the negative log likelihood $- \ln f_{μ, Σ} (x)$ for $X \sim N_{2} (μ, Σ)$ , provided you have set `clf`.

# make contour plot of log-likelihood of samples from clf.score_samples()
margin = 10
x = np.linspace(0 - margin, 100 + margin)
y = np.linspace(0 - margin, 100 + margin)
grid_x, grid_y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
two_column_grid_x_grid_y = np.array([grid_x.ravel(), grid_y.ravel()]).T
negative_log_pdf_values = -clf.score_samples(two_column_grid_x_grid_y)
grid_z = negative_log_pdf_values
grid_z = grid_z.reshape(grid_x.shape)
plt.contour(grid_x, grid_y, grid_z, levels=10) # X, Y, Z
plt.title('(Exam1, Exam2) pairs')

Paste my code into your code cell below and add more code:

Add black $x$ – and $y$ – axes. Label them Exam1 and Exam2.
Plot the data points in blue.
Plot $μ =$ clf.means_ as a big lime dot.
Overplot (i.e. plot again) in red the 8 outliers determined by a threshold consisting of the 0.02 quantile of the pdf values $f_{μ, Σ} (x)$ for each $x$ in X.
Hint: clf.score_samples(X) gives log likelihood, so np.exp(clf.score_samples(X)) gives the required $f_{μ, Σ} (x)$ values.

2(d) Write a little code to report whether, by the 0.02 quantile criterion, $x =$ (Exam1=50, Exam2=100) is an outlier.

Hint: Compare $f_{μ, Σ} (x)$ to your threshold

3. Explore the fact that accuracy can be misleading for imbalanced data.

Here I make a fake imbalanced data set by randomly sampling $y$ from a distribution with $P (y = 0) = 0.980$ and $P (y = 1) = 0.020$ .

In [11]:

X, y = make_classification(n_samples=1000, n_features=4, n_classes=2, weights=[0.980, 0.020],
                           n_clusters_per_class=1, flip_y=0.01, random_state=0)
print(f'np.bincount(y)={np.bincount(y)}; we expect about 980 zeros and 20 ones.')
print(f'np.mean(y)={np.mean(y)}; we expect the proportion of ones to be about 0.020.')

np.bincount(y)=[973  27]; we expect about 980 zeros and 20 ones.
np.mean(y)=0.027; we expect the proportion of ones to be about 0.020.

Here I split the data into 50% training and 50% testing data.

In [12]:

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=.5,
                                                    random_state=0, stratify=y)
print(f'np.bincount(y_train)={np.bincount(y_train)}')
print(f'np.mean(y_train)={np.mean(y_train)}.')
print(f'np.bincount(y_test)={np.bincount(y_test)}.')
print(f'np.mean(y_test)={np.mean(y_test)}.')

np.bincount(y_train)=[486  14]
np.mean(y_train)=0.028.
np.bincount(y_test)=[487  13].
np.mean(y_test)=0.026.

3a. Train and assess a gradient boosting model.

Train on the training data.
Use 100 trees of maximum depth 1 and learning rate $α = 0.25$ .
Use random_state=0 (so that teacher, TAs, and students have a chance of getting the same results).
Display the accuracy, precision, recall, and AUC on the test data. Use 3 decimal places. Use a labeled print statement with 3 decimal places so the reader can easily find each metric.
Make an ROC curve from your classifier and the test data.

In [13]:

# ... your code here ...

Note the high accuracy but lousy precision, recall, and AUC.

Note that since the data have about 98% $y = 0$ , we could get about 98% accuracy by just always predicting $\hat{y} = 0$ . High accuracy alone is not necessarily helpful.

3b. Now oversample the data to get a balanced data set.

Use the RandomOverSampler(random_state=0) to oversample and get a balanced data set.
Repeat my train_test_split() block from above.
Repeat your train/assess block from above.

In [14]:

# ... your code here ...

Note that we traded a little accuracy for much improved precision, recall, and AUC.

If you do classification in your project and report accuracy, please also report the proportions of $y = 0$ and $y = 1$ in your test data so that we get insight into whether your model improves upon always guessing $\hat{y} = 0$ or always guessing $\hat{y} = 1$ .
