Model help using Scikit-learn when using GridSearch

GridSearchCV as @Gauthier Feuillen said is used to search best parameters of an estimator for given data. Description of GridSearchCV:- gcv = GridSearchCV(pipe, clf_params,cv=cv) gcv.fit(features,labels) clf_params will be expanded to get all possible combinations separate using ParameterGrid. features will now be split into features_train and features_test using cv. Same for labels Now the gridSearch estimator … Read more

Early stopping with Keras and sklearn GridSearchCV cross-validation

[Answer after the question was edited & clarified:] Before rushing into implementation issues, it is always a good practice to take some time to think about the methodology and the task itself; arguably, intermingling early stopping with the cross validation procedure is not a good idea. Let’s make up an example to highlight the argument. … Read more

Using explicit (predefined) validation set for grid search with sklearn

Use PredefinedSplit ps = PredefinedSplit(test_fold=your_test_fold) then set cv=ps in GridSearchCV test_fold : “array-like, shape (n_samples,) test_fold[i] gives the test set fold of sample i. A value of -1 indicates that the corresponding sample is not part of any test set folds, but will instead always be put into the training fold. Also see here when … Read more

difference between StratifiedKFold and StratifiedShuffleSplit in sklearn

In stratKFolds, each test set should not overlap, even when shuffle is included. With stratKFolds and shuffle=True, the data is shuffled once at the start, and then divided into the number of desired splits. The test data is always one of the splits, the train data is the rest. In ShuffleSplit, the data is shuffled … Read more

scikit-learn cross validation, negative values with mean squared error

Trying to close this out, so am providing the answer that David and larsmans have eloquently described in the comments section: Yes, this is supposed to happen. The actual MSE is simply the positive version of the number you’re getting. The unified scoring API always maximizes the score, so scores which need to be minimized … Read more
