class hidimstat.PermutationImportance(estimator, loss: callable = <function root_mean_squared_error>, method: str = 'predict', n_jobs: int = 1, n_permutations: int = 50, random_state: int = None)[source]#

Bases: BasePerturbation

__init__(estimator, loss: callable = <function root_mean_squared_error>, method: str = 'predict', n_jobs: int = 1, n_permutations: int = 50, random_state: int = None)[source]#

Permutation Importance algorithm as presented in Breiman[1]. For each variable/group of variables, the importance is computed as the difference between the loss of the initial model and the loss of the model with the variable/group permuted.

Parameters:
estimatorsklearn compatible estimator, optionals

The estimator to use for the prediction.

losscallable, default=root_mean_squared_error

The loss function to use when comparing the perturbed model to the full model.

methodstr, default=”predict”

The method to use for the prediction. This determines the predictions passed to the loss function. Supported methods are “predict”, “predict_proba”, “decision_function”, “transform”.

n_jobsint, default=1

The number of jobs to run in parallel. Parallelization is done over the variables or groups of variables.

n_permutationsint, default=50

The number of permutations to perform. For each variable/group of variables, the mean of the losses over the n_permutations is computed.

random_stateint, default=None

The random state to use for sampling.

fit(X, y=None, groups=None)[source]#

Base fit method for perturbation-based methods. Identifies the groups.

Parameters:
X: array-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The input samples.

y: array-like of shape (n_samples,)

Not used, only present for consistency with the sklearn API.

groups: dict, optional

A dictionary where the keys are the group names and the values are the list of column names corresponding to each group. If None, the groups are identified based on the columns of X.

get_metadata_routing()[source]#

Get metadata routing of this object.

Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

Returns:
routingMetadataRequest

A MetadataRequest encapsulating routing information.

get_params(deep=True)[source]#

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:
deepbool, default=True

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:
paramsdict

Parameter names mapped to their values.

predict(X)[source]#

Compute the predictions after perturbation of the data for each group of variables.

Parameters:
X: array-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The input samples.

Returns:
out: array-like of shape (n_groups, n_permutations, n_samples)

The predictions after perturbation of the data for each group of variables.

score(X, y)[source]#

Compute the importance scores for each group of covariates.

Parameters:
X: array-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)

The input samples.

y: array-like of shape (n_samples,)

The target values.

Returns:
out_dict: dict

A dictionary containing the following keys: - ‘loss_reference’: the loss of the model with the original data. - ‘loss’: a dictionary containing the loss of the perturbed model for each group. - ‘importance’: the importance scores for each group.

set_fit_request(*, groups: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → PermutationImportance[source]#

Request metadata passed to the fit method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config()). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

  • True: metadata is requested, and passed to fit if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

  • False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to fit.

  • None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

  • str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:
groupsstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED

Metadata routing for groups parameter in fit.

Returns:
selfobject

The updated object.

set_params(**params)[source]#

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters:
**paramsdict

Estimator parameters.

Returns:
selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.
