Classification error
L = loss(ens,X,Y)
L = loss(ens,X,Y,Name,Value)
L = loss(ens,X,Y) returns the classification error for ensemble ens computed using matrix of predictors X and true class labels Y.
L = loss(ens,X,Y,Name,Value) computes classification error with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.
ens |
Classification ensemble created with fitensemble, or a compact classification ensemble created with compact. |
X |
Matrix of data to classify. Each row of X represents one observation, and each column represents one predictor. X must have the same number of columns as the data used to train ens. X should have the same number of rows as the number of elements in Y. |
Y |
Classification of X. Y should be of the same type as the classification used to train ens, and its number of elements should equal the number of rows of X. |
Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside single quotes (' '). You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.
'learners' |
Indices of weak learners in the ensemble ranging from 1 to ens.NTrained. loss uses only these learners for calculating loss. Default: 1:NTrained |
'lossfun ' |
Function handle or string representing a loss function. Built-in loss functions:
You can write your own loss function in the syntax described in Loss Functions. Default: 'classiferror' |
'mode' |
String representing the meaning of the output L:
Default: 'ensemble' |
'UseObsForLearner' |
A logical matrix of size N-by-T, where:
When UseObsForLearner(i,j) is true, learner j is used in predicting the class of row i of X. Default: true(N,T) |
'weights' |
Vector of observation weights, with nonnegative entries. The length of weights must equal the number of rows in X. Default: ones(size(X,1),1) |
L |
Loss, by default the fraction of misclassified data. L can be a vector, and can mean different things, depending on the name-value pair settings. |
The default classification error is the fraction of the data X that ens misclassifies, where Y are the true classifications.
Weighted classification error is the sum of weight i times the Boolean value that is 1 when tree misclassifies the ith row of X, divided by the sum of the weights.
The built-in loss functions are:
'binodeviance' — For binary classification, assume the classes yn are -1 and 1. With weight vector w normalized to have sum 1, and predictions of row n of data X as f(Xn), the binomial deviance is
'classiferror' — Fraction of misclassified data, weighted by w.
'exponential' — With the same definitions as for 'binodeviance', the exponential loss is
To write your own loss function, create a function file of the form
function loss = lossfun(C,S,W,COST)
N is the number of rows of ens.X.
K is the number of classes in ens, represented in ens.ClassNames.
C is an N-by-K logical matrix, with one true per row for the true class. The index for each class is its position in tree.ClassNames.
S is an N-by-K numeric matrix. S is a matrix of posterior probabilities for classes with one row per observation, similar to the score output from predict.
W is a numeric vector with N elements, the observation weights.
COST is a K-by-K numeric matrix of misclassification costs. The default 'classiferror' gives a cost of 0 for correct classification, and 1 for misclassification.
The output loss should be a scalar.
Pass the function handle @lossfun as the value of the lossfun name-value pair.
Create a compact classification ensemble for the ionosphere data, and find the fraction of training data that the ensemble misclassifies:
load ionosphere
ada = fitensemble(X,Y,'AdaBoostM1',100,'tree');
adb = compact(ada);
L = loss(adb,X,Y)
L =
