BinaryClassificationEvaluator#

class pyspark.ml.evaluation.BinaryClassificationEvaluator(*, rawPredictionCol='rawPrediction', labelCol='label', metricName='areaUnderROC', weightCol=None, numBins=1000)[source]#

Evaluator for binary classification, which expects input columns rawPrediction, label and an optional weight column. The rawPrediction column can be of type double (binary 0/1 prediction, or probability of label 1) or of type vector (length-2 vector of raw predictions, scores, or label probabilities).

New in version 1.4.0.

Methods

`clear`(param)	Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.
`copy`([extra])	Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params.
`evaluate`(dataset[, params])	Evaluates the output with optional parameters.
`explainParam`(param)	Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.
`explainParams`()	Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.
`extractParamMap`([extra])	Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.
`getLabelCol`()	Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.
`getMetricName`()	Gets the value of metricName or its default value.
`getNumBins`()	Gets the value of numBins or its default value.
`getOrDefault`(param)	Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.
`getParam`(paramName)	Gets a param by its name.
`getRawPredictionCol`()	Gets the value of rawPredictionCol or its default value.
`getWeightCol`()	Gets the value of weightCol or its default value.
`hasDefault`(param)	Checks whether a param has a default value.
`hasParam`(paramName)	Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.
`isDefined`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.
`isLargerBetter`()	Indicates whether the metric returned by `evaluate()` should be maximized (True, default) or minimized (False).
`isSet`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.
`load`(path)	Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).
`read`()	Returns an MLReader instance for this class.
`save`(path)	Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of 'write().save(path)'.
`set`(param, value)	Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
`setLabelCol`(value)	Sets the value of `labelCol`.
`setMetricName`(value)	Sets the value of `metricName`.
`setNumBins`(value)	Sets the value of `numBins`.
`setParams`(self, \*[, rawPredictionCol, ...])	Sets params for binary classification evaluator.
`setRawPredictionCol`(value)	Sets the value of `rawPredictionCol`.
`setWeightCol`(value)	Sets the value of `weightCol`.
`write`()	Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Methods Documentation

clear(param)#: Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)#

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.

Parameters

extradict, optional: Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns

JavaParams: Copy of this instance

evaluate(dataset, params=None)#

Evaluates the output with optional parameters.

New in version 1.4.0.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: a dataset that contains labels/observations and predictions
paramsdict, optional: an optional param map that overrides embedded params

Returns

float: metric

explainParam(param)#: Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()#: Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)#

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra param values

Returns

dict: merged param map

getLabelCol()#: Gets the value of labelCol or its default value.

getMetricName()[source]#: Gets the value of metricName or its default value.

New in version 1.4.0.

getNumBins()[source]#: Gets the value of numBins or its default value.

New in version 3.0.0.

getOrDefault(param)#: Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value. Raises an error if neither is set.

getParam(paramName)#: Gets a param by its name.

getRawPredictionCol()#: Gets the value of rawPredictionCol or its default value.

getWeightCol()#: Gets the value of weightCol or its default value.

hasParam(paramName)#: Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.

isDefined(param)#: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.

New in version 1.5.0.

isSet(param)#: Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.

classmethod load(path)#: Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).

classmethod read()#: Returns an MLReader instance for this class.

save(path)#: Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of ‘write().save(path)’.

set(param, value)#: Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
