sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_score¶
- sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_score(estimator, X, y=None, labels=None, scoring=None, cv=None, n_jobs=1, verbose=0, fit_params=None, pre_dispatch='2*n_jobs')[source]¶
Evaluate a score by cross-validation
Read more in the User Guide.
Parameters: estimator : estimator object implementing ‘fit’
The object to use to fit the data.
X : array-like
The data to fit. Can be, for example a list, or an array at least 2d.
y : array-like, optional, default: None
The target variable to try to predict in the case of supervised learning.
labels : array-like, with shape (n_samples,), optional
Group labels for the samples used while splitting the dataset into train/test set.
scoring : string, callable or None, optional, default: None
A string (see model evaluation documentation) or a scorer callable object / function with signature scorer(estimator, X, y).
cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional
Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:
- None, to use the default 3-fold cross validation,
- integer, to specify the number of folds in a (Stratified)KFold,
- An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.
- An iterable yielding train, test splits.
For integer/None inputs, StratifiedKFold is used for classification tasks, when y is binary or multiclass.
See the sklearn.model_selection module for the list of cross-validation strategies that can be used here.
Also refer cross-validation documentation
n_jobs : integer, optional
The number of CPUs to use to do the computation. -1 means ‘all CPUs’.
verbose : integer, optional
The verbosity level.
fit_params : dict, optional
Parameters to pass to the fit method of the estimator.
pre_dispatch : int, or string, optional
Controls the number of jobs that get dispatched during parallel execution. Reducing this number can be useful to avoid an explosion of memory consumption when more jobs get dispatched than CPUs can process. This parameter can be:
- None, in which case all the jobs are immediately created and spawned. Use this for lightweight and fast-running jobs, to avoid delays due to on-demand spawning of the jobs
- An int, giving the exact number of total jobs that are spawned
- A string, giving an expression as a function of n_jobs, as in ‘2*n_jobs’
Returns: scores : array of float, shape=(len(list(cv)),)
Array of scores of the estimator for each run of the cross validation.
