GridSearchCV inputs

Let's test your knowledge of GridSeachCV inputs by answering the question below.

Three GridSearchCV objects are available in the console, named model_1, model_2, model_3. Note that there is no data available to fit these models. Instead, you must answer by looking at their construct.

Which of these GridSearchCV objects would not work when we try to fit it?

In this introductory chapter you will learn the difference between hyperparameters and parameters. You will practice extracting and analyzing parameters, setting hyperparameter values for several popular machine learning algorithms. Along the way you will learn some best practice tips & tricks for choosing which hyperparameters to tune and what values to set & build learning curves to analyze your hyperparameter choices.

Exercise 1: Introduction & 'Parameters'Exercise 2: Parameters in Logistic Regression Exercise 3: Extracting a Logistic Regression parameter Exercise 4: Extracting a Random Forest parameter Exercise 5: Introducing Hyperparameters Exercise 6: Hyperparameters in Random Forests Exercise 7: Exploring Random Forest Hyperparameters Exercise 8: Hyperparameters of KNN Exercise 9: Setting & Analyzing Hyperparameter Values Exercise 10: Automating Hyperparameter Choice Exercise 11: Building Learning Curves

This chapter introduces you to a popular automated hyperparameter tuning methodology called Grid Search. You will learn what it is, how it works and practice undertaking a Grid Search using Scikit Learn. You will then learn how to analyze the output of a Grid Search & gain practical experience doing this.

In this chapter you will be introduced to another popular automated hyperparameter tuning methodology called Random Search. You will learn what it is, how it works and importantly how it differs from grid search. You will learn some advantages and disadvantages of this method and when to choose this method compared to Grid Search. You will practice undertaking a Random Search with Scikit Learn as well as visualizing & interpreting the output.

In this final chapter you will be given a taste of more advanced hyperparameter tuning methodologies known as ''informed search''. This includes a methodology known as Coarse To Fine as well as Bayesian & Genetic hyperparameter tuning algorithms. You will learn how informed search differs from uninformed search and gain practical skills with each of the mentioned methodologies, comparing and contrasting them as you go.
