Evaluate the 10-fold CV error

In this exercise, you'll evaluate the 10-fold CV Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) achieved by the regression tree dt that you instantiated in the previous exercise.

In addition to dt, the training data including X_train and y_train are available in your workspace. We also imported cross_val_score from sklearn.model_selection.

Note that since cross_val_score has only the option of evaluating the negative MSEs, its output should be multiplied by negative one to obtain the MSEs. The CV RMSE can then be obtained by computing the square root of the average MSE.

Classification and Regression Trees (CART) are a set of supervised learning models used for problems involving classification and regression. In this chapter, you'll be introduced to the CART algorithm.

Exercise 1: Decision tree for classification Exercise 2: Train your first classification tree Exercise 3: Evaluate the classification tree Exercise 4: Logistic regression vs classification tree Exercise 5: Classification tree Learning Exercise 6: Growing a classification tree Exercise 7: Using entropy as a criterion Exercise 8: Entropy vs Gini index Exercise 9: Decision tree for regression Exercise 10: Train your first regression tree Exercise 11: Evaluate the regression tree Exercise 12: Linear regression vs regression tree

The bias-variance tradeoff is one of the fundamental concepts in supervised machine learning. In this chapter, you'll understand how to diagnose the problems of overfitting and underfitting. You'll also be introduced to the concept of ensembling where the predictions of several models are aggregated to produce predictions that are more robust.

Exercise 1: Generalization Error Exercise 2: Complexity, bias and variance Exercise 3: Overfitting and underfitting Exercise 4: Diagnose bias and variance problems Exercise 5: Instantiate the model Exercise 6: Evaluate the 10-fold CV error

Bagging is an ensemble method involving training the same algorithm many times using different subsets sampled from the training data. In this chapter, you'll understand how bagging can be used to create a tree ensemble. You'll also learn how the random forests algorithm can lead to further ensemble diversity through randomization at the level of each split in the trees forming the ensemble.

Boosting refers to an ensemble method in which several models are trained sequentially with each model learning from the errors of its predecessors. In this chapter, you'll be introduced to the two boosting methods of AdaBoost and Gradient Boosting.

Exercise 1: Adaboost Exercise 2: Define the AdaBoost classifier Exercise 3: Train the AdaBoost classifier Exercise 4: Evaluate the AdaBoost classifier Exercise 5: Gradient Boosting (GB)Exercise 6: Define the GB regressor Exercise 7: Train the GB regressor Exercise 8: Evaluate the GB regressor Exercise 9: Stochastic Gradient Boosting (SGB)Exercise 10: Regression with SGB Exercise 11: Train the SGB regressor Exercise 12: Evaluate the SGB regressor

The hyperparameters of a machine learning model are parameters that are not learned from data. They should be set prior to fitting the model to the training set. In this chapter, you'll learn how to tune the hyperparameters of a tree-based model using grid search cross validation.
