Belang van features

Hoewel sommige snoepattributen, zoals chocolade, heel populair kunnen zijn, betekent dat niet dat ze belangrijk zijn voor de modelvoorspelling. Nadat een random forest-model is getraind, kun je het modelattribuut .feature_importances_ bekijken om te zien welke variabelen de grootste impact hadden. Je kunt controleren hoe belangrijk elke variabele was in het model door over de feature-importance-array te loopen met enumerate().

Als je Python’s enumerate()-functie niet kent: die kan over een lijst loopen en tegelijk automatisch een teller bijhouden.

# Fit the model using X and y
rfr.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Print how important each column is to the model
for i, item in enumerate(rfr.____):
      # Use i and item to print out the feature importance of each column
    print("{0:s}: {1:.2f}".format(X_train.columns[____], ____))

Before we can validate models, we need an understanding of how to create and work with them. This chapter provides an introduction to running regression and classification models in scikit-learn. We will use this model building foundation throughout the remaining chapters.

This chapter focuses on the basics of model validation. From splitting data into training, validation, and testing datasets, to creating an understanding of the bias-variance tradeoff, we build the foundation for the techniques of K-Fold and Leave-One-Out validation practiced in chapter three.

Holdout sets are a great start to model validation. However, using a single train and test set if often not enough. Cross-validation is considered the gold standard when it comes to validating model performance and is almost always used when tuning model hyper-parameters. This chapter focuses on performing cross-validation to validate model performance.

The first three chapters focused on model validation techniques. In chapter 4 we apply these techniques, specifically cross-validation, while learning about hyperparameter tuning. After all, model validation makes tuning possible and helps us select the overall best model.
