What is the difference between MinMaxScaler() and StandardScaler(). mms = MinMaxScaler(feature_range = (0, 1)) (Used in a machine learning model) sc = StandardScaler() (In another machine learning model they used standard-scaler and not min-max-scaler) Answer From ScikitLearn site: StandardScaler removes the …

Interpreting logistic regression feature coefficient values in sklearn
I have fit a logistic regression model to my data. Imagine, I have four features: 1) which condition the participant received, 2) whether the participant had any prior knowledge/background about the phenomenon tested (binary response in post-experimental questionnaire), 3) time spent on the experimental task,…
GridSearchCV.best_score not same as cross_val_score(GridSearchCV.best_estimator_)
Consider the following gridsearch : grid = GridSearchCV(clf, parameters, n_jobs =-1, iid=True, cv =5) grid_fit = grid.fit(X_train1, y_train1) According to Sklearn’s ressource, grid_fit.best_score_ returns The mean cross-validated score of the best_estimator . To me that would mean that the average of : …
Scaling / Normalizing pandas column
I have a dataframe like: I’d like to create a newly scaled column in the dataframe called SIZE where SIZE is a number between 5 and 50. For Example: I’ve tried but got Reshape your data either using array.reshape(-1, 1) if your data has a single feature or array.reshape(1, -1) if it contains a sin…
What does calling fit() multiple times on the same model do?
After I instantiate a scikit model (e.g. LinearRegression), if I call its fit() method multiple times (with different X and y data), what happens? Does it fit the model on the data like if I just re-instantiated the model (i.e. from scratch), or does it keep into accounts data already fitted from the previous…
Python SKLearn: How to Get Feature Names After OneHotEncoder?
I would like to get the feature names of a data set after it has been transformed by SKLearn OneHotEncoder. In active_features_ attribute in OneHotEncoder one can see a very good explanation how the attributes n_values_, feature_indices_ and active_features_ get filled after transform() was executed. My quest…
LightGBMError “Check failed: num_data > 0” with Sklearn RandomizedSearchCV
I’m trying LightGBMRegressor parameter tuning with Sklearn RandomizedSearchCV. I got an error with message below. error: I cannot tell why and the specific parameters caused this error. Any of params_dist below was not suitable for train_x.shape:(1630, 1565)? Please tell me any hints or solutions. Thank…
pipeline for RandomOversampler, RandomForestClassifier & GridSearchCV
I am working on a binary text classification problem. As the classes are highly imbalanced, I am using sampling techniques like RandomOversampler(). Then for classification I would use RandomForestClassifier() whose parameters need to be tuned using GridSearchCV(). I am trying to create a pipeline to do these…
ValueError: special directives must be the first entry
why this error appears and what does it mean exactly? It appears on this code (I put only the part of machine learning, because the code is so long): The error is the following: Thank you in advance! Answer Looking at what the code is doing I don’t think you should have np.c_ there at all. The model is …
Kmean clustering top terms in cluster
I am using python Kmean clustering algorithm for cluster document. I have created a term-document matrix Then I applied Kmean clustering using following code My next task is to see the top terms in every cluster, searching on googole suggested that many of the people has used the km.cluster_centers_.argsort()…
