Python Machine Learning Cookbook - Second Edition

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro, Prateek Joshi

Overview of this book

This eagerly anticipated second edition of the popular Python Machine Learning Cookbook will enable you to adopt a fresh approach to dealing with real-world machine learning and deep learning tasks. With the help of over 100 recipes, you will learn to build powerful machine learning applications using modern libraries from the Python ecosystem. The book will also guide you on how to implement various machine learning algorithms for classification, clustering, and recommendation engines, using a recipe-based approach. With emphasis on practical solutions, dedicated sections in the book will help you to apply supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to real-world problems. Toward the concluding chapters, you will get to grips with recipes that teach you advanced techniques including reinforcement learning, deep neural networks, and automated machine learning. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to apply machine learning techniques and leverage the full capabilities of the Python ecosystem through real-world examples.

Extracting a performance report

In the Evaluating accuracy using cross-validation metrics recipe, we calculated some metrics to measure the accuracy of the model. Let's remember its meaning. The accuracy returns the percentage of correct classifications. Precision returns the percentage of positive classifications that are correct. Recall (sensitivity) returns the percentage of positive elements of the testing set that have been classified as positive. Finally, in F1, both the precision and the recall are used to compute the score. In this recipe, we will learn how to extract a performance report.

Getting ready

We also have a function in scikit-learn that can directly print the precision, recall, and F1 scores for us...
