【深耕 Python】Data Science with Python 数据科学（19）书402页练习题：模型准确率对比研究、KMeans算法的一点探讨-CSDN博客

1. The RandomForestClassifier( ) function takes a keyword argument called n_estimators that represents the “number of trees in the forest”. According to the documentation, what is the default value for n_estimators? Use random_state=1.

Answer in Python:

# ex 1
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
random_forest = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=1)
print(random_forest.n_estimators)  # default value of number of trees
random_forest_2 = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=1, n_estimators=10)
print(random_forest_2.n_estimators)  # set the value of number of trees

程序输出：

100  # 默认树棵数
10   # 设置值

2. By varying n_estimators in the call to RandomForestClassifier( ), determine the approximate value where the Random Forest classifier is less accurate than Decision Tree. Use random_state=1.

Answer in Python:
首先取n_estimators=50：

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

URL = "https://learnenough.s3.amazonaws.com/titanic.csv"
titanic = pd.read_csv(URL)

from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

dropped_columns = ["PassengerId", "Name", "Cabin", "Embarked", "SibSp", "Parch", "Ticket", "Fare"]
for column in dropped_columns:
    titanic = titanic.drop(column, axis=1)

for column in ["Age", "Sex", "Pclass"]:
    titanic = titanic[titanic[column].notna()]

sexes = {"male": 0, "female": 1}
titanic["Sex"] = titanic["Sex"].map(sexes)

X = titanic.drop("Survived", axis=1)
Y = titanic["Survived"]

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

(X_train, X_test, Y_train, Y_test) = train_test_split(X, Y, random_state=1)

decision_tree = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=1)
decision_tree.fit(X_train, Y_train)
accuracy_decision_tree = decision_tree.score(X_test, Y_test)

random_forest = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=1, n_estimators=50)
random_forest.fit(X_train, Y_train)
accuracy_random_forest = random_forest.score(X_test, Y_test)

results = pd.DataFrame({
    "Model": ["Decision Tree", "Random Forest"],
    "Score": [accuracy_decision_tree, accuracy_random_forest]
})

result_df = results.sort_values(by="Score", ascending=False)
result_df = result_df.set_index("Score")
print(result_df)

模型准确率排序输出：

# 准确率    模型
Score      Model                  
0.854749  Decision Tree
0.854749  Random Forest

此时，使用50棵树的随机森林模型和决策树模型的识别准确率恰好相等（保留至小数点后第6位）。经过多次尝试，当取n_estimators=18时两种模型的识别准确率相等：

random_forest = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=1, n_estimators=18)
random_forest.fit(X_train, Y_train)
accuracy_random_forest = random_forest.score(X_test, Y_test)

# 准确率   模型
Score     Model           
0.854749  Decision Tree
0.854749  Random Forest

取n_estimators=17时，随机森林模型的识别准确率首次变为低于决策树模型。

random_forest = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=1, n_estimators=17)
random_forest.fit(X_train, Y_train)
accuracy_random_forest = random_forest.score(X_test, Y_test)

# 准确率   模型
Score     Model             
0.854749  Decision Tree
0.843575  Random Forest

综上，要寻找的阈值大约为17.

3. By rerunning the steps in Section 11.7.2 using a few different values of random_state, verify that the ordering is not always the same as shown in Listing 11.25. Hint: Try values like 0, 2, 3, and 4.

Answer:
在划分数据集过程中和部分模型中，修改random_state参数的值。
random_state=0：

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

(X_train, X_test, Y_train, Y_test) = train_test_split(X, Y, random_state=0)

（模型参数省略）
模型识别准确率输出：

# 准确率   模型
Score     Model                   
0.821229  Logistic Regression  # 逻辑斯蒂回归
0.793296        Decision Tree  # 决策树
0.782123          Naive Bayes  # 朴素贝叶斯
0.776536        Random Forest  # 随机森林
0.681564           Perceptron  # 感知机

random_state=2：

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

(X_train, X_test, Y_train, Y_test) = train_test_split(X, Y, random_state=2)

（模型参数省略）
模型识别准确率输出：

# 准确率         模型                        
Score           Model                        
0.837989        Decision Tree  # 决策树
0.826816  Logistic Regression  # 逻辑斯蒂回归
0.821229        Random Forest  # 随机森林
0.787709           Perceptron  # 感知机
0.782123          Naive Bayes  # 朴素贝叶斯

random_state=3：

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

(X_train, X_test, Y_train, Y_test) = train_test_split(X, Y, random_state=3)

（模型参数省略）
模型识别准确率输出：

# 准确率        模型                        
Score           Model           
0.810056        Decision Tree  # 决策树
0.810056        Random Forest  # 随机森林
0.782123  Logistic Regression  # 逻辑斯蒂回归
0.765363          Naive Bayes  # 朴素贝叶斯
0.402235           Perceptron  # 感知机

和random_state=1时的准确率排序相同，但整体上存在大幅度下降趋势。

random_state=4：

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

(X_train, X_test, Y_train, Y_test) = train_test_split(X, Y, random_state=4)

（模型参数省略）
模型识别准确率输出：

# 准确率        模型                        
Score           Model           
0.837989        Random Forest  # 随机森林
0.798883  Logistic Regression  # 逻辑斯蒂回归
0.782123        Decision Tree  # 决策树
0.765363          Naive Bayes  # 朴素贝叶斯
0.603352           Perceptron  # 感知机

日后可以深究一下random_state参数对不同模型识别准确率的影响，本文在此不作赘述。不过显而易见的是，简单感知机的识别准确率性能确实基本上是垫底的。

4. Repeat the clustering steps in Section 11.7.3 using two clusters and eight clusters. Does the algorithm still work well in both cases?

Answer in Python:
首先取KMeans算法中的n_clusters=2，输出聚类结果（聚类中心点坐标）：

from sklearn.datasets import make_blobs
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

X, _ = make_blobs(n_samples=300, centers=4, random_state=42)

from sklearn.cluster import KMeans

kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=2)
kmeans.fit(X)
centers = kmeans.cluster_centers_
print(centers)

程序输出：

[[-6.83235205 -6.83045748]   # 中心点1
 [-2.26099839  6.07059051]]  # 中心点2

聚类结果可视化：

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1])
ax.scatter(centers[:, 0], centers[:, 1], s=200, alpha=0.9, color="orange")
plt.title("Cluster Result Illustration")
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
plt.grid()
plt.show()

输出的图像：

在这里插入图片描述

可见，上方3个簇被模型划分为1个类。

再取KMeans算法中的n_clusters=8，输出聚类结果（聚类中心点坐标）：

kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=8)  # 修改的代码行

聚类结果图示：

在这里插入图片描述

结果比较好理解，8 = 4 * 2，模型对每一个数据簇赋了2个聚类中心。

但是当n_clusters=16时，出人意料的是，模型并没有简单地按照4 * 4的方式进行“分配”，而是3 + 5 + 4 + 4：

kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=16)

在这里插入图片描述

直观上，认为导致这种现象的原因可能是样本点的数量。

再分别观察n_clusters=24 和 n_clusters=32时的情形：

平均分配，6 + 6 + 6 + 6

在这里插入图片描述

8 + 8 + 7 + 9，“平均率”被打破。

在这里插入图片描述

看来模型对于聚类中心的“分配”是随机的，但位置基本落在各个数据簇的边缘内，这个结果是可以令人满意的。
