verticapy.machine_learning.vertica.neighbors.KNeighborsClassifier¶

class verticapy.machine_learning.vertica.neighbors.KNeighborsClassifier(name: str = None, overwrite_model: bool = False, n_neighbors: int = 5, p: int = 2)¶

[Beta Version] Creates a KNeighborsClassifier object using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm. This object uses pure SQL to compute all the distances and final score.

Warning

This algorithm uses a CROSS JOIN during computation and is therefore computationally expensive at O(n * n), where n is the total number of elements. Since KNeighborsClassifier uses the p- distance, it is highly sensitive to unnormalized data.

Important

This algorithm is not Vertica Native and relies solely on SQL for attribute computation. While this model does not take advantage of the benefits provided by a model management system, including versioning and tracking, the SQL code it generates can still be used to create a pipeline.

Parameters¶

n_neighbors: int, optional: Number of neighbors to consider when computing the score.
p: int, optional: The p of the p-distances (distance metric used during the model computation).

Attributes¶

Many attributes are created during the fitting phase.

n_neighbors_: int: Number of neighbors.
p_: int: The p of the p-distances.
classes_: numpy.array: The classes labels.

Note

All attributes can be accessed using the get_attributes() method.

Examples¶

The following examples provide a basic understanding of usage. For more detailed examples, please refer to the Machine Learning or the Examples section on the website.

Load data for machine learning¶

We import verticapy:

import verticapy as vp

Hint

By assigning an alias to verticapy, we mitigate the risk of code collisions with other libraries. This precaution is necessary because verticapy uses commonly known function names like “average” and “median”, which can potentially lead to naming conflicts. The use of an alias ensures that the functions from verticapy are used as intended without interfering with functions from other libraries.

For this example, we will use the winequality dataset.

import verticapy.datasets as vpd

data = vpd.load_winequality()

Note

VerticaPy offers a wide range of sample datasets that are ideal for training and testing purposes. You can explore the full list of available datasets in the Datasets, which provides detailed information on each dataset and how to use them effectively. These datasets are invaluable resources for honing your data analysis and machine learning skills within the VerticaPy environment.

There are multiple classes for the “quality” column. Let us filter the data for classes between 5 and 7:

data = data[data["quality"]>=5]
data = data[data["quality"]<=7]

We can the balance the dataset to ensure equal representation:

data = data.balance(column="quality", x = 1)

You can easily divide your dataset into training and testing subsets using the vDataFrame.train_test_split() method. This is a crucial step when preparing your data for machine learning, as it allows you to evaluate the performance of your models accurately.

train, test = data.train_test_split(test_size = 0.2)

Warning

In this case, VerticaPy utilizes seeded randomization to guarantee the reproducibility of your data split. However, please be aware that this approach may lead to reduced performance. For a more efficient data split, you can use the vDataFrame.to_db() method to save your results into tables or temporary tables. This will help enhance the overall performance of the process.

Balancing the Dataset¶

In VerticaPy, balancing a dataset to address class imbalances is made straightforward through the balance() function within the preprocessing module. This function enables users to rectify skewed class distributions efficiently. By specifying the target variable and setting parameters like the method for balancing, users can effortlessly achieve a more equitable representation of classes in their dataset. Whether opting for over-sampling, under-sampling, or a combination of both, VerticaPy’s balance() function streamlines the process, empowering users to enhance the performance and fairness of their machine learning models trained on imbalanced data.

To balance the dataset, use the following syntax.

from verticapy.machine_learning.vertica.preprocessing import balance

balanced_train = balance(
    name = "my_schema.train_balanced",
    input_relation = train,
    y = "good",
    method = "hybrid",
)

Note

With this code, a table named train_balanced is created in the my_schema schema. It can then be used to train the model. In the rest of the example, we will work with the full dataset.

Hint

Balancing the dataset is a crucial step in improving the accuracy of machine learning models, particularly when faced with imbalanced class distributions. By addressing disparities in the number of instances across different classes, the model becomes more adept at learning patterns from all classes rather than being biased towards the majority class. This, in turn, enhances the model’s ability to make accurate predictions for under-represented classes. The balanced dataset ensures that the model is not dominated by the majority class and, as a result, leads to more robust and unbiased model performance. Therefore, by employing techniques such as over-sampling, under-sampling, or a combination of both during dataset preparation, practitioners can significantly contribute to achieving higher accuracy and better generalization of their machine learning models.

Model Initialization¶

First we import the KNeighborsClassifier model:

from verticapy.machine_learning.vertica import KNeighborsClassifier

Then we can create the model:

model = KNeighborsClassifier(
   n_neighbors = 10,
   p = 2,
)

Hint

In verticapy 1.0.x and higher, you do not need to specify the model name, as the name is automatically assigned. If you need to re-use the model, you can fetch the model name from the model’s attributes.

Model Training¶

We can now fit the model:

model.fit(
    train,
    [
        "fixed_acidity",
        "volatile_acidity",
        "density",
        "pH",
    ],
    "quality",
    test,
)

Important

To train a model, you can directly use the vDataFrame or the name of the relation stored in the database. The test set is optional and is only used to compute the test metrics. In verticapy, we don’t work using X matrices and y vectors. Instead, we work directly with lists of predictors and the response name.

Important

As this model is not native, it solely relies on SQL statements to compute various attributes, storing them within the object. No data is saved in the database.

Metrics¶

We can get the entire report using:

model.report()

Important

Most metrics are computed using a single SQL query, but some of them might require multiple SQL queries. Selecting only the necessary metrics in the report can help optimize performance. E.g. model.report(metrics = ["auc", "accuracy"]).

For classification models, we can easily modify the cutoff to observe the effect on different metrics:

model.report(cutoff = 0.2)

You can also use the KNeighborsClassifier.score function to compute any classification metric. The default metric is the accuracy:

model.score(metric = "f1", average = "macro")
Out[4]: 0.3538934088340248

Note

For multi-class scoring, verticapy allows the flexibility to use three averaging techniques: micro, macro and weighted. Please refer to this link for more details on how they are calculated.

Note

Predictions can be made automatically using the test set, in which case you don’t need to specify the predictors. Alternatively, you can pass only the vDataFrame to the predict() function, but in this case, it’s essential that the column names of the vDataFrame match the predictors and response name in the model.

Probabilities¶

It is also easy to get the model’s probabilities:

model.predict_proba(
    test,
    [
        "fixed_acidity",
        "volatile_acidity",
        "density",
        "pH",
    ],
    "prediction",
)

Rows: 1-100 | Columns: 18

Note

Probabilities are added to the vDataFrame, and VerticaPy uses the corresponding probability function in SQL behind the scenes. You can use the pos_label parameter to add only the probability of the selected category.

Confusion Matrix¶

You can obtain the confusion matrix of your choice by specifying the desired cutoff.

model.confusion_matrix(cutoff = 0.5)
Out[5]: 
array([[112,  59,  50],
       [ 40, 102,  65],
       [ 45,  50, 129]])

Hint

In the context of multi-class classification, you typically work with an overall confusion matrix that summarizes the classification efficiency across all classes. However, you have the flexibility to specify a pos_label and adjust the cutoff threshold. In this case, a binary confusion matrix is computed, where the chosen class is treated as the positive class, allowing you to evaluate its efficiency as if it were a binary classification problem.

model.confusion_matrix(pos_label = "5", cutoff = 0.6)
Out[6]: 
array([[374,  11],
       [183,  38]])

Note

In classification, the cutoff is a threshold value used to determine class assignment based on predicted probabilities or scores from a classification model. In binary classification, if the predicted probability for a specific class is greater than or equal to the cutoff, the instance is assigned to the positive class; otherwise, it is assigned to the negative class. Adjusting the cutoff allows for trade-offs between true positives and false positives, enabling the model to be optimized for specific objectives or to consider the relative costs of different classification errors. The choice of cutoff is critical for tailoring the model’s performance to meet specific needs.

Main Plots (Classification Curves)¶

Classification models allow for the creation of various plots that are very helpful in understanding the model, such as the ROC Curve, PRC Curve, Cutoff Curve, Gain Curve, and more.

Most of the classification curves can be found in the Machine Learning - Classification Curve.

For example, let’s draw the model’s ROC curve.

model.roc_curve(pos_label = "5")

Important

Most of the curves have a parameter called nbins, which is essential for estimating metrics. The larger the nbins, the more precise the estimation, but it can significantly impact performance. Exercise caution when increasing this parameter excessively.

Hint

In binary classification, various curves can be easily plotted. However, in multi-class classification, it’s important to select the pos_label, representing the class to be treated as positive when drawing the curve.

Other Plots¶

Contour plot is another useful plot that can be produced for models with two predictors.

model.contour(pos_label = "5")

Important

Machine learning models with two predictors can usually benefit from their own contour plot. This visual representation aids in exploring predictions and gaining a deeper understanding of how these models perform in different scenarios. Please refer to Contour Plot for more examples.

Parameter Modification¶

In order to see the parameters:

model.get_params()
Out[7]: {'n_neighbors': 10, 'p': 2}

And to manually change some of the parameters:

model.set_params({'n_neighbors': 8})

Model Register¶

As this model is not native, it does not support model management and versioning. However, it is possible to use the SQL code it generates for deployment.

Model Exporting¶

It is not possible to export this type of model, but you can still examine the SQL code generated by using the deploySQL() method.
