verticapy.machine_learning.vertica.tree.DecisionTreeRegressor¶

class verticapy.machine_learning.vertica.tree.DecisionTreeRegressor(name: str = None, overwrite_model: bool = False, max_features: Literal['auto', 'max'] | int = 'auto', max_leaf_nodes: Annotated[int | float | Decimal, 'Python Numbers'] = 1000000000.0, max_depth: int = 100, min_samples_leaf: int = 1, min_info_gain: Annotated[int | float | Decimal, 'Python Numbers'] = 0.0, nbins: int = 32)¶

A DecisionTreeRegressor consisting of a single tree.

Parameters¶

name: str, optional

Name of the model. The model is stored in the database.

overwrite_model: bool, optional

If set to True, training a model with the same name as an existing model overwrites the existing model.

max_features: str / int, optional

The number of randomly chosen features from which to pick the best feature to split on a given tree node. It can be an integer or one of the two following methods:

auto:
square root of the total number of predictors.
max:
number of predictors.

max_leaf_nodes: PythonNumber, optional

The maximum number of leaf nodes for a tree in the forest, an integer between 1 and 1e9, inclusive.

max_depth: int, optional

The maximum depth for growing each tree, an integer between 1 and 100, inclusive.

min_samples_leaf: int, optional

The minimum number of samples each branch must have after a node is split, an integer between 1 and 1e6, inclusive. Any split that results in fewer remaining samples is discarded.

min_info_gain: PythonNumber, optional

The minimum threshold for including a split, a float between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive. A split with information gain less than this threshold is discarded.

nbins: int, optional

The number of bins to use for continuous features, an integer between 2 and 1000, inclusive.

Attributes¶

Many attributes are created during the fitting phase.

trees_: list of one BinaryTreeRegressor: One tree model which is instance of BinaryTreeRegressor. It possess various attributes. For more detailed information, refer to the documentation for BinaryTreeRegressor().
features_importance_: numpy.array: The importance of features. It is calculated using the MDI (Mean Decreased Impurity). To determine the final score, VerticaPy sums the scores of each tree, normalizes them and applies an activation function to scale them. It is necessary to use the features_importance() method to compute it initially, and the computed values will be subsequently utilized for subsequent calls.

Note

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

Note

Several other attributes can be accessed by using the get_vertica_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.

Important

Many tree-based models inherit from the RandomForest base class, and it’s recommended to use it directly for access to a wider range of options.

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.

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.

data = vpd.load_winequality()
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.

Model Initialization¶

First we import the DecisionTreeRegressor model:

from verticapy.machine_learning.vertica import DecisionTreeRegressor

Then we can create the model:

model = DecisionTreeRegressor(
    max_features = "auto",
    max_leaf_nodes = 32,
    max_depth = 3,
    min_samples_leaf = 5,
    min_info_gain = 0.0,
    nbins = 32
)

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.

Important

The model name is crucial for the model management system and versioning. It’s highly recommended to provide a name if you plan to reuse the model later.

Model Training¶

We can now fit the model:

model.fit(
    train,
    [
        "fixed_acidity",
        "volatile_acidity",
        "citric_acid",
        "residual_sugar",
        "chlorides",
        "density"
    ],
    "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.

Features Importance¶

We can conveniently get the features importance:

result = model.features_importance()

Note

In models such as RandomForest, feature importance is calculated using the MDI (Mean Decreased Impurity). To determine the final score, VerticaPy sums the scores of each tree, normalizes them and applies an activation function to scale them.

Metrics¶

We can get the entire report using:

model.report()

	value
explained_variance	0.169255958366399
max_error	3.52
median_absolute_error	0.505729945191833
mean_absolute_error	0.643400669026207
mean_squared_error	0.644441390563995
root_mean_squared_error	0.802771069834978

aic	-559.657259173879
bic	-523.595976370202

Rows: 1-10 | Columns: 2

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 = ["mse", "r2"]).

You can utilize the score() function to calculate various regression metrics, with the R-squared being the default.

model.score()

Prediction¶

Prediction is straight-forward:

model.predict(
    test,
    [
        "fixed_acidity",
        "volatile_acidity",
        "citric_acid",
        "residual_sugar",
        "chlorides",
        "density"
    ],
    "prediction",

Rows: 1-100 | Columns: 15

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.

Plots¶

Tree models can be visualized by drawing their tree plots. For more examples, check out Machine Learning - Tree Plots.

model.plot_tree()

../_images/machine_learning_vertica_tree_decision.png

Note

The above example may not render properly in the doc because of the huge size of the tree. But it should render nicely in jupyter environment.

In order to plot graph using graphviz separately, you can extract the graphviz DOT file code as follows:

model.to_graphviz()
Out[5]: 'digraph Tree {\ngraph [bgcolor="#FFFFFFDD"];\n0 [label="\\"density\\"", shape="box", style="filled", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", color="#000000"]\n0 -> 1 [label="<= 0.991991", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n0 -> 2 [label="> 0.991991", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n1 [label="\\"density\\"", shape="box", style="filled", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", color="#000000"]\n1 -> 3 [label="<= 0.990371", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n1 -> 4 [label="> 0.990371", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n2 [label="\\"density\\"", shape="box", style="filled", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", color="#000000"]\n2 -> 5 [label="<= 0.995232", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n2 -> 6 [label="> 0.995232", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n3 [label="\\"residual_sugar\\"", shape="box", style="filled", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", color="#000000"]\n3 -> 7 [label="<= 2.6375", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n3 -> 8 [label="> 2.6375", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n4 [label="\\"residual_sugar\\"", shape="box", style="filled", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", color="#000000"]\n4 -> 9 [label="<= 2.6375", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n4 -> 10 [label="> 2.6375", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n5 [label="\\"residual_sugar\\"", shape="box", style="filled", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", color="#000000"]\n5 -> 11 [label="<= 6.7125", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n5 -> 12 [label="> 6.7125", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n6 [label="\\"volatile_acidity\\"", shape="box", style="filled", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", color="#000000"]\n6 -> 13 [label="<= 0.220625", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n6 -> 14 [label="> 0.220625", color="#000000", fontcolor="#000000"]\n7 [label="6.385714", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n8 [label="6.798319", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n9 [label="6.146993", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n10 [label="6.52", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n11 [label="5.751693", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n12 [label="6.144772", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n13 [label="6.0625", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n14 [label="5.49427", fillcolor="#FFFFFFDD", fontcolor="#000000", shape="none", color="#000000"]\n}'

This string can then be copied into a DOT file which can beparsed by graphviz.

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

model.contour()

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.

Model Register¶

In order to register the model for tracking and versioning:

model.register("model_v1")

Please refer to Model Tracking and Versioning for more details on model tracking and versioning.

Model Exporting¶

To Memmodel

model.to_memmodel()

Note

MemModel objects serve as in-memory representations of machine learning models. They can be used for both in-database and in-memory prediction tasks. These objects can be pickled in the same way that you would pickle a scikit-learn model.

The following methods for exporting the model use MemModel, and it is recommended to use MemModel directly.

To SQL

You can get the SQL code by:

model.to_sql()
Out[6]: '(CASE WHEN "density" < 0.991991 THEN (CASE WHEN "density" < 0.990371 THEN (CASE WHEN "residual_sugar" < 2.6375 THEN 6.385714 ELSE 6.798319 END) ELSE (CASE WHEN "residual_sugar" < 2.6375 THEN 6.146993 ELSE 6.52 END) END) ELSE (CASE WHEN "density" < 0.995232 THEN (CASE WHEN "residual_sugar" < 6.7125 THEN 5.751693 ELSE 6.144772 END) ELSE (CASE WHEN "volatile_acidity" < 0.220625 THEN 6.0625 ELSE 5.49427 END) END) END)'

To Python

To obtain the prediction function in Python syntax, use the following code:

X = [[4.2, 0.17, 0.36, 1.8, 0.029, 0.9899]]

model.to_python()(X)
Out[8]: array([6.385714])

Hint

The to_python() method is used to retrieve predictions, probabilities, or cluster distances. For specific details on how to use this method for different model types, refer to the relevant documentation for each model.
