Preliminaries
# Load libraries
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
import numpy as np
from sklearn import datasets
Load Iris Flower Dataset
# Load data
iris = datasets.load_iris()
X = iris.data
y = iris.target
Adjust Iris Dataset To Make Classes Imbalanced
# Make class highly imbalanced by removing first 40 observations
X = X[40:,:]
y = y[40:]
# Create target vector indicating if class 0, otherwise 1
y = np.where((y == 0), 0, 1)
Train Random Forest While Balancing Classes
When using RandomForestClassifier
a useful setting is class_weight=balanced
wherein classes are automatically weighted inversely proportional to how frequently they appear in the data. Specifically:
wj=n/knj
where wj is the weight to class j, nn is the number of observations, nj is the number of observations in class j, and k is the total number of classes.
# Create decision tree classifer object
clf = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=0, n_jobs=-1, class_weight="balanced")
# Train model
model = clf.fit(X, y)
