Feature Importance in Decision Tree

In scikit-learn, the feature_importances_ attribute is associated with tree-based models, such as Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Gradient Boosted Trees. This attribute provides a way to assess the importance of each feature (or variable) in making predictions with the trained model. When you train a tree-based model, the algorithm makes decisions at each node based…

Visualizing the Decision Tree

To visualize a decision tree in scikit-learn, you can use the plot_tree function from the sklearn.tree module. This function allows you to generate a visual representation of the decision tree. Here’s a simple example: To show the decision tree as text in scikit-learn, you can use the export_text function from the sklearn.tree module. This function…

Get a random sample from your dataset

To grab random sample from a dataset in Python, you can use the pandas library. Assuming your dataset is stored in a pandas DataFrame, you can use the sample method to randomly select rows. Here’s an example: In this example, n=5 specifies the number of rows to sample, and random_state is set to ensure reproducibility.
