Practical Machine Learning with R and Python – Part 2

1a. Logistic Regression – R code

The caret and e1071 package is required for using the confusionMatrix call

library(dplyr)
library(caret)
library(e1071)
# Read the data (from sklearn)
cancer <- read.csv("cancer.csv")
# Rename the target variable
names(cancer) <- c(seq(1,30),"output")
# Split as training and test sets
train_idx <- trainTestSplit(cancer,trainPercent=75,seed=5)
train <- cancer[train_idx, ]
test <- cancer[-train_idx, ]

# Fit a generalized linear logistic model, 
fit=glm(output~.,family=binomial,data=train,control = list(maxit = 50))
# Predict the output from the model
a=predict(fit,newdata=train,type="response")
# Set response >0.5 as 1 and <=0.5 as 0
b=ifelse(a>0.5,1,0)
# Compute the confusion matrix for training data
confusionMatrix(b,train$output)

2. Dummy variables

The following R and Python code show how dummy variables are handled in R and Python. Dummy variables are categorival variables which have to be converted into appropriate values before using them in Machine Learning Model For e.g. if we had currency as ‘dollar’, ‘rupee’ and ‘yen’ then the dummy variable will convert this as
dollar 0 0 0
rupee 0 0 1
yen 0 1 0

2a. Logistic Regression with dummy variables- R code

# Load the dummies library
library(dummies) 
df <- read.csv("adult1.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE,na.strings = c(""," "," ?"))

# Remove rows which have NA
df1 <- df[complete.cases(df),]
dim(df1)
## [1] 30161    16
# Select specific columns
adult <- df1 %>% dplyr::select(age,occupation,education,educationNum,capitalGain,
                               capital.loss,hours.per.week,native.country,salary)
# Set the dummy data with appropriate values
adult1 <- dummy.data.frame(adult, sep = ".")

#Split as training and test
train_idx <- trainTestSplit(adult1,trainPercent=75,seed=1111)
train <- adult1[train_idx, ]
test <- adult1[-train_idx, ]

# Fit a binomial logistic regression
fit=glm(salary~.,family=binomial,data=train)
# Predict response
a=predict(fit,newdata=train,type="response")
# If response >0.5 then it is a 1 and 0 otherwise
b=ifelse(a>0.5,1,0)
confusionMatrix(b,train$salary)

5 K Fold Cross Validation

K Fold Cross Validation is a technique in which the data set is divided into K Folds or K partitions. The Machine Learning model is trained on K-1 folds and tested on the Kth fold i.e.
we will have K-1 folds for training data and 1 for testing the ML model. Since we can partition this as or K choose 1, there will be K such partitions. The K Fold Cross
Validation estimates the average validation error that we can expect on a new unseen test data.

The formula for K Fold Cross validation is as follows

and

and

where is the number of elements in partition ‘K’ and N is the total number of elements

Leave Out one Cross Validation (LOOCV) is a special case of K Fold Cross Validation where N-1 data points are used to train the model and 1 data point is used to test the model. There are N such paritions of N-1 & 1 that are possible. The mean error is measured The Cross Valifation Error for LOOCV is

where is the diagonal hat matrix

see [Statistical Learning]

The above formula is also included in this blog post

It took me a day and a half to implement the K Fold Cross Validation formula. I think it is correct. In any case do let me know if you think it is off

5a. Leave out one cross validation (LOOCV) – R Code

R uses the package ‘boot’ for performing Cross Validation error computation

library(boot)
library(reshape2)
# Read data
df=read.csv("auto_mpg.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE) # Data from UCI
df1 <- as.data.frame(sapply(df,as.numeric))
# Select complete cases
df2 <- df1 %>% dplyr::select(cylinder,displacement, horsepower,weight, acceleration, year,mpg)
df3 <- df2[complete.cases(df2),]
set.seed(17)
cv.error=rep(0,10)
# For polynomials 1,2,3... 10 fit a LOOCV model
for (i in 1:10){
    glm.fit=glm(mpg~poly(horsepower,i),data=df3)
    cv.error[i]=cv.glm(df3,glm.fit)$delta[1]
    
}

    xlab("Degree of Polynomial") + ylab("Cross Validation Error") +
    ggtitle("Leave one out Cross Validation - Cross Validation Error vs Degree of Polynomial")

5b. Leave out one cross validation (LOOCV) – Python Code

In Python there is no available function to compute Cross Validation error and we have to compute the above formula. I have done this after several hours. I think it is now in reasonable shape. Do let me know if you think otherwise. For LOOCV I use the K Fold Cross Validation with K=N

6a K Fold Cross Validation – R code

Here K Fold Cross Validation is done for 4, 5 and 10 folds using the R package boot and the glm package

library(boot)
library(reshape2)
set.seed(17)
#Read data
df=read.csv("auto_mpg.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE) # Data from UCI
df1 <- as.data.frame(sapply(df,as.numeric))
df2 <- df1 %>% dplyr::select(cylinder,displacement, horsepower,weight, acceleration, year,mpg)
df3 <- df2[complete.cases(df2),]
a=matrix(rep(0,30),nrow=3,ncol=10)
set.seed(17)
# Set the folds as 4,5 and 10
folds<-c(4,5,10)
for(i in seq_along(folds)){
    cv.error.10=rep(0,10)
    for (j in 1:10){
        # Fit a generalized linear model
        glm.fit=glm(mpg~poly(horsepower,j),data=df3)
        # Compute K Fold Validation error
        a[i,j]=cv.glm(df3,glm.fit,K=folds[i])$delta[1]
        
    }
    
}

# Create and display the K Fold Cross Validation Error
b <- t(a)
df <- data.frame(b)
df1 <- cbind(seq(1,10),df)
names(df1) <- c("PolynomialDegree","4-fold","5-fold","10-fold")

df2 <- melt(df1,id="PolynomialDegree")
ggplot(df2) + geom_line(aes(x=PolynomialDegree, y=value, colour=variable),size=2) +
    xlab("Degree of Polynomial") + ylab("Cross Validation Error") +
    ggtitle("K Fold Cross Validation - Cross Validation Error vs Degree of Polynomial")

6b. K Fold Cross Validation – Python code

The implementation of K-Fold Cross Validation Error has to be implemented and I have done this below. There is a small discrepancy in the shapes of the curves with the R plot above. Not sure why!

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import os
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split, KFold
from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
# Read data
autoDF =pd.read_csv("auto_mpg.csv",encoding="ISO-8859-1")
autoDF.shape
autoDF.columns
autoDF1=autoDF[['mpg','cylinder','displacement','horsepower','weight','acceleration','year']]
autoDF2 = autoDF1.apply(pd.to_numeric, errors='coerce')
# Drop NA rows
autoDF3=autoDF2.dropna()
autoDF3.shape
#X=autoDF3[['cylinder','displacement','horsepower','weight']]
X=autoDF3[['horsepower']]
y=autoDF3['mpg']

# Create Cross Validation function
def computeCVError(X,y,folds):
    deg=[]
    mse=[]
    # For degree 1,2,3,..10
    degree1=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
    
    nK=len(X)/float(folds)
    xval_err=0
    for j in degree1: 
        # Split the data into 'folds'
        kf = KFold(len(X),n_folds=folds)
        for train_index, test_index in kf:
            # Partition the data acccording the fold indices generated
            X_train, X_test = X.iloc[train_index], X.iloc[test_index]
            y_train, y_test = y.iloc[train_index], y.iloc[test_index]  

            # Scale the X_train and X_test as per the polynomial degree 'j'
            poly = PolynomialFeatures(degree=j)             
            X_train_poly = poly.fit_transform(X_train)
            X_test_poly = poly.fit_transform(X_test)
            # Fit a polynomial regression
            linreg = LinearRegression().fit(X_train_poly, y_train)
            # Compute yhat or ypred
            y_pred = linreg.predict(X_test_poly)  
            # Compute MSE *(nK/N)
            test_mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred)*float(len(X_train))/float(len(X))  
            # Append to list for different folds
            mse.append(test_mse)
        # Compute the mean for poylnomial 'j' 
        deg.append(np.mean(mse))
        
    return(deg)

# Create and display a plot of K -Folds
df=pd.DataFrame()
for folds in [4,5,10]:
    cvError=computeCVError(X,y,folds)
    #print(cvError)
    df1=pd.DataFrame(cvError)
    df=pd.concat([df,df1],axis=1)
    #print(cvError)
    
df.columns=['4-fold','5-fold','10-fold']
df=df.reindex([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10])
df
fig2=df.plot()
fig2=plt.title("K Fold Cross Validation - Cross Validation Error vs Degree of Polynomial")
fig2=plt.xlabel("Degree of Polynomial")
fig2=plt.ylabel("Cross validation Error")
fig2.figure.savefig('foo2.png', bbox_inches='tight')

This concludes this 2nd part of this series. I will look into model tuning and model selection in R and Python in the coming parts. Comments, suggestions and corrections are welcome!
