如何解释 h2o.predict() 结果的概率 (p0, p1)

How to interpret the probabilities (p0, p1) of the result of h2o.predict()

我想了解h2o.predict() function from H2o R-package. I realized that in some cases when the predict column is 1, the p1 column has a lower value than the column p0. My interpretation of p0 and p1 columns refer to the probabilities for each event, so I expected when predict=1 the probability of p1 should be higher than the probability of the opposite event (p0), but it doesn't occur always as I can show in the following example: using prostate dataset的值(结果)的含义。

这里是executable例子:

library(h2o)
h2o.init(max_mem_size = "12g", nthreads = -1)
prostate.hex <- h2o.importFile("https://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/prostate/prostate.csv")
prostate.hex$CAPSULE  <- as.factor(prostate.hex$CAPSULE)
prostate.hex$RACE     <- as.factor(prostate.hex$RACE)
prostate.hex$DCAPS    <- as.factor(prostate.hex$DCAPS)
prostate.hex$DPROS    <- as.factor(prostate.hex$DPROS)

prostate.hex.split = h2o.splitFrame(data = prostate.hex,
  ratios = c(0.70, 0.20, 0.10), seed = 1234)
train.hex     <- prostate.hex.split[[1]]
validate.hex  <- prostate.hex.split[[2]]
test.hex      <- prostate.hex.split[[3]]

fit <- h2o.glm(y = "CAPSULE", x = c("AGE", "RACE", "PSA", "DCAPS"),
  training_frame = train.hex,
  validation_frame = validate.hex,
  family = "binomial", nfolds = 0, alpha = 0.5)

prostate.predict = h2o.predict(object = fit, newdata = test.hex)
result <- as.data.frame(prostate.predict)
subset(result, predict == 1 & p1 < 0.4)

我得到以下 subset 函数结果的输出:

   predict        p0        p1
11       1 0.6355974 0.3644026
17       1 0.6153021 0.3846979
23       1 0.6289063 0.3710937
25       1 0.6007919 0.3992081
31       1 0.6239587 0.3760413

对于来自 test.hex 数据集的所有上述观察结果,预测为 1,但 p0 > p1.

predict=1p1 < p0 的总观测值是:

>   nrow(subset(result, predict == 1 & p1 < p0))
[1] 14

相反,没有 predict=0 其中 p0 < p1

>   nrow(subset(result, predict == 0 & p0 < p1))
[1] 0

这里是 table for table 的信息 predict:

> table(result$predict)

 0  1 
18 23 

我们使用具有以下值的 CAPSULE 作为决策变量:

> levels(as.data.frame(prostate.hex)$CAPSULE)
[1] "0" "1"

有什么建议吗?

注意: 类似主题的问题:没有解决这个具体问题。

您所描述的是阈值 0.5。事实上,将使用一个不同的阈值,一个最大化特定指标的阈值。默认指标为 F1 (*);如果您打印模型信息,您可以找到用于每个指标的阈值。

查看问题: 了解更多信息(您的问题不同,这就是我没有将其标记为重复的原因)。

据我所知,您无法将 F1 默认值更改为 h2o.predict()h2o.performance()。但是您可以使用 h2o.confusionMatrix()

给定您的模型 fit,并改用最大 F2:

h2o.confusionMatrix(fit, metrics = "f2")

您也可以直接使用 h2o.predict() "p0" 列,使用您自己的阈值,而不是 "predict" 列。 (这就是我以前所做的。)

*:定义在这里:https://github.com/h2oai/h2o-3/blob/fdde85e41bad5f31b6b841b300ce23cfb2d8c0b0/h2o-core/src/main/java/hex/AUC2.java#L34该文件还显示了每个指标的计算方式。

似乎(另见 here)在 validation 数据集上最大化 F1 score 的阈值被用作 classification 的默认阈值 h2o.glm()。我们可以观察到以下情况:

  1. 在验证数据集上最大化 F1 score 的阈值是 0.363477
  2. 预测 p1 概率小于此阈值的所有数据点被 class 化为 0 class(预测为 0 的数据点class 的概率最高 p1 = 0.3602365 < 0.363477)。
  3. 所有预测 p1 概率大于此阈值的数据点被 class 化为 1 class(预测为1 class 的概率最低 p1 = 0.3644026 > 0.363477)。
