Analysis and model explainability functions in PyCaret

plot_model

This function analyzes the performance of a trained model on the hold-out set. It may require re-training the model in certain cases.

Example

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# plot model
plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc')
Output from plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc')

Change the scale

The resolution scale of the figure can be changed with scale parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# plot model
plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc', scale = 3)
Output from plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc', scale = 3)

Save the plot

You can save the plot as a png file using the save parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# plot model
plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc', save = True)
Output from plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc', save = True)

Customize the plot

PyCaret uses Yellowbrick for most of the plotting work. Any argument that is acceptable for Yellowbrick visualizers can be passed as plot_kwargs parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# plot model
plot_model(lr, plot = 'confusion_matrix', plot_kwargs = {'percent' : True})
Output from plot_model(lr, plot = 'confusion_matrix', plot_kwargs = {'percent' : True})
Before Customization
After Customization

Use train data

If you want to assess the model plot on the train data, you can pass use_train_data=True in the plot_model function.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# plot model
plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc', use_train_data = True)
Output from plot_model(lr, plot = 'auc', use_train_data = True)

evaluate_model

The evaluate_model displays a user interface for analyzing the performance of a trained model. It calls the plot_model function internally.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
juice = get_data('juice')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
exp_name = setup(data = juice, target = 'Purchase')
​
# create model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# launch evaluate widget
evaluate_model(lr)
Output from evaluate_model(lr)
NOTE: This function only works in Jupyter Notebook or an equivalent environment.

interpret_model

This function analyzes the predictions generated from a trained model. Most plots in this function are implemented based on the SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations). For more info on this, please see https://shap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/​

Example

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost)
Output from interpret_model(xgboost)

Save the plot

You can save the plot as a png file using the save parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, save = True)
NOTE: When save=True no plot is displayed in the Notebook.

Change plot type

There are a few different plot types available that can be changed by the plot parameter.

Correlation

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'correlation')
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'correlation')
By default, PyCaret uses the first feature in the dataset but that can be changed using feature parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'correlation', feature = 'Age (years)')
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'correlation', feature = 'Age (years)')

Partial Dependence Plot

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'pdp')
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'pdp')
By default, PyCaret uses the first available feature in the dataset but this can be changed using the feature parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'pdp', feature = 'Age (years)')
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'pdp', feature = 'Age (years)')

Morris Sensitivity Analysis

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'msa')
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'msa')

Permutation Feature Importance

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'pfi')
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'pfi')

Reason Plot

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'reason')
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'reason')
When you generate reason plot without passing the specific index of test data, you will get the interactive plot displayed with the ability to select the x and y-axis. This will only be possible if you are using Jupyter Notebook or an equivalent environment. If you want to see this plot for a specific observation, you will have to pass the index in the observation parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, plot = 'reason', observation = 1)
Here the observation = 1 means index 1 from the test set.

Use train data

By default, all the plots are generated on the test dataset. If you want to generate plots using a train data set (not recommended) you can use use_train_data parameter.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# creating a model
xgboost = create_model('xgboost')
​
# interpret model
interpret_model(xgboost, use_train_data = True)
Output from interpret_model(xgboost, use_train_data = True)

dashboard

The dashboard function generates the interactive dashboard for a trained model. The dashboard is implemented using ExplainerDashboard (explainerdashboard.readthedocs.io)

Dashboard Example

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
juice = get_data('juice')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
exp_name = setup(data = juice, target = 'Purchase')
​
# train model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# launch dashboard
dashboard(lr)
Dashboard (Classification Metrics)
Dashboard (Individual Predictions)
Dashboard (What-if analysis)

deep_check

This function runs a full suite check over a trained model using the deepchecks library.

Deep Check Example

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
juice = get_data('juice')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
exp_name = setup(data = juice, target = 'Purchase')
​
# train model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# deep check model
deep_check(lr)
Deep Check Dashboard (1/3) - Output truncated
Deep Check Dashboard (2/3) - Output truncated
Deep Check Dashboard (3/3) - Output truncated
This function is in experimental mode. deepchecks require scikit-learn>1.0 version, whereas pycaret requires scikit-learn==0.23.2. Hence after installing deepchecks you must uninstall scikit-learn and reinstall scikit-learn==0.23.2 otherwise you will get an error with pycaret. The future version of pycaret will be scikit-learn>1.0 compatible.

eda

This function generates automated Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using the AutoViz library. You must install Autoviz separately pip install autoviz to use this function.

EDA Example

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
juice = get_data('juice')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
exp_name = setup(data = juice, target = 'Purchase')
​
# launch eda
eda(display_format = 'bokeh')
Output with display_format = 'bokeh'
You can also run this function with display_format = 'svg'.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
juice = get_data('juice')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
exp_name = setup(data = juice, target = 'Purchase')
​
# launch eda
eda(display_format = 'svg')
Output with display_format = 'svg'

check_fairness

There are many approaches to conceptualizing fairness. The check_fairness function follows the approach known as group fairness, which asks: which groups of individuals are at risk for experiencing harm. check_fairness provides fairness-related metrics between different groups (also called sub-population).

Check Fairness Example

# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
income = get_data('income')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
exp_name = setup(data = income, target = 'income >50K')
​
# train model
lr = create_model('lr')
​
# check model fairness
lr_fairness = check_fairness(lr, sensitive_features = ['sex', 'race'])

get_leaderboard

This function returns the leaderboard of all models trained in the current setup.
# load dataset
from pycaret.datasets import get_data
diabetes = get_data('diabetes')
​
# init setup
from pycaret.classification import *
clf1 = setup(data = diabetes, target = 'Class variable')
​
# compare models
top3 = compare_models(n_select = 3)
​
# tune top 3 models
tuned_top3 = [tune_model(i) for i in top3]
​
# ensemble top 3 tuned models
ensembled_top3 = [ensemble_model(i) for i in tuned_top3]
​
# blender
blender = blend_models(tuned_top3)
​
# stacker
stacker = stack_models(tuned_top3)
​
# check leaderboard
get_leaderboard()
Output from get_leaderboard()
You can also access the trained Pipeline with this.
# check leaderboard
lb = get_leaderboard()
​
# select top model
lb.iloc[0]['Model']
Output from lb.iloc[0]['Model']
