Parameters which define the model architecture are referred to as hyperparameters and thus this process of searching for the ideal model architecture is referred to as hyperparameter tuning.

Hyperparameter tuning with GridSearchCV

# Import necessary modules
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV

# Setup the hyperparameter grid
c_space = np.logspace(-5, 8, 15)
param_grid = {'C': c_space}

# Instantiate a logistic regression classifier: logreg
logreg = LogisticRegression()

# Instantiate the GridSearchCV object: logreg_cv
logreg_cv = GridSearchCV(logreg, param_grid, cv=5)

# Fit it to the data
logreg_cv.fit(X,y)

# Print the tuned parameters and score
print("Tuned Logistic Regression Parameters: {}".format(logreg_cv.best_params_)) 
print("Best score is {}".format(logreg_cv.best_score_))

Hyperparameter tuning with RandomizedSearchCV

# Import necessary modules
from scipy.stats import randint
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
from sklearn.model_selection import RandomizedSearchCV

# Setup the parameters and distributions to sample from: param_dist
param_dist = {"max_depth": [3, None],
              "max_features": randint(1, 9),
              "min_samples_leaf": randint(1, 9),
              "criterion": ["gini", "entropy"]}

# Instantiate a Decision Tree classifier: tree
tree = DecisionTreeClassifier()

# Instantiate the RandomizedSearchCV object: tree_cv
tree_cv = RandomizedSearchCV(tree, param_dist, cv=5)

# Fit it to the data
tree_cv.fit(X, y)

# Print the tuned parameters and score
print("Tuned Decision Tree Parameters: {}".format(tree_cv.best_params_))
print("Best score is {}".format(tree_cv.best_score_))

Hyperparameter tuning for Classification

# Import necessary modules
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV

# Create the hyperparameter grid
c_space = np.logspace(-5, 8, 15)
param_grid = {'C': c_space, 'penalty': ['l1', 'l2']}

# Instantiate the logistic regression classifier: logreg
logreg = LogisticRegression()

# Create train and test sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.4, random_state=42)

# Instantiate the GridSearchCV object: logreg_cv
logreg_cv = GridSearchCV(logreg, param_grid, cv=5)

# Fit it to the training data
logreg_cv.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Print the optimal parameters and best score
print("Tuned Logistic Regression Parameter: {}".format(logreg_cv.best_params_))
print("Tuned Logistic Regression Accuracy: {}".format(logreg_cv.best_score_))

Hyperparameter tuning for Regression

# Import necessary modules
from sklearn.linear_model import ElasticNet
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV, train_test_split

# Create train and test sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X,y, random_state=42, test_size=0.4)

# Create the hyperparameter grid
l1_space = np.linspace(0, 1, 30)
param_grid = {'l1_ratio': l1_space}

# Instantiate the ElasticNet regressor: elastic_net
elastic_net = ElasticNet()

# Setup the GridSearchCV object: gm_cv
gm_cv = GridSearchCV(elastic_net, param_grid, cv=5)

# Fit it to the training data
gm_cv.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict on the test set and compute metrics
y_pred = gm_cv.predict(X_test)
r2 = gm_cv.score(X_test, y_test)
mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred)
print("Tuned ElasticNet l1 ratio: {}".format(gm_cv.best_params_))
print("Tuned ElasticNet R squared: {}".format(r2))
print("Tuned ElasticNet MSE: {}".format(mse))
