Methods Documentation

clear(param)#: Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)#

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.

Parameters

extradict, optional: Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns

JavaParams: Copy of this instance

explainParam(param)#: Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()#: Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)#

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra param values

Returns

dict: merged param map

Attributes Documentation

cacheNodeIds = Param(parent='undefined', name='cacheNodeIds', doc='If false, the algorithm will pass trees to executors to match instances with nodes. If true, the algorithm will cache node IDs for each instance. Caching can speed up training of deeper trees. Users can set how often should the cache be checkpointed or disable it by setting checkpointInterval.')#

checkpointInterval = Param(parent='undefined', name='checkpointInterval', doc='set checkpoint interval (>= 1) or disable checkpoint (-1). E.g. 10 means that the cache will get checkpointed every 10 iterations. Note: this setting will be ignored if the checkpoint directory is not set in the SparkContext.')#

depth#: Return depth of the decision tree.

New in version 1.5.0.

featureImportances#

Estimate of the importance of each feature.

This generalizes the idea of “Gini” importance to other losses, following the explanation of Gini importance from “Random Forests” documentation by Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler, and following the implementation from scikit-learn.

This feature importance is calculated as follows:

importance(feature j) = sum (over nodes which split on feature j) of the gain, where gain is scaled by the number of instances passing through node
Normalize importances for tree to sum to 1.

New in version 2.0.0.

Notes

Feature importance for single decision trees can have high variance due to correlated predictor variables. Consider using a RandomForestClassifier to determine feature importance instead.
