- class mlquantify.meta.AggregativeBootstrap(quantifier, n_train_bootstraps=1, n_test_bootstraps=1, random_state=None, region_type='intervals', confidence_level=0.95)[source]#
Aggregative Bootstrap Quantifier for prevalence confidence regions.
Wraps any aggregative quantifier and applies bootstrap resampling to both training and test predictions to produce a distribution of prevalence estimates. The distribution is summarised as a point estimate together with a confidence region (intervals, ellipse, or CLR-ellipse).
- Parameters:
- quantifierBaseQuantifier
The base aggregative quantifier to wrap.
- n_train_bootstrapsint, default=1
Number of bootstrap resamples from the training predictions.
- n_test_bootstrapsint, default=1
Number of bootstrap resamples from the test predictions.
- random_stateint or None, default=None
Random seed for reproducibility.
- region_type{‘intervals’, ‘ellipse’, ‘ellipse-clr’}, default=’intervals’
Type of confidence region to construct.
- confidence_levelfloat, default=0.95
Confidence level for the region.
- Attributes:
- train_predictionsndarray
Predictions on the training (or validation) set.
- y_trainndarray
Labels corresponding to
train_predictions.- classesndarray of shape (n_classes,)
Class labels seen during
fit.

- aggregate(predictions, train_predictions, y_train)[source]#
Aggregate predictions via bootstrap resampling into a prevalence estimate.
Resamples both the training and test predictions
n_train_bootstraps × n_test_bootstrapstimes, calls the base quantifier’saggregatemethod on each combination, and summarises the resulting distribution as a point estimate with a confidence region.- Parameters:
- predictionsndarray of shape (n_test_samples, n_classes)
Soft predictions on the test set (e.g. posterior probabilities).
- train_predictionsndarray of shape (n_train_samples, n_classes)
Soft predictions stored from the training (or validation) set.
- y_trainndarray of shape (n_train_samples,)
Class labels corresponding to
train_predictions.
- Returns:
- prevalencesdict or ndarray of shape (n_classes,)
Point prevalence estimate extracted from the centre of the bootstrap confidence region.

>>> from mlquantify.meta import AggregativeBootstrap >>> from mlquantify.likelihood import EMQ >>> from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression >>> from sklearn.datasets import make_classification >>> import numpy as np >>> X, y = make_classification(n_samples=200, random_state=42) >>> lr = LogisticRegression().fit(X, y) >>> train_preds = lr.predict_proba(X) >>> q = AggregativeBootstrap(EMQ(lr), n_train_bootstraps=5, ... n_test_bootstraps=5).fit(X, y) >>> q.aggregate(train_preds, train_preds, y) {0: 0.49, 1: 0.51}
- fit(X, y, val_split=None)[source]#
Fit the base classifier and store predictions for bootstrap resampling.
Trains only the base classifier (not the full aggregative quantifier), then stores the resulting soft predictions for later use in
aggregate. Optionally holds out a validation split so the stored predictions come from unseen data.- Parameters:
- Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)
Training feature matrix.
- yarray-like of shape (n_samples,)
Training class labels.
- val_splitfloat or None, default=None
If given, the fraction of data held out as a validation set whose predictions are stored.
Noneuses the full training set.
- Returns:
- selfAggregativeBootstrap
The fitted quantifier.
- Raises:
- ValueError
If the wrapped quantifier is not an aggregative quantifier.

- get_metadata_routing()[source]#
Get metadata routing of this object.
Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.
- Returns:
- routingMetadataRequest
A
MetadataRequestencapsulating routing information.
- get_params(deep=True)[source]#
Get parameters for this estimator.
- Parameters:
- deepbool, default=True
If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
- Returns:
- paramsdict
Parameter names mapped to their values.
- predict(X)[source]#
Predict class prevalences with bootstrap-derived confidence estimation.
Generates classifier predictions for
Xand delegates toaggregatewith the stored training predictions to produce a bootstrap-based prevalence estimate.- Parameters:
- Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features)
Test feature matrix.
- Returns:
- prevalencesdict or ndarray of shape (n_classes,)
Point prevalence estimate extracted from the bootstrap distribution.

- set_fit_request(*, val_split: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') AggregativeBootstrap[source]#
Configure whether metadata should be requested to be passed to the
fitmethod.Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with
enable_metadata_routing=True(seesklearn.set_config). Please check the User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.The options for each parameter are:
True: metadata is requested, and passed tofitif provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it tofit.None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.
The default (
sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.Added in version 1.3.
- Parameters:
- val_splitstr, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED
Metadata routing for
val_splitparameter infit.
- Returns:
- selfobject
The updated object.
- set_params(**params)[source]#
Set the parameters of this estimator.
The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as
Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form<component>__<parameter>so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.- Parameters:
- **paramsdict
Estimator parameters.
- Returns:
- selfestimator instance
Estimator instance.
