DESCRIPTION
v.class.ml uses machine-learning algorithms to classify a vector maps based on the values of its attribute table. The module uses different machine-learning libraries available for python at the moment uses: scikit-learn (package name may be "python-scikit-learn") and MLPY, but should be possible to add easily other python libraries. The module is though to be use in a modular way, using the flags it is possible to define which independent tasks should be execute.Flags:
- -e
- Extract the training set from a vector map (vtraining).
- -n
- Store: attribute table data, columns names, categories training data, training index to a numpy binary files.
- -f
- Rank feature importances using a ExtraTreesClassifier algorithm.
- -b
- Balance the training using the class with the minor number of training samples or the parameter set in n_training.
- -o
- Optimize a balanced training dataset using the class with the minor number of training samples or the parameter set in n_training.
- -c
- Classify the whole dataset.
- -r
- Export machine-learning results to raster maps.
- -t
- Test several machine-learning algorithms on your dataset.
- -v
- Test also the bias variance.
- -x
- Compute also extra parameters to evaluate different algorithms like: confusion matrix, ROC, PR.
- -d
- Explore the Support Vector Classification (SVC) domain.
Input parameters:
The vector parameter is the input vector map. The input vector map must be prepared with v.category to copy the categories to all the layers that will be created.
The vtraining parameter is a vector input map that can be used to select the training areas. Currently only supervised classification is implemented so this parameter is mandatory. The training vector map can be generated using the GRASS standard tool for supervised classification g.gui.iclass.
The vlayer parameter is the layer name or number of the attribute tables with the data that must be used as input for the machine-learning algorithms.
The tlayer parameter is the layer name or number of the attribute tables where are or will be stored the training data for the machine-learning algorithms.
The rlayer parameter is the layer name or number the attribute tables where will be stored the machine-learning results.
The npy_data parameter is a string with the path to define where the binary numpy files containing the complete dataset will be saved.
The npy_cats parameter is a string with the path to define where the binary numpy files containing the vector categories will be saved.
The npy_cols parameter is a string with the path to define where the binary numpy files containing the column names of the data attribute table will be saved.
The npy_index parameter is a string with the path to define where the binary numpy files containing a boolean array to say if the category is used or not as training.
The npy_tdata parameter is a string with the path to define where the binary numpy files containing a training data array will be saved.
The npy_tclasses parameter is a string with the path to define where the binary numpy files containing the training classes will be saved.
The npy_btdata parameter as npy_tdata but only for a balance dataset.
The npy_btclasses parameter as npy_tclasses but only for a balance dataset.
The imp_csv parameter is a string with the path to define where a CSV file containing the rank of the feature importances should be save.
The imp_fig parameter is a string with the path to define where a figure file containing the rank of the feature importances should be save.
The scalar parameter is a string with scaler methods that will be apply to pre-process the data. Two main methods are available: with_mean, with_std. This is a quite common task therefore the default parameter apply both methods.
The decomposition parameter is a string with scaler methods that will be apply to pre-process the data. The main decomposition methods available are: PCA, KernelPCA, ProbabilisticPCA, RandomizedPCA, FastICA, TruncatedSVD. Each of this methods could take several parameters. Use "|" as separator between the decomposition method name and its options, using the "," to separate the options. For examples imagine that we want to decompose using the KernelPCA method with 10 number of components and using a linear kernel, so the correct string is: "KernelPCA|n_components=10,kernel=linear"
The n_training parameter is an integer with the number of training that must be use per class. Some machine-learning methods are sensitive if the training dataset is balanced or not. As default all the training will be used.
The pyclassifiers parameter is a file path to a python file containing a list of dictionary to define classifiers class and options. See an example of the default classifiers used by the v.class.ml module.
The pyvar parameter is a string with the python variable name defined in the pyclassifiers file.
The pyindx parameter is a string with the indexes of the classifiers that will be used. In the string you could define a range using the minus character, or list the index usig the comma as separator, or combine both options together. For example: '1-5,34-36,40' it means that only classifiers with index: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 34, 35, 36 and 40 will be used.
The pyindx_optimize parameter is a integer with the classifier index that will be used to optimize a balance training dataset. This option is used only if optimize is true otherwise will be ignored.
The nan parameter is a string that allows user to define for each column in the attribute table which value or function should be used to substitute NaN values. The syntax could be: 'col0:9999,col1:9999'. The column name could be also a pattern, so it is possible to define a rule like: '*_mean:nanmean,*_max:nanmax' that substitute in all the columns that finish with '_mean' the mean value of the column and for column that end with '_max' the maximum value. This operation is needed because machine-learning algorithms are not able to handle nan, inf, neginf, and posinf values.
The inf parameter is similar to nan, but instead of substituting nan values the rules will be applied for infinite values.
The neginf parameter is similar to nan, but instead of substituting nan values the rules will be applied for negative infinite values.
The posinf parameter is similar to nan, but instead of substituting nan values the rules will be applied for positive infinite values.
The csv_test_cls parameter is the file name/path where the results of the classification test will be written.
The report_class parameter is the file name/path where a summary for each machine learning algorithms will be written.
The svc_c_range parameter is a range of C values that will be used when exploring the domain of the Support Vector Machine algorithms.
The svc_gamma_range parameter is a range of gamma values that will be used when exploring the domain of the Support Vector Machine algorithms.
The svc_kernel_range parameter is a range of kernel values that will be used when exploring the domain of the Support Vector Machine algorithms.
The svc_n_jobs parameter is an integer with the number of process that will be used during the domain exploration of Support Vector Machine algorithms.
The svc_img parameter is the file name/path pattern of the image that will be generated from the domain exploration.
The svc_c parameter is the definitive C value that will be used for final classification.
The svc_gamma parameter is the definitive gamma value that will be used for final classification.
The svc_kernel parameter is the definitive kernel value that will be used for final classification.
The rst_names parameter is the name pattern that will be use to generate the output raster map for each algorithm.
