Regression Analysis#

This example uses the diabetes data from sklearn datasets and performs a regression analysis using a Ridge Regression model. We’ll use the julearn.PipelineCreator to create a pipeline with two different PCA steps and reduce the dimensionality of the data, each one computed on a different subset of features.

Load the diabetes data from sklearn as a pandas.DataFrame.

features, target = load_diabetes(return_X_y=True, as_frame=True)

Dataset contains ten variables age, sex, body mass index, average blood pressure, and six blood serum measurements (s1-s6) diabetes patients and a quantitative measure of disease progression one year after baseline which is the target we are interested in predicting.

print("Target: \n", target.describe())

Let’s combine features and target together in one dataframe and define X and y

data_diabetes = pd.concat([features, target], axis=1)

X = ["age", "sex", "bmi", "bp", "s1", "s2", "s3", "s4", "s5", "s6"]
y = "target"

Assign types to the features and create feature groups for PCA. We will keep 1 component per PCA group.

X_types = {
    "pca1": ["age", "bmi", "bp"],
    "pca2": ["s1", "s2", "s3", "s4", "s5", "s6"],
    "categorical": ["sex"],
}

Create a pipeline to process the data and the fit a model. We must specify how each X_type will be used. For example if in the last step we do not specify apply_to=["continuous", "categorical"], then the pipeline will not know what to do with the categorical features.

creator = PipelineCreator(problem_type="regression")
creator.add("pca", apply_to="pca1", n_components=1, name="pca_feats1")
creator.add("pca", apply_to="pca2", n_components=1, name="pca_feats2")
creator.add("ridge", apply_to=["continuous", "categorical"])

Split the dataset into train and test.

Train a ridge regression model on train dataset and use mean absolute error for scoring.

Let’s see how the data looks like after preprocessing. We will process the data until the first PCA step. We should get the first PCA component for [“age”, “bmi”, “bp”] and leave other features untouched.

data_processed1 = preprocess(model, X, data=train_diabetes, until="pca_feats1")
print("Data after preprocessing until PCA step 1")
data_processed1.head()

We will process the data until the second PCA step. We should now also get one PCA component for [“s1”, “s2”, “s3”, “s4”, “s5”, “s6”].

data_processed2 = preprocess(model, X, data=train_diabetes, until="pca_feats2")
print("Data after preprocessing until PCA step 2")
data_processed2.head()

Now we can get the MAE fold and repetition:

df_mae = scores.set_index(["repeat", "fold"])["test_score"].unstack() * -1
df_mae.index.name = "Repeats"
df_mae.columns.name = "K-fold splits"

print(df_mae)
K-fold splits         0         1         2         3         4
Repeats
0             -0.341472 -0.348168 -0.269257 -0.286067 -0.309025

Plot heatmap of mean absolute error (MAE) over all repeats and CV splits.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(10, 7))
sns.heatmap(df_mae, cmap="YlGnBu")
plt.title("Cross-validation MAE")

Text(0.5, 1.0, 'Cross-validation MAE')

Use the final model to make predictions on test data and plot scatterplot of true values vs predicted values.

y_true = test_diabetes[y]
y_pred = model.predict(test_diabetes[X])
mae = format(mean_absolute_error(y_true, y_pred), ".2f")
corr = format(np.corrcoef(y_pred, y_true)[1, 0], ".2f")

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(10, 7))
sns.set_style("darkgrid")
plt.scatter(y_true, y_pred)
plt.plot(y_true, y_true)
xmin, xmax = ax.get_xlim()
ymin, ymax = ax.get_ylim()
text = "MAE: " + str(mae) + "   CORR: " + str(corr)
ax.set(xlabel="True values", ylabel="Predicted values")
plt.title("Actual vs Predicted")
plt.text(

    ymax - 0.01 * ymax,
    text,
