PS-Tree



An open source python library for non-linear piecewise symbolic regression based on Genetic Programming

Introduction
Piece-wise non-linear regression is a long-standing problem in the machine learning domain that has long plagued machine learning researchers. It is extremely difficult for users to determine the correct partition scheme and non-linear model when there is no prior information. To address this issue, we proposed piece-wise non-linear regression tree (PS-Tree), an automated piece-wise non-linear regression method based on decision tree and genetic programming techniques. Based on such an algorithm framework, our method can produce an explainable model with high accuracy in a short period of time.


Installation
pip install -U pstree


Features

A fully automated piece-wise non-linear regression tool
A fast genetic programming based symbolic regression tool



Example
An example of usage:
X, y = load_diabetes(return_X_y=True)
x_train, x_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=0)
r = PSTreeRegressor(regr_class=GPRegressor, tree_class=DecisionTreeRegressor,
height_limit=6, n_pop=25, n_gen=100,
basic_primitive='optimal', size_objective=True)
r.fit(x_train, y_train)
print(r2_score(y_test, r.predict(x_test)))

By the way, I would like to express my gratitude to Qi-Hao Huang from Guangzhou University for pointing out that the “minimize” in formula (4) of the paper should be “maximize”, corresponding to the code.
