如何使用pyspark mllib RegressionMetrics进行实际预测

Question

使用pyspark 1.4我试图使用RegressionMetrics()进行LinearRegressionWithSGD生成的预测.

在pyspark mllib文档中给出的RegressionMetrics()的所有示例都用于"人工"预测和观察

predictionAndObservations = sc.parallelize([ (2.5, 3.0), (0.0, -0.5), (2.0, 2.0), (8.0, 7.0)])

对于这样的"人工"(用sc.parallelize生成)RDD一切正常.但是,当用另一种方式生成的另一个RDD做同样的事情时,我得到了

TypeError: DoubleType can not accept object in type <type 'numpy.float64'>

简短可重复的例子如下.

可能是什么问题？

from pyspark.mllib.regression import LabeledPoint
from pyspark.mllib.regression import LinearRegressionWithSGD, LinearRegressionModel
from pyspark.mllib.evaluation import RegressionMetrics

dataRDD = sc.parallelize([LabeledPoint(1, [1,1]), LabeledPoint(2, [2,2]), LabeledPoint(3, [3,3])])
lrModel = LinearRegressionWithSGD.train(dataRDD)
prediObserRDD = dataRDD.map(lambda p: (lrModel.predict(p.features), p.label)).cache()

让我们检查RDD确实是(预测,观察)对

prediObserRDD.take(4) # looks OK

现在尝试计算指标

metrics = RegressionMetrics(prediObserRDD)

它给出以下错误

使用BinaryClassificationMetrics也会出现相同的问题(对于另一个数据集和分类任务).

Answer 1

就像错误说的那样 TypeError: DoubleType can not accept object in type <type 'numpy.float64'>

您正在尝试将a numpy.float64转换为无法完成的Double.

要解决该TypeError,您必须将您的值转换为可接受的Type.

示例:

from pyspark.mllib.regression import LabeledPoint
from pyspark.mllib.regression import LinearRegressionWithSGD, LinearRegressionModel
from pyspark.mllib.evaluation import RegressionMetrics

dataRDD = sc.parallelize([LabeledPoint(1, [1,1]), LabeledPoint(2, [2,2]), LabeledPoint(3, [3,3])])
lrModel = LinearRegressionWithSGD.train(dataRDD)
prediObserRDD = dataRDD.map(lambda p: (float(lrModel.predict(p.features)), p.label)).cache()

如果您已经注意到,我已使用Python内置float函数将预测标签转换为double .

现在您可以计算指标:

>>> metrics = RegressionMetrics(prediObserRDD)
>>> metrics.explainedVariance
1.0
