class evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.samplers.oversampler.Oversampler(sampling_ratio=0.25, sampling_ratio_dict=None, k_neighbors_default=5, n_jobs=- 1, random_seed=0, **kwargs)

SMOTE Oversampler component. Will automatically select whether to use SMOTE, SMOTEN, or SMOTENC based on inputs to the component.

Parameters

• sampling_ratio (float) – This is the goal ratio of the minority to majority class, with range (0, 1]. A value of 0.25 means we want a 1:4 ratio of the minority to majority class after oversampling. We will create the a sampling dictionary using this ratio, with the keys corresponding to the class and the values responding to the number of samples. Defaults to 0.25.

• sampling_ratio_dict (dict) – A dictionary specifying the desired balanced ratio for each target value. For instance, in a binary case where class 1 is the minority, we could specify: sampling_ratio_dict={0: 0.5, 1: 1}, which means we would undersample class 0 to have twice the number of samples as class 1 (minority:majority ratio = 0.5), and don’t sample class 1. Overrides sampling_ratio if provided. Defaults to None.

• k_neighbors_default (int) – The number of nearest neighbors used to construct synthetic samples. This is the default value used, but the actual k_neighbors value might be smaller if there are less samples. Defaults to 5.

• n_jobs (int) – The number of CPU cores to use. Defaults to -1.

• random_seed (int) – The seed to use for random sampling. Defaults to 0.

Methods

clone	Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.
default_parameters	Returns the default parameters for this component.
describe	Describe a component and its parameters.
fit	Fits oversampler to data.
fit_transform	Fit and transform data using the sampler component.
load	Loads component at file path.
needs_fitting	Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances.
parameters	Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component.

transform	Transforms the input data by sampling the data.

clone(self)

Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.

Returns

A new instance of this component with identical parameters and random state.

default_parameters(cls)

Returns the default parameters for this component.

Our convention is that Component.default_parameters == Component().parameters.

Returns

Default parameters for this component.

Return type

dict

describe(self, print_name=False, return_dict=False)

Describe a component and its parameters.

Parameters

• print_name (bool, optional) – whether to print name of component

• return_dict (bool, optional) – whether to return description as dictionary in the format {“name”: name, “parameters”: parameters}

Returns

Returns dictionary if return_dict is True, else None.

Return type

None or dict

fit(self, X, y)

Fits oversampler to data.

Parameters

• X (pd.DataFrame) – The input training data of shape [n_samples, n_features].

• y (pd.Series, optional) – The target training data of length [n_samples].

Returns

self

fit_transform(self, X, y)

Fit and transform data using the sampler component.

Parameters

• X (pd.DataFrame) – The input training data of shape [n_samples, n_features].

• y (pd.Series, optional) – The target training data of length [n_samples].

Returns

Transformed data.

Return type

(pd.DataFrame, pd.Series)

static load(file_path)

Loads component at file path.

Parameters

file_path (str) – Location to load file.

Returns

ComponentBase object

needs_fitting(self)

Returns boolean determining if component needs fitting before calling predict, predict_proba, transform, or feature_importances.

This can be overridden to False for components that do not need to be fit or whose fit methods do nothing.

Returns

True.

property parameters(self)

Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component.

save(self, file_path, pickle_protocol=cloudpickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL)

Saves component at file path.

Parameters

• file_path (str) – Location to save file.

• pickle_protocol (int) – The pickle data stream format.

transform(self, X, y=None)

Transforms the input data by sampling the data.

Parameters

• X (pd.DataFrame) – Training features.

• y (pd.Series) – Target.

Returns

Transformed features and target.

Return type

pd.DataFrame, pd.Series
