Multiclass and multilabel classification strategies
===================================================

This module implements multiclass learning algorithms:
    - one-vs-the-rest / one-vs-all
    - one-vs-one
    - error correcting output codes

The estimators provided in this module are meta-estimators: they require a base
estimator to be provided in their constructor. For example, it is possible to
use these estimators to turn a binary classifier or a regressor into a
multiclass classifier. It is also possible to use these estimators with
multiclass estimators in the hope that their accuracy or runtime performance
improves.

All classifiers in scikit-learn implement multiclass classification; you
only need to use this module if you want to experiment with custom multiclass
strategies.

The one-vs-the-rest meta-classifier also implements a `predict_proba` method,
so long as such a method is implemented by the base classifier. This method
returns probabilities of class membership in both the single label and
multilabel case.  Note that in the multilabel case, probabilities are the
marginal probability that a given sample falls in the given class. As such, in
the multilabel case the sum of these probabilities over all possible labels
for a given sample *will not* sum to unity, as they do in the single label
case.

    """One-vs-the-rest (OvR) multiclass/multilabel strategy

    Also known as one-vs-all, this strategy consists in fitting one classifier
    per class. For each classifier, the class is fitted against all the other
    classes. In addition to its computational efficiency (only `n_classes`
    classifiers are needed), one advantage of this approach is its
    interpretability. Since each class is represented by one and one classifier
    only, it is possible to gain knowledge about the class by inspecting its
    corresponding classifier. This is the most commonly used strategy for
    multiclass classification and is a fair default choice.

    This strategy can also be used for multilabel learning, where a classifier
    is used to predict multiple labels for instance, by fitting on a 2-d matrix
    in which cell [i, j] is 1 if sample i has label j and 0 otherwise.

    In the multilabel learning literature, OvR is also known as the binary
    relevance method.

        useful for debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are
        used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used.

    ----------
    estimators_ : list of `n_classes` estimators
        Estimators used for predictions.

    classes_ : array, shape = [`n_classes`]

        Object used to transform multiclass labels to binary labels and

class OutputCodeClassifier(BaseEstimator, ClassifierMixin, MetaEstimatorMixin):
    """(Error-Correcting) Output-Code multiclass strategy

    Output-code based strategies consist in representing each class with a
    binary code (an array of 0s and 1s). At fitting time, one binary
    classifier per bit in the code book is fitted.  At prediction time, the
    classifiers are used to project new points in the class space and the class
    closest to the points is chosen. The main advantage of these strategies is
    that the number of classifiers used can be controlled by the user, either
    for compressing the model (0 < code_size < 1) or for making the model more
    robust to errors (code_size > 1). See the documentation for more details.

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <ecoc>`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : estimator object
        An estimator object implementing `fit` and one of `decision_function`
        or `predict_proba`.

    code_size : float
        Percentage of the number of classes to be used to create the code book.
        A number between 0 and 1 will require fewer classifiers than
        one-vs-the-rest. A number greater than 1 will require more classifiers
        than one-vs-the-rest.

    random_state : numpy.RandomState, optional
        The generator used to initialize the codebook. Defaults to
        numpy.random.

    n_jobs : int, optional, default: 1
        The number of jobs to use for the computation. If -1 all CPUs are used.
        If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, which is
        useful for debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are
        used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used.

    Attributes
    ----------
    estimators_ : list of `int(n_classes * code_size)` estimators
        Estimators used for predictions.

    classes_ : numpy array of shape [n_classes]
        Array containing labels.

    code_book_ : numpy array of shape [n_classes, code_size]
        Binary array containing the code of each class.
