Syntax

objective = predictObjective(results,XTable)
[objective,sigma] = predictObjective(results,XTable)

Description

objective = predictObjective(results,XTable) returns the estimated objective function value at the points in XTable.

This example shows how to estimate the cross-validation loss of an optimized classifier.

Optimize a KNN classifier for the ionosphere data, meaning find parameters that minimize the cross-validation loss. Minimize over nearest-neighborhood sizes from 1 to 30, and over the distance functions 'chebychev', 'euclidean', and 'minkowski'.

For reproducibility, set the random seed, and set the AcquisitionFunctionName option to 'expected-improvement-plus'.

load ionosphere
rng default
num = optimizableVariable('n',[1,30],'Type','integer');
dst = optimizableVariable('dst',{'chebychev','euclidean','minkowski'},'Type','categorical');
c = cvpartition(351,'Kfold',5);
fun = @(x)kfoldLoss(fitcknn(X,Y,'CVPartition',c,'NumNeighbors',x.n,...
    'Distance',char(x.dst),'NSMethod','exhaustive'));
results = bayesopt(fun,[num,dst],'Verbose',0,...
    'AcquisitionFunctionName','expected-improvement-plus');

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Objective function model, xlabel n, ylabel dst contains 5 objects of type line, surface, contour. One or more of the lines displays its values using only markers These objects represent Observed points, Model mean, Next point, Model minimum feasible.

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Min objective vs. Number of function evaluations, xlabel Function evaluations, ylabel Min objective contains 2 objects of type line. These objects represent Min observed objective, Estimated min objective.

Create a table of points to estimate.

b = categorical({'chebychev','euclidean','minkowski'});
n = [1;1;1;4;2;2];
dst = [b(1);b(2);b(3);b(1);b(1);b(3)];
XTable = table(n,dst);

Estimate the objective and standard deviation of the objective at these points.

[objective,sigma] = predictObjective(results,XTable);
[XTable,table(objective,sigma)]
ans=6×4 table
    n       dst       objective      sigma  
    _    _________    _________    _________

    1    chebychev     0.12132     0.0068029
    1    euclidean     0.14052     0.0079128
    1    minkowski     0.14057     0.0079117
    4    chebychev      0.1227     0.0068805
    2    chebychev     0.12176     0.0066739
    2    minkowski      0.1437     0.0075448

Input Arguments

collapse all

Bayesian optimization results, specified as a BayesianOptimization object.

Prediction points, specified as a table with D columns, where D is the number of variables in the problem. The function performs its predictions on these points.

Data Types: table

Output Arguments

collapse all

Objective estimates, returned as an N-by-1 vector, where N is the number of rows of XTable. The estimates are the mean values of the posterior distribution of the Gaussian process model of the objective function.

Standard deviations of objective function, returned as an N-by-1 vector, where N is the number of rows of XTable. The standard deviations are those of the posterior distribution of the Gaussian process model of the objective function.
