cave.analyzer.parameter_importance.local_parameter_importance module

class cave.analyzer.parameter_importance.local_parameter_importance.LocalParameterImportance(runscontainer, marginal_threshold=0.05)

Bases: cave.analyzer.parameter_importance.base_parameter_importance.BaseParameterImportance

Using an empirical performance model, performance changes of a configuration along each parameter are calculated. To quantify the importance of a parameter value, the variance of all cost values by changing that parameter are predicted and then the fraction of all variances is computed. This analysis is inspired by the human behaviour to look for improvements in the neighborhood of individual parameters of a configuration.

Calculate parameter-importance using the PIMP-package.

classmethod check_for_bokeh(d)

Check if there is bokeh-plots in the output of this analyzer by checking the result-dictionary for the bokeh keyword.

get_html(d=None, tooltip=None)

General reports in html-format, to be easily integrated in html-code. WORKS ALSO FOR BOKEH-OUTPUT.

Parameters

• d (Dictionary) – a dictionary that will be later turned into a website

• tooltip (string) – tooltip to be displayed in report. optional, will overwrite the docstrings that are used by default.

Returns

script, div – header and body part of html-code

Return type

str, str

get_jupyter()

Depending on analysis, this creates jupyter-notebook compatible output.

get_name()

parameter_importance(modus)

modus: str

modus for parameter importance, from [forward-selection, ablation, fanova, lpi]

plot_bokeh()

This function should recreate the bokeh-plot from scratch with as little overhead as possible. This is needed to show the bokeh plot in jupyter AND save it to the webpage. The bokeh plot needs to be recreated to be displayed in different outputs for reasons beyond out control. So save all analysis results in the class and simply redo the plotting with this function. This function needs to be called if bokeh-plots are to be displayed in notebook AND saved to html-result.
