I was using r2_score()
method, for evaluation of a Regression problem using scikit learn.
As we know that we should get, 0.0 for the coefficient of determination R^2 of the prediction.
but I'm getting 2.220446049250313e-16 when I do so.
here is the code
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
import pandas as pd
boston=load_boston()
target=boston['target']
boston=pd.DataFrame(data=boston['data'],columns=boston['feature_names'])
boston['target']=target
x=boston.drop('target',axis=1)
y=boston['target']
np.random.seed(42)
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
x_train,x_test,y_train,y_test=train_test_split(x,y,test_size=0.2)
model=RandomForestRegressor().fit(x_train,y_train)
model.score(x_test,y_test,)
This code segment returns:
0.873969014117403
and this code segment:
from sklearn.metrics import r2_score
y_preds=model.predict(x_test)
r2_score(y_test,y_preds)
also returns:
0.873969014117403
But when I run this code segment where I'm comparing the mean of the test values with their mean:
y_test_mean=np.full(len(y_test),y_test.mean())
r2_score(y_test,y_test_mean)
I get the value(which is an error):
2.220446049250313e-16
Because, it should be 0.0 according to the scikit learn documentation.Here is the code snippet from there:
>>> y_true = [1, 2, 3]
>>> y_pred = [2, 2, 2]
>>> r2_score(y_true, y_pred)
0.0
I'm using google colaboratory for my work. Can anyone pls help me figure out, why the error is coming?? Thank you.
