Confusion matrix error when array dimensions are of size 3

Question

This code:

from pandas_ml import ConfusionMatrix
y_actu = [1,2]
y_pred = [1,2]
cm = ConfusionMatrix(y_actu, y_pred)
cm.print_stats()

prints:

population: 2
P: 1
N: 1
PositiveTest: 1
NegativeTest: 1
TP: 1
TN: 1
FP: 0
FN: 0
TPR: 1.0
TNR: 1.0
PPV: 1.0
NPV: 1.0
FPR: 0.0
FDR: 0.0
FNR: 0.0
ACC: 1.0
F1_score: 1.0
MCC: 1.0

markedness: 1.0

  return(np.float64(self.TPR) / self.FPR)

Which is expected.

However, when I modify the code to be:

from pandas_ml import ConfusionMatrix
y_actu = [1,2,3]
y_pred = [1,2,3]
cm = ConfusionMatrix(y_actu, y_pred)
cm.print_stats()

using:

y_actu = [1,2,3]
y_pred = [1,2,3]

it results in this error:

I found this similar question which states

Using endemic lists is not allowed on assignment and is not recommended to do this at all.

What is an endemic list, and have I created one?

Did you try scikit learning? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43697980/is-there-something-already-implemented-in-python-to-calculate-tp-tn-fp-and-fn/43698347#43698347 — Sidon, May 18 '17 at 17:42
@Sidon thanks, yes I researched it 'a little' , pandas ml offers many useful stats of the dataset 'out of the box' via the print_stats method, which coincidentally the poster of question you linked is also asking about. Thanks for link , the visualizations are appealing. — blue-sky, May 18 '17 at 17:48

I would recommend using confusion_matrix from scikit-learn. The other metrics that you mention such as Precision, Recall, F1-score are also available from sklearn.metrics.

>>> from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
>>> y_actu = [1,2,3]
>>> y_pred = [1,2,3]
>>> confusion_matrix(y_actu, y_pred)
array([[1, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 0],
       [0, 0, 1]])

I also use and recommend the sklearn confusion_matrix function. Personally I also keep a "pretty-print confusion matrix" function handy with a few extra conveniences:

class labels printed along the confusion matrix axes
confusion matrix stats normalized so that all cells sum to 1
confusion matrix cell colors scaled according to cell-value
Additional metrics like F-score, etc printed below the confusion matrix.

Like this:

Here's the plotting function, based largely on this example from the Scikit-Learn documentation

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import itertools
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report

def pretty_print_conf_matrix(y_true, y_pred, 
                             classes,
                             normalize=False,
                             title='Confusion matrix',
                             cmap=plt.cm.Blues):
    """
    Mostly stolen from: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/model_selection/plot_confusion_matrix.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-model-selection-plot-confusion-matrix-py

    Normalization changed, classification_report stats added below plot
    """

    cm = confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred)

    # Configure Confusion Matrix Plot Aesthetics (no text yet) 
    plt.imshow(cm, interpolation='nearest', cmap=cmap)
    plt.title(title, fontsize=14)
    tick_marks = np.arange(len(classes))
    plt.xticks(tick_marks, classes, rotation=45)
    plt.yticks(tick_marks, classes)
    plt.ylabel('True label', fontsize=12)
    plt.xlabel('Predicted label', fontsize=12)

    # Calculate normalized values (so all cells sum to 1) if desired
    if normalize:
        cm = np.round(cm.astype('float') / cm.sum(),2) #(axis=1)[:, np.newaxis]

    # Place Numbers as Text on Confusion Matrix Plot
    thresh = cm.max() / 2.
    for i, j in itertools.product(range(cm.shape[0]), range(cm.shape[1])):
        plt.text(j, i, cm[i, j],
                 horizontalalignment="center",
                 color="white" if cm[i, j] > thresh else "black",
                 fontsize=12)


    # Add Precision, Recall, F-1 Score as Captions Below Plot
    rpt = classification_report(y_true, y_pred)
    rpt = rpt.replace('avg / total', '      avg')
    rpt = rpt.replace('support', 'N Obs')

    plt.annotate(rpt, 
                 xy = (0,0), 
                 xytext = (-50, -140), 
                 xycoords='axes fraction', textcoords='offset points',
                 fontsize=12, ha='left')    

    # Plot
    plt.tight_layout()

And here's the example with the iris data used to generate the plot image:

from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.svm import SVC

#get data, make predictions
(X,y) = datasets.load_iris(return_X_y=True)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X,y, train_size=0.5)

clf = SVC()
clf.fit(X_train,y_train)
y_test_pred = clf.predict(X_test)


# Plot Confusion Matrix
plt.style.use('classic')
plt.figure(figsize=(3,3))
pretty_print_conf_matrix(y_test, y_test_pred, 
                         classes= ['0', '1', '2'],
                         normalize=True, 
                         title='Confusion Matrix')

I like your function, but what part would I need to change to make the data display properly without showing over the matrix? See [here](https://i.imgur.com/MMztDxn.png). — OscarVanL, Nov 25 '19 at 15:24
@OscarVanL If you are still looking for a solution to your issue, just change the values of xytext = (-50, -160), fontsize=12, rotation=45 till you get a clear image. — user1410665, May 05 '20 at 03:47

Interestingly, when I run your code, I do not get the error that you received, and the code ran perfectly. I suggest you upgrade the pandas_ml library by running:

pip install --upgrade pandas_ml

Also, you need to upgrade pandas by running:

pip install --upgrade pandas

If that does not work, you can use pandas itself to create a confusion matrix:

import pandas as pd
y_actu = pd.Series([1, 2, 3], name='Actual')
y_pred = pd.Series([1, 2, 3], name='Predicted')
df_confusion = pd.crosstab(y_actu, y_pred)
print df_confusion

Which will give you the table you are looking for.

thanks but your not using ' cm = ConfusionMatrix(y_actu, y_pred) ' and therefore cannot print stats using ' print_stats() '? – blue-sky May 22 '17 at 17:12
Using Python 2, I was able to run your code directly and achieve the stats results that you wish. What version of Python are you using? – Ajax1234 May 22 '17 at 17:25
@blue-sky, please take a look at my answer above. I solved the problem by upgrading both pandas and pandas_ml. ConfusionMatrix works well with multiclass example [1,2,3] now. – Alexey Trofimov May 24 '17 at 04:29

Alexey Trofimov · Answer 4 · 2017-05-23T10:46:21.340

Seems like the error is not because of the array dimension:

from pandas_ml import ConfusionMatrix
y_actu = [1,2,2]
y_pred = [1,1,2]
cm = ConfusionMatrix(y_actu, y_pred)
cm.print_stats()

this (binary classification problem) works fine.

Maybe confusion matrix of multiclass classification problem is just broken.

Updated: ive just make these steps:

conda update pandas

to get pandas 0.20.1 and then

pip install -U pandas_ml

now everything is fine with mulsiclass confusion matrix:

from pandas_ml import ConfusionMatrix
y_actu = [1,2,3]
y_pred = [1,2,3]
cm = ConfusionMatrix(y_actu, y_pred)
cm.print_stats()

i got the output:
