Using scikit-learn with Python 2.7 on Windows. Here is my code and my code has no warning if I change precision to precision_weighted for scoring parameter. But I do not know what does the warning mean and what is the reason behind scene to explicitly specify average to be one of (None, 'micro', 'macro', 'weighted', 'samples')? Actually in my case, I want to treat all samples of equal weight, but it seems there is no such option in the 5 choices?
from sklearn import linear_model, datasets
from sklearn.cross_validation import cross_val_score
# import some data to play with
iris = datasets.load_iris()
X = iris.data[:, :2] # we only take the first two features.
Y = iris.target
h = .02 # step size in the mesh
logreg = linear_model.LogisticRegression(C=1e5)
# we create an instance of Neighbours Classifier and fit the data.
logreg.fit(X, Y)
print cross_val_score(logreg, X, Y, cv=10, scoring="precision")
#print cross_val_score(logreg, X, Y, cv=10, scoring="precision_weighted")
