linear-tree
A python library to build Model Trees with Linear Models at the leaves.
Overview
Linear Model Trees combine the learning ability of Decision Tree with the predictive and explicative power of Linear Models. Like in tree-based algorithms, the data are split according to simple decision rules. The goodness of slits is evaluated in gain terms fitting Linear Models in the nodes. This implies that the models in the leaves are linear instead of constant approximations like in classical Decision Trees.
linear-tree is developed to be fully integrable with scikit-learn. LinearTreeRegressor and LinearTreeClassifier are provided as scikit-learn BaseEstimator. They are wrappers that build a decision tree on the data fitting a linear estimator from sklearn.linear_model. All the models available in sklearn.linear_model can be used as linear estimators.
Installation
pip install linear-tree
The module depends on NumPy, SciPy and Scikit-Learn (>=0.23.0). Python 3.6 or above is supported.

Usage
Regression
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from lineartree import LinearTreeRegressor
from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
X, y = make_regression(n_samples=100, n_features=4,
n_informative=2, n_targets=1,
random_state=0, shuffle=False)
regr = LinearTreeRegressor(base_estimator=LinearRegression())
regr.fit(X, y)
Classification
from sklearn.linear_model import RidgeClassifier
from lineartree import LinearTreeClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
X, y = make_classification(n_samples=100, n_features=4,
n_informative=2, n_redundant=0,
random_state=0, shuffle=False)
clf = LinearTreeClassifier(base_estimator=RidgeClassifier())
clf.fit(X, y)
