PySpark Decision Tree Classification Example

         PySpark MLlib API provides a DecisionTreeClassifier model to implement classification with decision tree method. A decision tree method is one of the well known and powerful supervised machine learning algorithms that can be used for classification and regression tasks. It is a tree-like, top-down flow learning method to extract rules from the training data. The branches of the tree are based on certain decision outcomes.

    In this tutorial, we'll briefly learn how to fit and classify data by using PySpark DecisionTreeClassifier. The tutorial covers:

  1. Preparing the data
  2. Prediction and accuracy check
  3. Source code listing
   We'll start by loading the required libraries for this tutorial.

from pyspark import SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
from pyspark.ml.classification import DecisionTreeClassifier
from pyspark.ml.evaluation import MulticlassClassificationEvaluator
from pyspark.ml.feature import VectorAssembler
from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
import pandas as pd 
 


Preparing the data

   We use Iris dataset to perform classification and it can be easily loaded from the Scikit-learn dataset module. Below code explains how to load dataset and transform it into the pandas data frame type. 

iris = load_iris()
df_iris = pd.DataFrame(iris.data, columns=iris.feature_names)
df_iris['label'] = pd.Series(iris.target)
 
print(df_iris.head())
 
   sepal length (cm)  sepal width (cm)  ...  petal width (cm)  label
0 5.1 3.5 ... 0.2 0
1 4.9 3.0 ... 0.2 0
2 4.7 3.2 ... 0.2 0
3 4.6 3.1 ... 0.2 0
4 5.0 3.6 ... 0.2 0
 
 

Next, we'll define SqlConext and create data frame by using df_iris data.
 
sc = SparkContext().getOrCreate()
sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)

data = sqlContext.createDataFrame(df_iris)
print(data.printSchema()) 
 
root
|-- sepal length (cm): double (nullable = true)
|-- sepal width (cm): double (nullable = true)
|-- petal length (cm): double (nullable = true)
|-- petal width (cm): double (nullable = true)
|-- label: long (nullable = true)
 
 
To combine all feature data and separate 'label' data in a dataset, we use VectorAssembler.

features = iris.feature_names

va = VectorAssembler(inputCols = features, outputCol='features')

va_df = va.transform(data)
va_df = va_df.select(['features', 'label'])
va_df.show(3)
  
+-----------------+-----+
| features|label|
+-----------------+-----+
|[5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2]| 0|
|[4.9,3.0,1.4,0.2]| 0|
|[4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2]| 0|
+-----------------+-----+
only showing top 3 rows
 

Next, we'll split data into the train and test parts.

(train, test) = va_df.randomSplit([0.8, 0.2])
 
 

Prediction and Accuracy Check

   Next, we'll define the decision tree classifier model by using the DecisionTreeClassifier class and fit model on train data. We can predict test data by using trasnform() method.
 
dtc = DecisionTreeClassifier(featuresCol="features", labelCol="label")
dtc = dtc.fit(train)

pred = dtc.transform(test)
pred.show(3)
 
+-----------------+-----+--------------+-------------+----------+
| features|label| rawPrediction| probability|prediction|
+-----------------+-----+--------------+-------------+----------+
|[4.4,2.9,1.4,0.2]| 0|[35.0,0.0,0.0]|[1.0,0.0,0.0]| 0.0|
|[4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2]| 0|[35.0,0.0,0.0]|[1.0,0.0,0.0]| 0.0|
|[5.0,3.6,1.4,0.2]| 0|[35.0,0.0,0.0]|[1.0,0.0,0.0]| 0.0|
+-----------------+-----+--------------+-------------+----------+
only showing top 3 rows
 
 
 
    After training the model, we'll predict test data and check the accuracy metrics. Here, we can use MulticlassClassificationEvaluator to check the accuracy. Confusion matrix can be created by using confusion_matrix function of sklearn.metrics module.

evaluator=MulticlassClassificationEvaluator(predictionCol="prediction")
acc = evaluator.evaluate(pred)
 
print("Prediction Accuracy: ", acc)
 
y_pred=pred.select("prediction").collect()
y_orig=pred.select("label").collect()

cm = confusion_matrix(y_orig, y_pred)
print("Confusion Matrix:")
print(cm)
 
Prediction Accuracy:  1.0
Confusion Matrix:
[[13 0 0]
[ 0 5 0]
[ 0 0 10]] 
 
 
Finally, we'll stop spark context session.
 
# Stop session 
sc.stop()
