Multiclass and multilabel classification =============== ReliefE was adapted for various classification tasks. The key difference between doing ranking in a multiclass or multilabel setting is the `shape` of the output matrix. Having considered the multiclass example before, let's inspect how does the code differ in a multilabel case: .. code:: python3 import reliefe import scipy.io as sio import numpy as np # Load the data first mat_obj = sio.loadmat("data/mlc/Science1.mat") x = mat_obj['input_space'] ## scipy csr sparse matrix (or numpy dense) y = mat_obj['target_space'] ## scipy csr sparse matrix (or numpy dense) print(y.shape) # 40 possible labels reliefE_instance = reliefe.ReliefE() # Initialize default ReliefE reliefE_instance.fit(x, y) # Compute rankings print(reliefE_instance.feature_importances_) # rankings for features (same order as x) **There is no difference**. ReliefE automatically recognizes that as the shape of `y` is > 1, it needs to perform **multilabel** ranking.
