Thank for the wonderful solution of @paulkerfeld. On top of his solution, for all those who want to have a serialized version of trees, just use tree.threshold, tree.children_left, tree.children_right, tree.feature and tree.value. Since the leaves don't have splits and hence no feature names and children, their placeholder in tree.feature and tree.children_*** are _tree.TREE_UNDEFINED and _tree.TREE_LEAF. Every split is assigned a unique index by depth first search. Notice that the tree.value is of shape [n, 1, 1]

下面是一个通过转换export_text的输出从决策树生成Python代码的函数:

import string
from sklearn.tree import export_text

def export_py_code(tree, feature_names, max_depth=100, spacing=4):
    if spacing < 2:
        raise ValueError('spacing must be > 1')

    # Clean up feature names (for correctness)
    nums = string.digits
    alnums = string.ascii_letters + nums
    clean = lambda s: ''.join(c if c in alnums else '_' for c in s)
    features = [clean(x) for x in feature_names]
    features = ['_'+x if x[0] in nums else x for x in features if x]
    if len(set(features)) != len(feature_names):
        raise ValueError('invalid feature names')

    # First: export tree to text
    res = export_text(tree, feature_names=features, 
                        max_depth=max_depth,
                        decimals=6,
                        spacing=spacing-1)

    # Second: generate Python code from the text
    skip, dash = ' '*spacing, '-'*(spacing-1)
    code = 'def decision_tree({}):\n'.format(', '.join(features))
    for line in repr(tree).split('\n'):
        code += skip + "# " + line + '\n'
    for line in res.split('\n'):
        line = line.rstrip().replace('|',' ')
        if '<' in line or '>' in line:
            line, val = line.rsplit(maxsplit=1)
            line = line.replace(' ' + dash, 'if')
            line = '{} {:g}:'.format(line, float(val))
        else:
            line = line.replace(' {} class:'.format(dash), 'return')
        code += skip + line + '\n'

    return code

示例用法:

res = export_py_code(tree, feature_names=names, spacing=4)
print (res)

样例输出:

def decision_tree(f1, f2, f3):
    # DecisionTreeClassifier(class_weight=None, criterion='gini', max_depth=3,
    #                        max_features=None, max_leaf_nodes=None,
    #                        min_impurity_decrease=0.0, min_impurity_split=None,
    #                        min_samples_leaf=1, min_samples_split=2,
    #                        min_weight_fraction_leaf=0.0, presort=False,
    #                        random_state=42, splitter='best')
    if f1 <= 12.5:
        if f2 <= 17.5:
            if f1 <= 10.5:
                return 2
            if f1 > 10.5:
                return 3
        if f2 > 17.5:
            if f2 <= 22.5:
                return 1
            if f2 > 22.5:
                return 1
    if f1 > 12.5:
        if f1 <= 17.5:
            if f3 <= 23.5:
                return 2
            if f3 > 23.5:
                return 3
        if f1 > 17.5:
            if f1 <= 25:
                return 1
            if f1 > 25:
                return 2

上面的示例生成了names = ['f'+str(j+1) for j in range(NUM_FEATURES)]。

一个方便的功能是，它可以生成更小的文件大小与减少间距。只需要设置spacing=2。

下面的代码是我在anaconda python 2.7下的方法，加上一个包名“pydot-ng”，以制作具有决策规则的PDF文件。希望对大家有所帮助。

from sklearn import tree

clf = tree.DecisionTreeClassifier(max_leaf_nodes=n)
clf_ = clf.fit(X, data_y)

feature_names = X.columns
class_name = clf_.classes_.astype(int).astype(str)

def output_pdf(clf_, name):
    from sklearn import tree
    from sklearn.externals.six import StringIO
    import pydot_ng as pydot
    dot_data = StringIO()
    tree.export_graphviz(clf_, out_file=dot_data,
                         feature_names=feature_names,
                         class_names=class_name,
                         filled=True, rounded=True,
                         special_characters=True,
                          node_ids=1,)
    graph = pydot.graph_from_dot_data(dot_data.getvalue())
    graph.write_pdf("%s.pdf"%name)

output_pdf(clf_, name='filename%s'%n)

这是一个树形图

显然，很久以前就有人决定尝试将以下函数添加到官方scikit的树导出函数中(基本上只支持export_graphviz)

def export_dict(tree, feature_names=None, max_depth=None) :
    """Export a decision tree in dict format.

以下是他的全部承诺:

https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/79bdc8f711d0af225ed6be9fdb708cea9f98a910/sklearn/tree/export.py

不太确定这条评论发生了什么。但是你也可以尝试使用这个函数。

我认为这为scikit-learn的优秀人员提供了一个严肃的文档需求，以正确地记录sklearn.tree.Tree API，这是一个底层的树结构，DecisionTreeClassifier将其作为属性tree_公开。

from StringIO import StringIO
out = StringIO()
out = tree.export_graphviz(clf, out_file=out)
print out.getvalue()

你可以看到一个有向图树。然后,clf.tree_。Feature和clf.tree_。值分别为节点数组拆分特征和节点数组值。你可以参考这个github来源的更多细节。

Scikit learn在0.21版(2019年5月)中引入了一个名为export_text的有趣的新方法，用于从树中提取规则。这里的文档。不再需要创建自定义函数。

一旦你适应了你的模型，你只需要两行代码。首先，导入export_text:

from sklearn.tree import export_text

其次，创建一个包含规则的对象。为了使规则看起来更具可读性，使用feature_names参数并传递一个特性名称列表。例如，如果你的模型是model，你的特征是在一个名为X_train的数据框架中命名的，你可以创建一个名为tree_rules的对象:

tree_rules = export_text(model, feature_names=list(X_train.columns))

然后打印或保存tree_rules。输出如下所示:

|--- Age <= 0.63
|   |--- EstimatedSalary <= 0.61
|   |   |--- Age <= -0.16
|   |   |   |--- class: 0
|   |   |--- Age >  -0.16
|   |   |   |--- EstimatedSalary <= -0.06
|   |   |   |   |--- class: 0
|   |   |   |--- EstimatedSalary >  -0.06
|   |   |   |   |--- EstimatedSalary <= 0.40
|   |   |   |   |   |--- EstimatedSalary <= 0.03
|   |   |   |   |   |   |--- class: 1
