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。

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]

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

我需要一种更人性化的决策树规则格式。我正在构建开源AutoML Python包，很多时候MLJAR用户希望从树中看到确切的规则。

这就是为什么我实现了一个基于paulkernfeld答案的函数。

def get_rules(tree, feature_names, class_names):
    tree_ = tree.tree_
    feature_name = [
        feature_names[i] if i != _tree.TREE_UNDEFINED else "undefined!"
        for i in tree_.feature
    ]

    paths = []
    path = []
    
    def recurse(node, path, paths):
        
        if tree_.feature[node] != _tree.TREE_UNDEFINED:
            name = feature_name[node]
            threshold = tree_.threshold[node]
            p1, p2 = list(path), list(path)
            p1 += [f"({name} <= {np.round(threshold, 3)})"]
            recurse(tree_.children_left[node], p1, paths)
            p2 += [f"({name} > {np.round(threshold, 3)})"]
            recurse(tree_.children_right[node], p2, paths)
        else:
            path += [(tree_.value[node], tree_.n_node_samples[node])]
            paths += [path]
            
    recurse(0, path, paths)

    # sort by samples count
    samples_count = [p[-1][1] for p in paths]
    ii = list(np.argsort(samples_count))
    paths = [paths[i] for i in reversed(ii)]
    
    rules = []
    for path in paths:
        rule = "if "
        
        for p in path[:-1]:
            if rule != "if ":
                rule += " and "
            rule += str(p)
        rule += " then "
        if class_names is None:
            rule += "response: "+str(np.round(path[-1][0][0][0],3))
        else:
            classes = path[-1][0][0]
            l = np.argmax(classes)
            rule += f"class: {class_names[l]} (proba: {np.round(100.0*classes[l]/np.sum(classes),2)}%)"
        rule += f" | based on {path[-1][1]:,} samples"
        rules += [rule]
        
    return rules

规则按照分配给每个规则的训练样本的数量进行排序。对于每条规则，都有关于预测的类名和分类任务预测概率的信息。对于回归任务，只打印关于预测值的信息。

例子

from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeRegressor
from sklearn import tree

# Prepare the data data
boston = datasets.load_boston()
X = boston.data
y = boston.target

# Fit the regressor, set max_depth = 3
regr = DecisionTreeRegressor(max_depth=3, random_state=1234)
model = regr.fit(X, y)

# Print rules
rules = get_rules(regr, boston.feature_names, None)
for r in rules:
    print(r)

印刷规则:

if (RM <= 6.941) and (LSTAT <= 14.4) and (DIS > 1.385) then response: 22.905 | based on 250 samples
if (RM <= 6.941) and (LSTAT > 14.4) and (CRIM <= 6.992) then response: 17.138 | based on 101 samples
if (RM <= 6.941) and (LSTAT > 14.4) and (CRIM > 6.992) then response: 11.978 | based on 74 samples
if (RM > 6.941) and (RM <= 7.437) and (NOX <= 0.659) then response: 33.349 | based on 43 samples
if (RM > 6.941) and (RM > 7.437) and (PTRATIO <= 19.65) then response: 45.897 | based on 29 samples
if (RM <= 6.941) and (LSTAT <= 14.4) and (DIS <= 1.385) then response: 45.58 | based on 5 samples
if (RM > 6.941) and (RM <= 7.437) and (NOX > 0.659) then response: 14.4 | based on 3 samples
if (RM > 6.941) and (RM > 7.437) and (PTRATIO > 19.65) then response: 21.9 | based on 1 samples

我在我的文章中总结了从决策树中提取规则的方法:用Scikit-Learn和Python以3种方式从决策树中提取规则。

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。

我创建了自己的函数，从sklearn创建的决策树中提取规则:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier

# dummy data:
df = pd.DataFrame({'col1':[0,1,2,3],'col2':[3,4,5,6],'dv':[0,1,0,1]})

# create decision tree
dt = DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=5, min_samples_leaf=1)
dt.fit(df.ix[:,:2], df.dv)

这个函数首先从节点(在子数组中由-1标识)开始，然后递归地查找父节点。我称之为节点的“沿袭”。在此过程中，我获取了我需要创建if/then/else SAS逻辑的值:

def get_lineage(tree, feature_names):
     left      = tree.tree_.children_left
     right     = tree.tree_.children_right
     threshold = tree.tree_.threshold
     features  = [feature_names[i] for i in tree.tree_.feature]

     # get ids of child nodes
     idx = np.argwhere(left == -1)[:,0]     

     def recurse(left, right, child, lineage=None):          
          if lineage is None:
               lineage = [child]
          if child in left:
               parent = np.where(left == child)[0].item()
               split = 'l'
          else:
               parent = np.where(right == child)[0].item()
               split = 'r'

          lineage.append((parent, split, threshold[parent], features[parent]))

          if parent == 0:
               lineage.reverse()
               return lineage
          else:
               return recurse(left, right, parent, lineage)

     for child in idx:
          for node in recurse(left, right, child):
               print node

下面的元组集包含了创建SAS if/then/else语句所需的所有内容。我不喜欢在SAS中使用do块，这就是为什么我创建逻辑来描述节点的整个路径。元组后的单个整数为路径中终端节点的ID。所有前面的元组组合起来创建该节点。

In [1]: get_lineage(dt, df.columns)
(0, 'l', 0.5, 'col1')
1
(0, 'r', 0.5, 'col1')
(2, 'l', 4.5, 'col2')
3
(0, 'r', 0.5, 'col1')
(2, 'r', 4.5, 'col2')
(4, 'l', 2.5, 'col1')
5
(0, 'r', 0.5, 'col1')
(2, 'r', 4.5, 'col2')
(4, 'r', 2.5, 'col1')
6
