How to print the probability of prediction in LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS for pyspark

Question

I am using Spark 1.5.1 and, In pyspark, after I fit the model using:

model = LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS.train(parsedData)

I can print the prediction using:

model.predict(p.features)

Is there a function to print the probability score also along with the prediction?

Answer 1

You have to clear the threshold first, and this works only for binary classification:

 from pyspark.mllib.classification import LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS, LogisticRegressionModel
 from pyspark.mllib.regression import LabeledPoint

 parsed_data = [LabeledPoint(0.0, [4.6,3.6,1.0,0.2]),
                LabeledPoint(0.0, [5.7,4.4,1.5,0.4]),
                LabeledPoint(1.0, [6.7,3.1,4.4,1.4]),
                LabeledPoint(0.0, [4.8,3.4,1.6,0.2]),
                LabeledPoint(1.0, [4.4,3.2,1.3,0.2])]   

 model = LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS.train(sc.parallelize(parsed_data))
 model.threshold
 # 0.5
 model.predict(parsed_data[2].features)
 # 1

 model.clearThreshold()
 model.predict(parsed_data[2].features)
 # 0.9873840020002339
