Hi Roberto.
GridSearchCV uses accuracy for selection if not other method is specified, so there should be no difference.

Could you provide code?
Do you also create a pipeline when using your own grid search? I would imagine there is some difference in how you do the fitting in the pipeline.

Cheers,
Andy

Regarding my previous question, I suspect the difference lies in the scoring function.

What is the default scoring function used by gridsearch?

In my own implementation  I am using

number of correctly classified samples (no weighting) / total number of samples

sklearn gridsearch function must be using something else, or maybe the same, but with weighting?

Thanks,

*Subject:* getting different results with sklearn gridsearchCV

I am comparing the results of sklearn cross-validation and my own cross validation.

I tested linearSVC under the following conditions:

-Data scaling per grid search

-Data scaling + 2-level quantization, per grid search

Specifically, I have done the following:

Sklearn gridSearchCV

-Create a pipeline with [StandardScaler, LinearSVC] if no binning is used, or [StandardScaler, Binarizer, LinearSVC], if binning is used

-Invoke sklearn gridsearch (only C is provided as a parameter to optimize over)

-When done with gridsearch,

oScale entire training set

oScale test set (with mean/std found on training set)

oQuantize, if quantization is used

o run LinearSVC, with best C value found

My own grid search

-Search over all possible values of C (same range as above)

-For each value of C, use stratifiedKFold with random_seed set to a random number

oScale train cross-validation datased, and test cross validation dataset with train cv mean and std

oIf binning is used, apply binary binning (my own function), on top of StandardScaler

oFor each value of C compute average score over all partition, where the score is defined as number of correctly classified samples / total number of samples

-When done with gridsearch,

oScale entire training set

oScale test set (with mean/std found on training set)

oQuantize, if quantization is used

o run LinearSVC, with best C value found

For some reason, I’m getting different results. In particular, sklearn gridsearch performs better than my own gridsearch when not using quantization, and it gets worse with quantization. With my own gridsearch I’m getting the opposite trend.

Is my understanding of sklearn gridsearch wrong, or are there any issues with it?

Thank you,
