LightGBM 调参方法（具体操作）

鄙人调参新手，最近用lightGBM有点猛，无奈在各大博客之间找不到具体的调参方法，于是将自己的调参notebook打印成markdown出来，希望可以跟大家互相学习。

其实，对于基于决策树的模型，调参的方法都是大同小异。一般都需要如下步骤：

首先选择较高的学习率，大概0.1附近，这样是为了加快收敛的速度。这对于调参是很有必要的。
对决策树基本参数调参
正则化参数调参
最后降低学习率，这里是为了最后提高准确率

所以，下面的调参例子是基于上述步骤来操作。数据集为一个(4400+, 1000+)的数据集，全是数值特征，metric采用均方根误差。

（PS：还是吐槽一下，lightgbm参数的同义词(alias)实在是太多了，有时候不同的参数但同一个意思的时候真的很困扰，下面同义的参数我都用/划开，方便查看。）

Step1. 学习率和估计器及其数目

不管怎么样，我们先把学习率先定一个较高的值，这里取 learning_rate = 0.1，其次确定估计器boosting/boost/boosting_type的类型，不过默认都会选gbdt。

为了确定估计器的数目，也就是boosting迭代的次数，也可以说是残差树的数目，参数名为n_estimators/num_iterations/num_round/num_boost_round。我们可以先将该参数设成一个较大的数，然后在cv结果中查看最优的迭代次数，具体如代码。

在这之前，我们必须给其他重要的参数一个初始值。初始值的意义不大，只是为了方便确定其他参数。下面先给定一下初始值：

以下参数根据具体项目要求定：

'boosting_type'/'boosting': 'gbdt'
'objective': 'regression'
'metric': 'rmse'

以下参数我选择的初始值，你可以根据自己的情况来选择：

'max_depth': 6     ###   根据问题来定咯，由于我的数据集不是很大，所以选择了一个适中的值，其实4-10都无所谓。
'num_leaves': 50  ###   由于lightGBM是leaves_wise生长，官方说法是要小于2^max_depth
'subsample'/'bagging_fraction':0.8           ###  数据采样
'colsample_bytree'/'feature_fraction': 0.8  ###  特征采样

下面我是用LightGBM的cv函数进行演示：

params = {
    'boosting_type': 'gbdt', 
    'objective': 'regression', 

    'learning_rate': 0.1, 
    'num_leaves': 50, 
    'max_depth': 6,

    'subsample': 0.8, 
    'colsample_bytree': 0.8, 
    }

data_train = lgb.Dataset(df_train, y_train, silent=True)
cv_results = lgb.cv(
    params, data_train, num_boost_round=1000, nfold=5, stratified=False, shuffle=True, metrics='rmse',
    early_stopping_rounds=50, verbose_eval=50, show_stdv=True, seed=0)

print('best n_estimators:', len(cv_results['rmse-mean']))
print('best cv score:', cv_results['rmse-mean'][-1])

[50]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.38497 + 0.0202823
best n_estimators: 43
best cv score: 1.3838664241

由于我的数据集不是很大，所以在学习率为0.1时，最优的迭代次数只有43。那么现在，我们就代入(0.1, 43)进入其他参数的tuning。但是还是建议，在硬件条件允许的条件下，学习率还是越小越好。

Step2. max_depth 和 num_leaves

这是提高精确度的最重要的参数。

max_depth ：设置树深度，深度越大可能过拟合

num_leaves：因为 LightGBM 使用的是 leaf-wise 的算法，因此在调节树的复杂程度时，使用的是 num_leaves 而不是 max_depth。大致换算关系：num_leaves = 2^(max_depth)，但是它的值的设置应该小于 2^(max_depth)，否则可能会导致过拟合。

我们也可以同时调节这两个参数，对于这两个参数调优，我们先粗调，再细调：

这里我们引入sklearn里的GridSearchCV()函数进行搜索。不知道怎的，这个函数特别耗内存，特别耗时间，特别耗精力。

from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
### 我们可以创建lgb的sklearn模型，使用上面选择的(学习率，评估器数目)
model_lgb = lgb.LGBMRegressor(objective='regression',num_leaves=50,
                              learning_rate=0.1, n_estimators=43, max_depth=6,
                              metric='rmse', bagging_fraction = 0.8,feature_fraction = 0.8)

params_test1={
    'max_depth': range(3,8,2),
    'num_leaves':range(50, 170, 30)
}
gsearch1 = GridSearchCV(estimator=model_lgb, param_grid=params_test1, scoring='neg_mean_squared_error', cv=5, verbose=1, n_jobs=4)

gsearch1.fit(df_train, y_train)
gsearch1.grid_scores_, gsearch1.best_params_, gsearch1.best_score_

 {'max_depth': 7, 'num_leaves': 80},
 -1.8602436718814157)

这里，我们运行了12个参数组合，得到的最优解是在max_depth为7，num_leaves为80的情况下，分数为-1.860。

这里必须说一下，sklearn模型评估里的scoring参数都是采用的higher return values are better than lower return values（较高的返回值优于较低的返回值）。

但是，我采用的metric策略采用的是均方误差(rmse)，越低越好，所以sklearn就提供了neg_mean_squared_erro参数，也就是返回metric的负数，所以就均方差来说，也就变成负数越大越好了。

所以，可以看到，最优解的分数为-1.860，转化为均方差为np.sqrt(-(-1.860)) = 1.3639，明显比step1的分数要好很多。

至此，我们将我们这步得到的最优解代入第三步。其实，我这里只进行了粗调，如果要得到更好的效果，可以将max_depth在7附近多取几个值，num_leaves在80附近多取几个值。千万不要怕麻烦，虽然这确实很麻烦。

可见最大深度7是没问题的，但是看细节的话，发现在最大深度为7的情况下，叶结点的数量对分数并没有影响。

Step3: min_data_in_leaf 和 min_sum_hessian_in_leaf

说到这里，就该降低过拟合了。

min_data_in_leaf 是一个很重要的参数, 也叫min_child_samples，它的值取决于训练数据的样本个树和num_leaves. 将其设置的较大可以避免生成一个过深的树, 但有可能导致欠拟合。

min_sum_hessian_in_leaf：也叫min_child_weight，使一个结点分裂的最小海森值之和，真拗口（Minimum sum of hessians in one leaf to allow a split. Higher values potentially decrease overfitting）

我们采用跟上面相同的方法进行：

params_test3={
    'min_child_samples': [18, 19, 20, 21, 22],
    'min_child_weight':[0.001, 0.002]
}
model_lgb = lgb.LGBMRegressor(objective='regression',num_leaves=80,
                              learning_rate=0.1, n_estimators=43, max_depth=7, 
                              metric='rmse', bagging_fraction = 0.8, feature_fraction = 0.8)
gsearch3 = GridSearchCV(estimator=model_lgb, param_grid=params_test3, scoring='neg_mean_squared_error', cv=5, verbose=1, n_jobs=4)
gsearch3.fit(df_train, y_train)

 {'min_child_samples': 20, 'min_child_weight': 0.001},
 -1.8602436718814157)

这是我经过粗调后细调的结果，可以看到，min_data_in_leaf的最优值为20，而min_sum_hessian_in_leaf对最后的值几乎没有影响。且这里调参之后，最后的值没有进行优化，说明之前的默认值即为20，0.001。

Step4: feature_fraction 和 bagging_fraction

这两个参数都是为了降低过拟合的。

feature_fraction参数来进行特征的子抽样。这个参数可以用来防止过拟合及提高训练速度。

bagging_fraction+bagging_freq参数必须同时设置，bagging_fraction相当于subsample样本采样，可以使bagging更快的运行，同时也可以降拟合。bagging_freq默认0，表示bagging的频率，0意味着没有使用bagging，k意味着每k轮迭代进行一次bagging。

不同的参数，同样的方法。

params_test4={
    'feature_fraction': [0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9],
    'bagging_fraction': [0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0]
}

                              metric='rmse', bagging_freq = 5,  min_child_samples=20)

从这里可以看出来，bagging_feaction和feature_fraction的理想值分别是1.0和0.7，一个很重要原因就是，我的样本数量比较小(4000+)，但是特征数量很多(1000+)。所以，这里我们取更小的步长，对feature_fraction进行更细致的取值。

好吧，feature_fraction就是0.7了

Step5: 正则化参数

正则化参数lambda_l1(reg_alpha), lambda_l2(reg_lambda)，毫无疑问，是降低过拟合的，两者分别对应l1正则化和l2正则化。我们也来尝试一下使用这两个参数。

params_test6={

哈哈，看来我多此一举了。

step6: 降低learning_rate

之前使用较高的学习速率是因为可以让收敛更快，但是准确度肯定没有细水长流来的好。最后，我们使用较低的学习速率，以及使用更多的决策树n_estimators来训练数据，看能不能可以进一步的优化分数。

我们可以用回lightGBM的cv函数了，我们代入之前优化好的参数。

params = {
    'boosting_type': 'gbdt', 
    'objective': 'regression', 

    'learning_rate': 0.005, 
    'num_leaves': 80, 
    'max_depth': 7,
    'min_data_in_leaf': 20,

    'subsample': 1, 
    'colsample_bytree': 0.7, 
    }

data_train = lgb.Dataset(df_train, y_train, silent=True)
cv_results = lgb.cv(
    params, data_train, num_boost_round=10000, nfold=5, stratified=False, shuffle=True, metrics='rmse',
    early_stopping_rounds=50, verbose_eval=100, show_stdv=True)

print('best n_estimators:', len(cv_results['rmse-mean']))
print('best cv score:', cv_results['rmse-mean'][-1])

[100]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.52939 + 0.0261756
[200]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.43535 + 0.0187243
[300]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.39584 + 0.0157521
[400]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.37935 + 0.0157429
[500]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.37313 + 0.0164503
[600]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.37081 + 0.0172752
[700]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.36942 + 0.0177888
[800]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.36854 + 0.0180575
[900]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.36817 + 0.0188776
[1000]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.36796 + 0.0190279
[1100]	cv_agg's rmse: 1.36783 + 0.0195969
best n_estimators: 1079
best cv score: 1.36772351783

这就是一个大概过程吧，其实也有更高级的方法，但是这种基本的对于GBM模型的调参方法也是需要了解的吧。如有问题，请多指教。
