List of postprocessor functions =============================== When predicting with tree ensemble models, we sum the margin scores from individual trees and apply a postprocessor function to transform the sum into a final prediction. This function is also known as the link function. Currently, Treelite supports the following postprocessor functions. Element-wise postprocessor functions ------------------------------------ * ``identity``: The identity function. Do not apply any transformation to the margin score vector. * ``signed_square``: Apply the function ``f(x) = sign(x) * (x**2)`` element-wise to the margin score vector. * ``hinge``: Apply the function ``f(x) = (1 if x > 0 else 0)`` element-wise to the margin score vector. * ``sigmoid``: Apply the sigmoid function ``f(x) = 1/(1+exp(-sigmoid_alpha * x))`` element-wise to the margin score vector, to transform margin scores into probability scores in the range ``[0, 1]``. The ``sigmoid_alpha`` parameter can be configured by the user. * ``exponential``: Apply the exponential function (``exp``) element-wise to the margin score vector. * ``exponential_standard_ratio``: Apply the function ``f(x) = exp2(-x / ratio_c)`` element-wise to the margin score vector. The ``ratio_c`` parameter can be configured by the user. * ``logarithm_one_plus_exp``: Apply the function ``f(x) = log(1 + exp(x))`` element-wise to the margin score vector. Row-wise postprocessor functions -------------------------------- * ``identity_multiclass``: The identity function. Do not apply any transformation to the margin score vector. * ``softmax``: Use the softmax function ``f(x) = exp(x) / sum(exp(x))`` to the margin score vector, to transform the margin scores into probability scores in the range ``[0, 1]``. Adding up the transformed scores for all classes will yield 1. * ``multiclass_ova``: Apply the sigmoid function ``f(x) = 1/(1+exp(-sigmoid_alpha * x))`` element-wise to the margin scores. The ``sigmoid_alpha`` parameter can be configured by the user.
